You must have heard about this in the news recently,

"Authorities in Brazil are searching for a missing Roman Catholic priest, after he floated into the air lifted by hundreds of helium party balloons, and then vanished off the coast.

Rescuers in helicopters and small fishing boats were searching off the coast of Santa Catarina state, where pieces of balloons were found.

Reverend Adelir Antonio de Carli lifted off from the port city of Paranagua on Sunday afternoon, wearing a helmet, thermal suit and a parachute.

He was reported missing about eight hours later after losing contact with port authority officials, according to the treasurer of his Sao Cristovao parish, Denise Gallas. "

According to Gallas, the priest soared to an altitude of 20,000 feet, then descended to about 8,200 feet for his planned flight to the city of Dourados, 465 miles northwest of his parish.

Search crews in Brazil have found a bundle of balloons off the coast that were being used by a priest who went missing trying to set a flight record.

Father Adelir de Carli lifted off from the port city of Paranagua on Sunday strapped to 1,000 helium balloons.

Although equipped with flotation equipment, a satellite phone and GPS, contact was lost with him late on Sunday after he was blown off course.

He wanted to break a 19-hour record for the most hours flying with balloons.

He was trying to raise funds to provide a rest stop for lorry drivers in Paranagua, a major port for agricultural products.

Rescue hopes

Father Carli's bundle of brightly-coloured balloons was found floating in the Atlantic Ocean off Santa Catarina state, near the point where he last made contact with authorities on the ground.

Rescue officials were holding out hopes he would still be found alive.
