WEBVTT 00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:06.599 From the unexplained to the mundane, come join 00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:13.439 us on a Journey to the Fringe. Hello and welcome 00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:16.879 to Journey to the Fringe, now EPA compliant, 00:00:17.260 --> 00:00:21.519 since the EPA has basically been gutted, so that's 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.420 pretty easy on our part. We are, your eco -friendly 00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:26.640 hosts, Taylor and Chelsea, here today to bring 00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.699 you some perspective in your life. and that is 00:00:29.699 --> 00:00:32.799 on a story that I stumbled across a couple years 00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.560 ago and I want to do a follow -up on it Chelsea 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:37.880 I distinctly asked you about this a while back 00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.420 and you gave me an answer I looked into it I 00:00:40.420 --> 00:00:43.579 didn't think that was sufficient for me so we're 00:00:43.579 --> 00:00:47.100 gonna look at a Peruvian alien sighting from 00:00:47.100 --> 00:00:50.039 2023 that there's no follow -ups on so what I'm 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:53.439 gonna do is we're gonna go through news articles 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.420 from that time to kind of give you an idea of 00:00:56.420 --> 00:00:58.719 how our research works and when you're looking 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:00.520 at good things and when you're looking at bad 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.299 things. This sounds like a fantastic episode 00:01:03.299 --> 00:01:06.799 and I don't know a whole lot about this Peruvian 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.659 rating and I'm pretty sure that's the answer 00:01:08.659 --> 00:01:12.620 that I gave you when asked. Yeah basically. Okay. 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:14.799 I think I have like eight stories we're gonna 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.060 go through some of them from the same one giving 00:01:17.060 --> 00:01:19.519 an update to the story but I'm just going to 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.340 show you what different news sites will give 00:01:22.340 --> 00:01:24.659 you in their stories, what different journalists 00:01:24.659 --> 00:01:26.599 will give you in their stories, and what we're 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:28.859 looking at when we're doing the research so that 00:01:28.859 --> 00:01:31.780 you can see us trying to actually craft a good 00:01:31.780 --> 00:01:34.219 episode. And it's because I couldn't find anything 00:01:34.219 --> 00:01:36.980 outside of this month window that I thought this 00:01:36.980 --> 00:01:38.799 would be the perfect way to kind of give this 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:40.989 example. Does that sound like a good episode? 00:01:41.489 --> 00:01:44.609 Yes. Love the concept. So first, I have to tell 00:01:44.609 --> 00:01:46.750 you the first of this sighting happens on July 00:01:46.750 --> 00:01:51.090 11th in a part of Peru known as Larrito. And 00:01:51.090 --> 00:01:55.269 if you pull up a map of Peru, Larrito is the 00:01:55.269 --> 00:01:58.549 inland part of Peru. It's roughly like one third 00:01:58.549 --> 00:02:00.790 the size of Peru. Are you pulling one up or are 00:02:00.790 --> 00:02:02.730 you just kind of listening to me? I'm pulling 00:02:02.730 --> 00:02:05.390 one up. You told me to. Good, good. OK. Oh, there 00:02:05.390 --> 00:02:08.969 it is. Yeah, it's a fairly significant size. 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.840 it's pretty big and it holds one million people 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.620 and peru's entire population is 34 million people 00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:19.460 so it's one third of the country and it has one 00:02:19.460 --> 00:02:23.479 million people out of 34 million so incredibly 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:28.039 sparsely populated yeah okay mostly indigenous 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.099 groups that live in here because it's in the 00:02:30.099 --> 00:02:33.669 amazon And this is where our story takes place. 