Current Events > They're probably not aliens...but does this make any sense?

(+) Yeah! (+)

The mysterious attacks began on July 11.

Strange beings, locals said, visiting an isolated Indigenous community in rural Peru at night, harassing its inhabitants and attempting to kidnap a 15-year-old girl.

These gentlemen are aliens. They seem armored like the green goblin from Spider Man. I have shot one twice and it didnt fall. Instead, it elevated and disappeared, Jairo Retegui vila, a local leader of the Indigenous Ikitu group living in the northwestern Maynas province, told Peruvian radio station RPP Noticias on August 1. Were frightened by what is happening in the community.

Their color is silver, their shoes are round in shape and with those, they rise up. They float one meter high and have a red light on their heel, said vila. Their heads are long, their mask is long, and their eyes are sort of yellowish.

News of the alleged extraterrestrial attackers quickly spread online as believers, skeptics, and internet sleuths around the world analyzed grainy videos posted by members of the Ikitu community. The reported sightings came on the heels of U.S. congressional hearings about unidentified aerial phenomenon that ignited a global conversation about the possibility of extraterrestrial life visiting Earth.

Members of the Peruvian Navy and Police traveled to the isolated community, which is located 10 hours by boat from the Maynas provincial capital of Iquitos, to investigate the strange disturbances in early August. Last week, authorities announced that they believed the perpetrators were members of illegal gold mining gangs from Colombia and Brazil using advanced flying technology to terrorize the community, according to RPP Noticias. Carlos Castro Quintanilla, the lead investigator in the case, said that 80 percent of illegal gold dredging in the region is located in the Nanay river basin, where the Ikitu community is located.

Cristian Caleb Pacaya, a local teacher who witnessed the attack, said that they were using state of the art technology, like thrusters that allow people to fly. He said that after looking the devices up on Google, he believed that they were jetpacks.

Authorities have not made any arrests related to the attacks, nor named the alleged assailants or their organization directly. However, the prosecutors office claimed that they had destroyed 110 dredging operations and 10 illegal mining camps in the area already in 2023.

Like what? Illegal gold miners brought a supply of jet packs to middle of nowhere Peru for some reason? Where does one even get a jetpack?

I did a Google News search for jetpacks mining through 7/1/2023 and the only stories related to mining are about videogames. They aren't some sort of widely used mining tool. I mean, duh, but I checked anyways.

Yeah it's kind of a follow-up.

It is a bit strange that there would be illegal miners with jetpacks. Do conventional jet packs even exist? They said they shot them with guns and it didn't work. Sounds like a hoax.

They do. They're rare, and it's unlikely one would end up in the hands of illegal gold miners, but it's possible.

That reminds of the Futurama Big Foot joke.

"Big Foot likes to hang out just behind big rocks. but are also sometimes playful, bounding into thick fogs and out of focus areas"

how could aliens be real if phones with cameras arent real?

it's 11 pm and watching the start of some video I decided to postpone it.. atmosphere is definitely creepy.

I bet Ayahuasca had something to do with this

it's not like there are other pictures in the same article,no.

Has anyone seen Dafoe lately?

so are these actually people or just person-sized airlift drones, because the latter sounds like a plausible thing
