"I was having coffee and my father saw it. He called me, I took out the telescope right away and started recording. It's dangerous, because it's an airway. A lot of planes pass through," he said.

In Caçapava, records of balloons were made in the Vila Santos and Guamirim neighborhoods. Releasing balloons is considered an environmental crime.
