..well seems as though Larry Walters may have a (a balloon nut from LA in 1982) Brazilian cousin who has flown without the use of wings!
A Brazilian priest has rose to around 6000 mtrs suspended under hundreds of helium balloons only to dissapear off the coast somewhere due to advers winds. Apparently he was well prepared (obvioulsy not enough) for such an event by having a helmet, parachute, GPS, Sat Ph. & a floatable chair. A sea & air search has yet to find the God fearin' man. Keep an eye out fella's with the upper jetstream winds he could be calling the STAC at Syd right now organizing a ldg slot time !:E Ya gotta love the fear of God !:)
