Static electricity can make things fly

The repulsive force between like charges is strong enough to overcome gravity and make metal foil fly in the air.

Your balloon is a plastic so it's creating resinous electricity and no its not an electron exchange but a build up of 1 type of electricity, why we have rectifiers that separate the ac into + and - electrical currents the positive is always closest to ground though.
