About Adelir Antônio de Carli
Adelir Antônio de Carli, also known as Padre Baloeiro or Padre do Balão, was a Brazilian Catholic priest who died after a cluster-ballooning attempt on 20 April 2008. Carli undertook the exercise to raise money to fund a spiritual rest area for truck drivers in the port city of Paranaguá. At Paranaguá, Carli created the Pastoral Rodoviária, a rest area for truckers. To bring more visibility and funding to the Pastoral, Carli decided to attempt to break the 19-hour flight record for cluster ballooning.
