The residents of a remote jungle in Peru claimed that several extraterrestrials attacked them. However, other sources claimed that the culprit may not be aliens but illegal gold miners.

Aliens Attack Villagers in Peruvian Jungle

Several members of the Ikitu indigenous people in the remote rural district of Alto Nanay, northeast of Lima, claimed they were attacked by extraterrestrials. According to them, the culprits were seven-foot-tall, flying, armored aliens with large heads and yellow eyes. They reportedly looked like Green Goblin from "Spider-Man." The attacks allegedly happened every night since July 11.

Some residents claimed that the aliens resembled "los Pelacaras" (the Face Peelers), weird creatures from Peruvian folklore that eat human organs and fat. According to reports, a 15-year-old girl was kidnapped from behind and had her neck sliced when she protested.

Members of the community claimed that they were afraid and could not sleep.

They urged the Peruvian military to intervene, claiming that the "aliens" resisted their hunting weaponry. The prowlers are said to be wearing armor, according to the villagers.

Community leader Jairo Reátegui Avila claimed last week that these men were immigrants. They have armor that resembles that of Spider-Man's Green Goblin. One of them allegedly remained unharmed even after he shot them twice. Instead, the alleged alien stood up and vanished. The residents were reportedly terrified of what was happening in their community.

They float thanks to the design of their rounded shoes. They hover about one meter above the ground, and the heel has a red light. Their eyes are golden, and they have lengthy heads and masks. They are masters at getting away.

To find the invaders, villager patrols at night were initiated.

They asked the government for a military presence, but it took a 10-hour river ride from Iquitos City to get to the town.

The police reportedly traveled to the secluded location in a speedboat and explored the village's perimeter, including the site of the alleged attack on the adolescent.

It was not apparent if the authorities had discovered any evidence to support the villagers' assertions or if they planned to station military forces in the region for an extended period.

Culprit Are Not Aliens But Illegal Gold Miners

However, another theory suggests that the culprit are not aliens but illegal gold miners on jetpacks. The FARC rebel group, Colombia's Clan del Golfo, and Brazil's O Primeiro Comando da Capital are just a few of the formidable drug cartels linked to illegal gold mining syndicates in Peru, according to the country's law enforcement.

The National Prosecutor's Office of Peru stated that these gold "mafias" are probably employing jetpacks to terrorize the locals through their odd "alien" intimidation campaign, keeping them inside their houses and away from their illegal mining trenches.

Authorities believe the miners used jetpacks to search for gold further into the dense bush. One local teacher witness gave prosecutors information that the attackers had been utilizing propellers and other cutting-edge tools.

According to Peruvian government prosecutor Carlos Castro Quintanilla, they would use cutting-edge equipment like thrusters that enable people to fly. We have looked into the possibility that these men might use this costume to travel there.

According to Quintanilla, the "mafias de extranjeros," or foreign mafias, run their illicit gold mining activities out of towns in Loreto, Peru's far north, with 80% of these operations being in the Nanay river valley where the Ikitu dwell.

The artisanal gold mining sector is worth between $US30 billion and $US40 billion, according to the non-profit Artisanal Gold Council (AGC). Based on AGC's estimate, Peru produces the most artisanal gold in Latin America at 150 metric tons annually. Quintanilla claimed that authorities have so far, in 2023, successfully destroyed ten mining sites and 110 illegal gold dredges.
