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.
