Rescuers reacuers reached a cluster of brightly colored party balloons floating in the ocean off Brazil's coast Tuesday but did not fnd the Roman Catholic priest who had been using them in a bid to set a flight record.
The priest, an expirienced skydiver, also had a GPS device, satellite phone and bouyant chair with him, said Johnny Coelho, commander of the Penha Fire Departament. "He last used the phone and GPS on Sunday at 8:45p.m. to let the Navy know his location", Coelho said. "We haven't heard from him since"You find the attitude of the priest correct to fly without exactly kwowing to use a GPS?