00:02:33.849 --> 00:02:36.229 I think that is an important part to explain 00:02:36.229 --> 00:02:38.909 why I don't think there's a lot of follow -up 00:02:38.909 --> 00:02:42.430 in here and why there may be some differences 00:02:42.430 --> 00:02:44.449 in the stories because we're not necessarily 00:02:44.449 --> 00:02:46.629 even speaking Spanish. It might be Indigenous 00:02:46.629 --> 00:02:48.990 cultures who don't speak Spanish who you're getting 00:02:48.990 --> 00:02:53.050 it from. It's right on the border of Colombia, 00:02:53.650 --> 00:02:56.289 Brazil. There's another country there. Ecuador. 00:02:58.379 --> 00:03:01.960 It would almost be right in that chevron issue 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.500 area in fact, it would actually yeah, and it's 00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:08.360 right on the Amazon Basin Yeah, yeah, probably 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:12.000 just and this is actually a very exploited area 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.810 which is going to come up in the story So I am 00:03:15.810 --> 00:03:17.889 going to read the first story I got here. The 00:03:17.889 --> 00:03:21.409 first one I got was from Indie 100. I have never 00:03:21.409 --> 00:03:24.389 seen this before. And this comes from a writer 00:03:24.389 --> 00:03:29.620 by the name of Lee Bullen. Lee Bullen. has written 00:03:29.620 --> 00:03:32.159 many articles. When you click on his name, which 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:34.280 is always great so you can see his background, 00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:37.120 strange naked creature spotted on Google Street 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.199 View, model and influencer tragically dies just 00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.199 hours after liposuction surgery, porn star dies 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.159 just 24 hours after filming her final video, 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.599 10 foot tall alien spotted on a hilltop in Brazil. 00:03:50.139 --> 00:03:52.379 Those are the kind of stories that he's going 00:03:52.379 --> 00:03:56.030 on. Yes. So I just it gives you an idea of what 00:03:56.030 --> 00:03:59.330 he does. He does do some UFO related activity, 00:03:59.590 --> 00:04:02.770 but a lot of just catchy words for title stories. 00:04:03.289 --> 00:04:06.090 So that's where we're starting with love to go 00:04:06.090 --> 00:04:08.250 to a dinner party with him. Just putting it out 00:04:08.250 --> 00:04:10.229 there. He seems like he has some good stuff to 00:04:10.229 --> 00:04:12.949 talk about. Does those are the kind of party 00:04:12.949 --> 00:04:16.329 to go to. This was written on August 8, 2023, 00:04:16.750 --> 00:04:19.209 titled, Armored Alien Attacks Leave Villagers 00:04:19.209 --> 00:04:21.769 Unable to Sleep Out of Fear. Terrified villagers 00:04:21.769 --> 00:04:24.069 say they are being attacked by seven -foot tall 00:04:24.069 --> 00:04:26.170 armored aliens that look like the Green Goblin 00:04:26.170 --> 00:04:28.889 from Spider -Man. Locals describe the extraterrestrials 00:04:28.889 --> 00:04:31.829 as having large heads and yellowish eyes. They 00:04:31.829 --> 00:04:34.009 claim they have attacked them every night for 00:04:34.009 --> 00:04:37.189 nearly a month since July 11th. A 15 -year -old 00:04:37.189 --> 00:04:39.629 girl was allegedly grabbed from behind and had 00:04:39.629 --> 00:04:42.860 her neck cut when she resisted. Community members 00:04:42.860 --> 00:04:45.480 said they can't sleep because they are in fear. 00:04:45.740 --> 00:04:48.579 The claims have been made by members of the Akitu 00:04:48.579 --> 00:04:51.360 indigenous people in the rural district of Alto 00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.339 Nanae, northeast of Lima, Peru. They said the 00:04:54.339 --> 00:04:56.579 aliens are immune to their hunting weapons and 00:04:56.579 --> 00:04:58.779 called on the Peruvian military to step in to 00:04:58.779 --> 00:05:02.000 protect them from further interstellar intrusions. 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.540 Villagers also claimed the alien prowlers wear 00:05:04.540 --> 00:05:08.319 protective armor. Community leader Jairo Riatigua 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:11.339 Avila said, quote, these gentlemen are aliens. 