AudioBlog: Part 2: Hovering Assailants Reported in Peru in 2023 and Before

In Last the last related blog, we looked at a case from 2023 that
involved Ikitu tribe members in the village of San Antonio de
Pintuyacu in Peru who reported nighttime attacks by 7-feet-tall
aliens with elongated heads wearing black body armor and masks that
had yellow or green eye lenses. They were said to stand of some
sort of circular device like Green Goblin from the Spiderman movie
that enabled them to fly and hover. Some villagers attributed the
attacks to creatures from local folklore called Los Pelacaras (The
Face-Peelers) said to feed on human faces and organs. Adding
credence to this belief, a 15-year-old girl, identified as Talia,
suffered an attack that resulted in her being taken to a hospital
with lacerations on her neck. Witnesses reported that, as they came
to her rescue, they saw the attackers flying away. Police came to
investigate, and a spokesman for the Peruvian National Prosecutor’s
office, Carlos Castro Quintanilla, came to the conclusion that
illegal gold miners using jetpacks to explore deep into the jungle
were responsible. This caused the story to die down in the news,
but Timothy Alberino, a documentary film maker and paranormal
enthusiast based in Bozeman, Montana, who had spent a good deal of
time as a young man living in the jungles of Peru, returned to
investigate the story first-hand and shared his findings on his
YouTube site and on podcasts. While the descriptions of the
creatures and the encounters were quite strange, there is a history
of these sorts of reports linked to outsiders seeking to exploit
natural resources in areas occupied by indigenous people, often
with little concern for their rights. Read more
