The 1,000 Balloon Flight Found In The Ocean

SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Hopes dimmed for a priest who vanished after sailing into the air, carried off by hundreds of colorful helium-filled party balloons. The cluster of balloons was found floating off Brazil's southern coast Tuesday.

The Rev. Adelir Antonio de Carli's former paragliding teacher called his disappearance a ''tragedy foretold.'' Marcio Andre Lichtnow said he was a ''headstrong, anxious individual who was always in a rush. I asked him to abandon the course because of these personality traits, which are not the ideal profile for a paraglider,'' Lichtnow said.