00:05:11.310 --> 00:05:13.589 They appear to be armored like the Green Goblin 00:05:13.589 --> 00:05:16.189 from Spider -Man. I shot one of them twice and 00:05:16.189 --> 00:05:18.529 he wasn't injured. He rose and disappeared. We 00:05:18.529 --> 00:05:20.750 were frightened about what's happening here in 00:05:20.750 --> 00:05:23.370 the community. Their shoes are round shaped, 00:05:23.829 --> 00:05:26.889 which they use to float. They float about one 00:05:26.889 --> 00:05:29.449 meter from the ground and there is a red light 00:05:29.449 --> 00:05:31.970 on the heel. Their heads are long, they wear 00:05:31.970 --> 00:05:34.350 a mask, and their eyes are yellowish. They're 00:05:34.350 --> 00:05:38.009 experts at escaping. End quote. Villagers have 00:05:38.009 --> 00:05:40.629 started carrying out night patrols to hunt down 00:05:40.629 --> 00:05:43.569 the alien intruders. They have requested a military 00:05:43.569 --> 00:05:45.930 presence from the authorities, however it reportedly 00:05:45.930 --> 00:05:48.449 takes a 10 hour river trip to reach the community 00:05:48.449 --> 00:05:51.449 from Equitos City. Some villagers describe the 00:05:51.449 --> 00:05:54.670 aliens as being like, placarous, strange beings 00:05:54.670 --> 00:05:56.790 that feast on human fat and organs. According 00:05:56.790 --> 00:05:59.189 to reports, the police reached the remote area 00:05:59.189 --> 00:06:01.569 on board a speeder vessel and toured the village 00:06:01.569 --> 00:06:03.870 perimeters, including the area where the teenager 00:06:03.870 --> 00:06:06.500 was allegedly attacked. unclear if the authorities 00:06:06.500 --> 00:06:09.100 found anything to corroborate the villagers claims, 00:06:09.579 --> 00:06:12.000 and if the government intended to deploy military 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:13.899 personnel to the area for a sustained period 00:06:13.899 --> 00:06:16.819 of time. End of article. So Chelsea, what do 00:06:16.819 --> 00:06:20.040 you think of that? I find it interesting. Remoteness 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:22.060 we're talking about, and I don't know how remote, 00:06:22.220 --> 00:06:24.540 but everybody's saying it's like the green cove 00:06:24.540 --> 00:06:27.420 from Spider -Man. I know. Where would they get 00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:29.879 that from? That's what I'm thinking. But maybe 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.199 it's not like as remote as I'm thinking. Maybe 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.339 they still have access to that. I'm interested 00:06:35.339 --> 00:06:38.019 to hear more articles and where this is going 00:06:38.019 --> 00:06:41.220 to go. But I do like that's a pretty cool story 00:06:41.220 --> 00:06:44.199 so far. The next one. This is the most direct 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.899 source I could find. It's from La Republica. 00:06:47.019 --> 00:06:51.240 It's written on August 7th, 2023 by Sebastian 00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.560 Aponte. Let's see what else Sebastian's written. 00:06:53.740 --> 00:06:56.680 It's in Spanish, so unfortunately I have to click 00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.519 the button, which is so hard. He has written, 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:01.939 PMP convoy carrying a member of a criminal gang 00:07:01.939 --> 00:07:05.379 and La Libertad intercepted. Elderly man reported 00:07:05.379 --> 00:07:07.500 missing two years ago was found lifeless in his 00:07:07.500 --> 00:07:10.379 room. Death toll rises to four after truck falls 00:07:10.379 --> 00:07:12.939 into a river in Oaxampa. Three are still missing. 00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:15.839 The largest wholesale market in Peru will not 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.560 be in Lima. In which city will it be located? 00:07:18.699 --> 00:07:21.220 So what I get from that is he's at least focused 00:07:21.220 --> 00:07:23.980 on Peru. It's not like buzzwords that he's looking 00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:27.600 for. Does that make sense? Yes. And I did also 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.129 notice absolutely no paranormal topic. And or 00:07:31.129 --> 00:07:34.810 porn stars. Porn stars. So I'm very interested 00:07:34.810 --> 00:07:37.850 to see his take on it. Citizens denounce being 00:07:37.850 --> 00:07:40.310 attacked by strange beings during the nights 00:07:40.310 --> 00:07:43.050 in Laredo. A group of citizens from the Akitu 00:07:43.050 --> 00:07:45.790 tribe, located in Laredo, said that the community 00:07:45.790 --> 00:07:48.410 is being attacked at night by strange beings. 00:07:48.709 --> 00:07:51.730 Jairo Ritugui Davila, president of the community 00:07:51.730 --> 00:07:53.509 in question, said that the attacks have been 00:07:53.509 --> 00:07:56.290 carried out since July 11th of this year. Reports 00:07:56.290 --> 00:07:58.399 from the community members indicate that these 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:00.839 men are hooded, that they dress in black, and 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.519 that they can even measure up to two meters. 