Did Seven-Foot Bulletproof 'Aliens' Attack Peruvian Village? Prosecutor Accuses Illegal Gold Mining Gangs Of Terrorizing Locals

Peru's National Prosecutor's Office alleges gold mining gangs are behind recent “alien” sightings to terrorize locals, New York Post reports.

Residents of Alto Nanay, a northern Amazon Basin village, have reported encounters with 7-foot “aliens” since mid-July. Initially believed to be local legends like the "Face Peelers" or "green goblins," the prosecutor’s office now suspects these “aliens” are actually members of local gold mining gangs.

The gangs’ motive is believed to be instilling fear, keeping locals indoors and away from their illicit gold mines. Prosecutors theorize the gangs utilize jetpacks for mining in hard-to-reach jungle areas near the Nanay River.

"They would be using state-of-the-art technology, such as thrusters that allow people to fly," said Carlos Castro Quintanilla, the government's prosecutor on the case.

Gold-rich Alto Nanay sees these gangs conduct 80% of their illegal activities in the Nanay River basin. The Ikitu indigenous community has sought military intervention and organized night patrols in response.
