Adelir Antônio de Carli (February 8, 1967 – April 20, 2008), also known in Brazil as Padre Baloeiro or Padre do Balão ("Balloon Priest" in Portuguese), was a Brazilian Catholic priest, who died during an attempt at cluster ballooning on April 20, 2008. Carli, an experienced skydiver, undertook the exercise in order to raise money to fund a spiritual rest area for truck drivers in the Paraná port city of Paranaguá.[1]

Early life

Adelir Antônio de Carli was born in Ampére, Paraná, Brazil on February 8, 1967.[2]

Human rights advocate

In 2006, Carli denounced human rights violations against homeless people in Paranaguá. The Municipal Guard agents of the city would forcibly take homeless people from the streets, usually at night, and dump them in neighboring towns.[3][4] These denunciations caused seven Municipal Guard agents and the municipal security secretary to be arrested.[5]

Previous cluster ballooning attempts

De Carli's goal for the cluster ballooning exercise was to break the 19-hour flight record and claim a new world record. His first attempt was on 13 January 2008, during which de Carli successfully completed a four-hour flight from Ampére, Paraná, Brazil, to San Antonio, Misiones, Argentina over a total distance of 25 kilometres (16 mi).[6][7] Using 600 balloons, de Carli reportedly reached heights of 5,300 metres (17,400 ft).[7]

Fatal cluster ballooning attempt

Course of the doomed balloon flight by Adelir de Carli. Red dot: departure. Red line: expected course. Red triangle: last radio contact. Red cross: body found.

On April 20, 2008, after taking off in a chair attached to 1,000 balloons, Carli reached an altitude of 6,000 metres (19,700 ft) before losing contact with authorities. Pieces of balloon were later reported floating in the sea off the coast.[8]

Carli's flight equipment included a parachute, helmet, waterproof coveralls, GPS device, mobile phone, satellite phone, flotation device chair, aluminum thermal flight suit, and at least five days of food and drinking water. His training for the stunt included jungle survival and mountain climbing courses, but apparently did not include instruction on the use of his GPS navigation device. On April 20, the priest's last contact with the military police occurred during the night, when he was about 16 miles from the islands of Tamboretes, off the coast of São Francisco do Sul, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The priest called from his cell phone to request help determining his coordinates and to ask them to contact the authorities. Two days after the flight, a Penha (SC) Fire Department commander familiar with the situation put the missing priest's chances of still being alive at 80%.[7] The Brazilian Navy called off the ocean search on April 29, saying the chances of finding Carli alive in the ocean were "very remote".[9]

On July 4, 2008, the lower half of a human body was found floating on the ocean surface by an offshore oil rig support vessel about 100 km (62 mi) from Macaé. After the remains were initially identified from the clothing as those belonging to Carli, DNA tests confirmed they were his on July 29, 2008, after a comparison was made with DNA samples from Carli's brother.[10]