00:08:04.019 --> 00:08:07.319 Rayetigue de Villa said that these are the extraterrestrials 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.240 that are terrorizing the entire tribe that is 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:12.060 located in the district of Alto Nene. The tribe 00:08:12.060 --> 00:08:14.660 reports that a minor has already been attacked 00:08:14.660 --> 00:08:16.579 by these strange beings and that as a result 00:08:16.579 --> 00:08:18.600 of the struggle she ended up with a cut on her 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.160 neck. She was treated at the community post where 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.560 hours later she recovered from the shock. The 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:26.980 citizens demand the presence of authorities especially 00:08:26.980 --> 00:08:29.620 the Navy to deal with the situation. Some local 00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:32.399 media indicate that those responsible for these 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.379 attacks would be the beings known as the Pelacara. 00:08:35.620 --> 00:08:38.120 The mythological beings would be dedicated to 00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.299 hunting the community members according to them. 00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.519 According to the Indigenous Peoples Database, 00:08:42.779 --> 00:08:44.779 the Ahitu people living mainly in the province 00:08:44.779 --> 00:08:47.159 of Mena, the department of Laredo. According 00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:49.720 to the results of the 2017 national census, due 00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:51.740 to their customs and ancestors, there have been 00:08:51.740 --> 00:08:55.200 1 ,352 people who have self -identified as part 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:57.340 of the Ahitu. key two people at the national 00:08:57.340 --> 00:08:59.879 level and because of the field work carried out 00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:02.340 by the Ministry of Education. The police arrived 00:09:02.340 --> 00:09:04.320 in the area where the residents announced the 00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.919 presence of these strange beings. The agents 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.980 arrived aboard a speeder known as a fast yacht. 00:09:10.179 --> 00:09:12.559 That might be a bad part of the translation because 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.740 this was written in Spanish. In addition, they 00:09:15.740 --> 00:09:18.440 toured the perimeter of the community, especially 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:20.639 the area where the 15 year old girl would have 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.039 been attacked by these beings. The officers received 00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.309 the versions of the citizens on On the matter, 00:09:25.490 --> 00:09:28.169 some mentioned that this Pellicara hides his 00:09:28.169 --> 00:09:30.789 face and another pointed out that he was seen 00:09:30.789 --> 00:09:33.070 floating. Complainants asked for the intervention 00:09:33.070 --> 00:09:35.830 of the forces of order since the mishap would 00:09:35.830 --> 00:09:38.360 have begun on July 11th. That's the end of that 00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:40.740 article. It's pretty consistent. It's a little 00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:43.980 consistent. I find the Spanish version is much 00:09:43.980 --> 00:09:46.220 less focused on it being aliens though, do you 00:09:46.220 --> 00:09:49.460 not? Yes, but it was still mentioned, right? 00:09:49.539 --> 00:09:52.620 One brief mention of them floating. I agree. 00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:55.860 But outside of that, the idea of the Pelicarus 00:09:55.860 --> 00:09:58.120 or whatever they called them, not necessarily 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.539 aliens as was described in the first article. 00:10:00.620 --> 00:10:02.679 Do you get the same kind of feeling? I feel like 00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.019 the first article played up that feeling of aliens. 