On 20 April 2008, Brazilian priest Adelir Antônio de Carli left Paranaguá (PR), bound for Dourados, in Mato Grosso do Sul. He flew in colourful helium balloons and aimed to stay in the air for 20 hours. The winds carried him into the Atlantic Ocean, communications and navigation failed, and his body was only found, by chance, 3 months later by a ship.
