SÃO PAULO, Brazil — Rescuers scoured the waters off Brazil's southern Atlantic coast Tuesday looking for a Roman Catholic priest who disappeared after floating into the sky strapped to hundreds of helium party balloons.
The Rev. Adelir Antonio di Carli lifted off from Paranagua on Sunday wearing a helmet, an aluminum thermal flight suit, waterproof coveralls and a parachute in a bid to break a record for the longest time in-flight with party balloons and raise money for a "spiritual" rest stop for truckers in Paranagua.

This sounds like something from the Onion (or one of Rex's "stories", for that matter), but it was in the real news on April 23. I haven't heard anything about it since.