00:10:05.299 --> 00:10:09.519 Yeah, my thought on it was why and I think that's 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.159 probably what I caught that made my mind go that 00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:15.440 way why were they calling them aliens because 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:19.919 nobody actually described anything extraterrestrial 00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.399 about it other than having a hood and glowing 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:24.700 yellow eyes which didn't come up in the second 00:10:24.700 --> 00:10:27.460 article and that's the fun thing is a lot of 00:10:27.460 --> 00:10:29.519 these articles are gonna play with the entire 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.960 story interesting but the story stays pretty 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:36.740 well continue I'm going to continue and the next 00:10:36.740 --> 00:10:39.059 story that we're going to cover comes from Vice. 00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:43.759 So this is on August 14th, 2023. Just as an aside, 00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:46.000 where was I listening to Robert Evans the other 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.799 day? I think it was on Could Happen Here and 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:53.210 he quoted Vice and I was like, yes. Vice is good 00:10:53.210 --> 00:10:56.409 shit. This one's from August 14th, 2023, written 00:10:56.409 --> 00:10:59.370 by Nathaniel Janowitz. Let's go see what Nathaniel 00:10:59.370 --> 00:11:18.950 Janowitz has talked about. Why do UFO sightings 00:11:18.950 --> 00:11:21.289 keep happening near nuclear sites? A senator 00:11:21.289 --> 00:11:23.750 paid a teacher to find him teenage boys with 00:11:23.750 --> 00:11:26.190 sexually abused charges, alleged. Three -year 00:11:26.190 --> 00:11:29.210 -old girls killed after a family allegedly found 00:11:29.210 --> 00:11:32.070 cocaine washed up on the beach. So I would definitely 00:11:32.070 --> 00:11:35.110 say this guy's got a fringe to him. Yeah, but 00:11:35.110 --> 00:11:38.070 I feel like I would actually be interested to 00:11:38.070 --> 00:11:40.669 read more of his articles. Not the first day. 00:11:40.789 --> 00:11:42.769 I wouldn't be like, oh, let's read about what 00:11:42.769 --> 00:11:45.169 else he's... Porn stars, yeah. No, this seems 00:11:45.169 --> 00:11:47.649 like he's on the fringe. and he's looking into 00:11:47.649 --> 00:11:50.769 it. And it does help, he's from a source that 00:11:50.769 --> 00:11:55.269 we both trust. So, let's see what he says about 00:11:55.269 --> 00:11:57.809 this story. The mysterious attacks began on July 00:11:57.809 --> 00:12:00.809 11th. Strange beings locals said visiting an 00:12:00.809 --> 00:12:03.470 isolated indigenous community in rural Peru at 00:12:03.470 --> 00:12:05.570 night harassing its inhabitants and attempting 00:12:05.570 --> 00:12:19.639 to kidnap a 15 year old girl. Jairo Reitigue, 00:12:19.860 --> 00:12:22.580 Avila, a local leader of the indigenous Iquitu 00:12:22.580 --> 00:12:25.039 group living in the northwest Mena's province, 00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:29.240 told Peruvian radio station RPP Noticias on August 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.120 1st. We're frightened by what is happening in 00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.179 the community. And I just have to say an aside 00:12:33.179 --> 00:12:35.120 here. This is the first time it actually came 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.759 up where he said it. Thank you for giving us 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:40.340 a primary source. Nobody else gave us a primary 00:12:40.340 --> 00:12:43.840 source. Yeah, okay. Looking good so far. looking 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.440 great so far quote their color is silver their 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:48.740 shoes are round in shape and with those they 00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:51.200 rise up they float one meter high and have a 00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:53.600 red light on their heel their heads are long 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.220 their mask is long and their eyes are sort of 00:12:56.220 --> 00:12:58.940 yellowish end quote said Avila i believe this 00:12:58.940 --> 00:13:02.000 is a tweet i enhanced one of the peru videos 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:04.059 the one where they shine a flashlight on one 00:13:04.059 --> 00:13:05.940 of the alleged creatures and they say there it 00:13:05.940 --> 00:13:08.740 is i don't know what we are seeing here is it 00:13:08.740 --> 00:13:11.320 a being or is it just tree branches you decide 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:14.450 that's from eerie files of St. Nimitz. News of 00:13:14.450 --> 00:13:16.450 the alleged extraterrestrial attackers quickly 00:13:16.450 --> 00:13:18.789 spread online as believer skeptics and internet 00:13:18.789 --> 00:13:21.830 sleuths around the world