Missing, the Brazilian priest who floated off under hundreds of helium party balloons
A Roman Catholic priest who floated off under hundreds of helium party balloons is missing off the southern coast of Brazil.
Rescuers in helicopters and small fishing boats were searching off the coast of Santa Catarina state, where pieces of balloons were found.
The Rev Adelir Antonio de Carli lifted off from the port city of Paranagua on Sunday afternoon, wearing a helmet, thermal suit and a parachute.
The smiling 41-year-old priest was strapped to a seat attached to a huge column green, red, white and yellow balloons, and soared into the air to the cheers of a crowd.
He was reported missing about eight hours later after losing contact with port authority officials.
The priest wanted to break a 19-hour record for the most hours flying with balloons to raise money for a spiritual rest-stop for truckers in Paranagua, Brazil's second-largest port for agricultural products.
Some American adventurers have used helium balloons to emulate Larry Walters - who in 1982 rose three miles above Los Angeles in a lawn chair lifted by balloons.
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 north-west of his parish.
But winds pushed him in another direction, and Carli was some 30 miles off the coast when he last contacted Paranagua's port authority.
Carli had a GPS device, a satellite phone, and a buoyant chair and is an experienced skydiver, said the treasurer of his Sao Cristovao parish, Denise Gallas.
"We are absolutely confident he will be found alive and well, floating somewhere in the ocean," she said.
"He knew what he was doing and was fully prepared for any kind of mishap."
Hey There, I´m brazilian…
The latest news is that they found some baloons at the ocean, while looking for him on a plane.
Now, they sent a boat to try to find him.
The weather was pretty bad that day and it isnt getting better.
They were looking for him like 20 km from the coast ant the satelite phone company said they should go further.
Each hour passed by shrinks the hope to find him.
He was not carrying the proper equipment to sea survive, as He wasnt expecting to reach the ocean.
He risks his life for charity and always said we should do something for the ones that doesnt have what we have.
Now its wait and pray

You are all shocked that a man strapped to 500 ballons disappeared into the sky?!?
How do you say "I am an idiot and I did a dumb thing and now I am fish food" in Portuguese?
They found him! He was found in Indiana, Ohio and Illinois
This is too funny
experienced or not, you cannot beat mother nature. she's gonna do what she wants to do. i doubt he's alive.
u have to agree that its a little funny…a lot actually..
…i hope the poor guy is found…i bet he does this again
Riiiiiiiiiiight. He's totally going to be found dead!
People will probably think that God himself took this Priest into Heaven..crazy religious people.

Dude- that rocks. You get what you ask for.
Thin the herd.
I hope they find him alive. He was doing it for a good cause.
Didn't this happen on "Arrested Development"?
if it was perez, the balloons wouldnt go anywhere.
How do you say "I am an idiot and I did a dumb thing and now I am fish food" in Portuguese?
"Sou uma idiota, fiz uma coisa idiota, e agora sou comida pros pexe"
he had done the exact same thing before! carrying like a needle to burst the ballons and eventually come down
but now it didnt work
Aww no way, imagine the view he must have had, regardless that he was probably having a heart attack floating 30 miles off coast, lol
god's speed priest!

awwww poor guy hope hes found!!!
just like danny deckchair!
I hope that buoyant chair is shark proof.
aww why did he do that in the first place?
you have to admit it's kind of funnny though….
but i hope he's okayy.
Finally he found a way to see god. He will be in heaven, surrounded by cute little children who will satisfy his every desire.
Ummm, He didn't have a parachute???????????????????????
i go pee pee now
He's probably floated off to child molester heaven.
How come they haven´t found him? If he had a GPS device and a satellite phone it's kind of strange!
DARWIN AWARDS,IDIOT
WHAT FUCKING IDIOT….OH WHERE WAS GOD TO HELP HIM?????? BIG SHOCKER THAT HE DOESN'T EXIST. HOPE HE DIDN'T GET HIT BY A JET.
LMAO.
idiot.
ok, sorry, i shouldnt have laughed. but seriously…shouldn't he at least have had a phone? some sort of communication?
"Yeah…um guys…im flying across water…i repeat, im no longer over land…over…hello??"

wow sucks to be this guyy i gess there will be no mass for that curch hahaha
he does look like dub-ya!!
he is alive and happy cuse I live in santa catarina and it's a beautiful state!
Re: Cee –
how could call someone a "bastard" of religious beliefs when he was trying to raise money for a good deed? let's see you try to do this kinda thing. u would probably do it out of idiocracy or publicity instead of something out of good. this sort of event maybe insane but at least he's trying to help other's out!!!!!!! i hope he's ok. if not at least he'll be in a good safe place.
HA!
I love all the idots that post thinking their going to be first…
"ME ME, I'M FIRSTTTT"
No, silly, you're like, 10th.
Anyway,
I hope they find balloon guy.
The guy looks like Gene Simons!!!
hilarious.
They should tether all old people to helium balloons and launch them into outer space!!!
I knew Brazil was a shithole and most of the population is dirt poor but don't they have real balloons or airplanes. Guess not, dumbass personified.
aaaaeeeeeeh up up and away beaner!
This isn't funny, the poor man was doing something for charity and is now likely dead. Shame on you fucking imbeciles for joking about it!
haha, I'm from Brazil, and I knew about this. But I couldn't imagine this new would reach you! hahahaha ;D It's funny, but is sad too. He was doing this for a good purpose. I hope he's ok =D
kisses, Perez, i love you! *-*
"floating somewhere in the ocean"
dead perhaps?
lol..
Ohh no.. he is a priest.. he flied directly to God…
lol..
gaahh
i know its not funny but it looks a little for me
what a fucking moron, serves the mother fucker right bitch!
Re: I hate all you fucking morons – the fact that he may be dead isn`t funny, it`s the part where he`s such a fucking moron to do this in the first place that`s funny. so go fuck yourself BIOOOOTCHHHHHHHH
Re:vini – yes he is brazilian…………………
Re: Hottie –
Actually he's 41…not that old, retard. Probably as old as the guy you are having an affair with.
Re: I KNEW BRAZIL WAS POOR BUT… – u r so stupid …….did u ever go to brazil????ur dumbass……….im brazilian……..and there r poor people in brazil but they hav a lot more personality then u do………we r really good people ……money doesnt change ur personality……..got it??………stupido filho da puta……………….
Shouldn't a priest be more wise…? Doing this doesn't make people realise its cause for it- it just makes people think what a dumbass he is for letting go like this. Seriously, if he's found alive then it's a miracle. I read some comments that the weather was pretty bad that day….where's the common sense people! Waist of human resources. He probably THINKS HE'S GOD.
i pray he is found. poor guy, he was just trying to do something good for the world.
KT #2 people like you are the reason the world is so fucked up. you mean piece of shit.
This happened here in my state in Brazil, there's been a comotion since this priest disappeared… appearently they found the baloons today, but no sight of him.
Re: CM – fly me with ballons so i can see catherine mcphee, lmfao.
wow eu sou brasileira e não vejo problema algum nesse fato, infelizmente acidentes acontecem e eu espero q encontrem ele com vida, não sei porque o preconceito com o rapaz! muito corajoso….one kiss from brazil perez…
Thats what the moron gets for polluting our ocean's with balloons!
Contender for the Darwin Awards?
wow- it was his time to go!
DID ANYBODY HEARD ABOUT THE CASE OF A LITTLE GIRL IN BRAZIL , MUDERER BY HER PARENTS.
TO SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the city is called PARANA
not paranagua..
get your shit straight..
Fucking idiot should have been set on fire before his flight.
thats a shame for brazilians
((((
ASSHOLE ¬¬
Hi i'm brazilian, the state is PARANÁ and the city is PARANAGUÁ.
The priest now is very famous all the world are talking about that…
About the child girl here is to sad..
how can people comment that he's an idiot? he did that for charity!
Re: whatthefuck –
Priests believe in an invisible man in the sky, if anything we should assume the'y are mentally retarded
Re: I KNEW BRAZIL WAS POOR BUT… –
fuck u idiot! it´s because of people like u that the whole world think american are stupid and dumb.
Alive and well FLOATING IN THE OCEAN!? WTH?
Jennie
ooo thats ruff..
Like in the movie "danny peckchair" What a dufus.
Howard Stern has been trying to get eric the midget to do that. now he will never do it.
doing something wonderful for God's people is never idiotic or stupid. That is what is wrong with this world today. too many critics and not enough activists. Think of all the people tthat would have a better place in this world if there were more people like him out there doing things like this to raise money to do God's work.
Re: braziliangirl – tu madre esa bruja y tu padre es un maricon Y tu es un perro. pobre nalga. I can smell Brazil from here, peeeeeu!
I invite you to come to the US and be a massage parlor worker or stripper or prostitute like every other bitch that comes here from brazil. gracias pig!
Re: Anny – No, it's because of people who write "U" instead of "you" you lonely ass pig. You are on perezhilton not mensa's home retard!
what an idiot…
come on.. he couldn't think of a better way to raise money…
hope they find him….. but I don't think he will.
he needs to float to space to collect money to build a spiritual stop for molestors like him?when he makes crap loads off of the poor people in brazil who give the frickin churches all their stinkin money in the damn collection plate they pass around…? I'm sure Satan will save his "holy" minion
Re: Tickle My Nuts… –
Hi, I'm a brazilian.
You'd say: Eu sou um idiota e fiz uma coisa burra e agora sou comida de peixe.
By the way… he disappeared on my city, so everybody is hating me right now because I laughed a lot at this. but yeah, it's sad.
What does FIRST mean?
Dear, Brazil's dirt poor it's a fact and they hate blacks,
WE DON'T SPEAK SPANISH, YOU IDIOT.
sounds like the movie danny deck chair i wonder were he ends up?
He went back to Emerald City without Toto!
aw man, that blows. what a moron. i guess he floated on up to god. poor bastard.
hahahahahah. I feel really bad laughing at this, but I can't help it.
Poor guy, God rest his soul……….he had a dream and too bad that people have to be such assholes, oh ya- your all perfect I forgot…….
he went over the rainbow to oz. isn't that how that works?
Party balloons - failed
Buoyant chair - failed
GPS - failed
But let's not give up hope. No. There might still be hope for the brave priest and the spiritual rest-stop for truckers in Paranagua…
hahahahaha sad, but funny
looks like tommy lee jones haha
Re: pppp –
HAHAHAHAH
funny man!!!
LOL UHMMMM……………. LAST!
what some people do to raise money what a douche! at least he thinks god is on his side…
dude…hes an ass..he could have made it up 2 outer space…and then all his balloons pop…he run out of air and DIE
It's sad and funny.
I am brazilian, and well i know for a fact that sometimes priests must do extreme stuff to raise money. Its a sad fact.
It's sad because he was trying to do a good action.
Funny because….well….a man in balloons?? hehehehe
"We are absolutely confident he will be found alive and well, floating somewhere in the ocean," she said.