analyzed grainy video 00:13:21.830 --> 00:13:24.330 posted by members of the Iquitu community. The 00:13:24.330 --> 00:13:26.649 reported sightings came on the heels of U .S. 00:13:27.090 --> 00:13:28.789 congressional hearings about unidentified aerial 00:13:28.789 --> 00:13:31.750 phenomena that ignited a global conversation 00:13:31.750 --> 00:13:33.649 about the possibility of extraterrestrials life 00:13:33.649 --> 00:13:35.909 visiting Earth. Members of the Peruvian Navy 00:13:35.909 --> 00:13:38.110 and police traveled to the isolated community 00:13:38.110 --> 00:13:40.549 which is located 10 hours by boat from the mainest 00:13:40.549 --> 00:13:42.970 provincial capital of Iquito. to investigate 00:13:42.970 --> 00:13:46.009 the strange disturbances in early August. Last 00:13:46.009 --> 00:13:48.269 week, authorities announced that they believe 00:13:48.269 --> 00:13:50.830 the perpetrators were members of an illegal gold 00:13:50.830 --> 00:13:54.570 mining gang from Colombia and Brazil, using advanced 00:13:54.570 --> 00:13:57.029 flying technology to terrorize the community, 00:13:57.129 --> 00:14:01.809 according to RPP Noticias. Carlos Castro Quintanilla, 00:14:02.009 --> 00:14:04.590 the lead investigator in the case, said that 00:14:04.590 --> 00:14:07.350 80 % of illegal gold dredging in the region is 00:14:07.350 --> 00:14:10.669 located in the Nene River Basin, where the Iquitu 00:14:10.669 --> 00:14:13.000 community is located. One of the key pieces of 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.740 the investigation was related to the attempted 00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:16.940 kidnapping of the 15 -year -old girl on July 00:14:16.940 --> 00:14:20.700 29th. Christian Caleb Pacaya, a local teacher 00:14:20.700 --> 00:14:23.159 who witnessed the attack, said that they, quote, 00:14:23.299 --> 00:14:25.379 were using state -of -the -art technology like 00:14:25.379 --> 00:14:28.200 thrusters that allow people to fly. End quote. 00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:30.679 He said that after looking the devices up on 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.240 Google, he believed they were, quote, jet packs. 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:36.639 End quote. Authorities have not made any arrests 00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.159 related to the attacks, nor named the alleged 00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.720 assailants or their organization directly. However, 00:14:41.820 --> 00:14:44.340 the prosecutor's office claimed that they have 00:14:44.340 --> 00:14:47.620 destroyed 110 dredging operations and 10 illegal 00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:50.659 mining camps in the area already in 2023. End 00:14:50.659 --> 00:14:52.740 of article there. Chelsea, what do you think 00:14:52.740 --> 00:14:56.139 of that? Holy shit. That is journalism. But the 00:14:56.139 --> 00:14:59.529 end would say Gold miners are using jetpacks 00:14:59.529 --> 00:15:02.590 to terrorize a local community. In proximity 00:15:02.590 --> 00:15:05.370 to a mine, right? It had ties to a mine. Illegal 00:15:05.370 --> 00:15:07.429 mines, yes. There are illegal mines in the area. 00:15:07.590 --> 00:15:11.129 They're giving a rational explanation. I can't 00:15:11.129 --> 00:15:14.409 foresee any illegal gold miners using jetpacks 00:15:14.409 --> 00:15:18.700 to scare off people. Can you? No, you'd have 00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:21.399 to really want to fuck with people. Local tribes, 00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:24.679 like there's 1300 of these people in a very not 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:27.679 populated area of Peru. They're probably not 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:29.860 that technologically savvy. I don't think you 00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:31.740 need to use a jetpack to actually scare them. 00:15:31.779 --> 00:15:34.259 No, that's true as well. I don't know. Maybe 00:15:34.259 --> 00:15:36.580 you dress up a drone like somebody in a hood 00:15:36.580 --> 00:15:38.399 because they're saying they're black hooded figures, 00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:40.259 which didn't actually show up in that article. 00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:44.769 Did you notice that too? Yes. I get a weird sense 00:15:44.769 --> 00:15:46.909 that the English people are getting a different 00:15:46.909 --> 00:15:49.809 view than the actual Spanish version. Yeah, that's 00:15:49.809 --> 00:15:52.769 true. But the one that you translated had one 00:15:52.769 --> 00:15:56.250 that was probably more similar to the first article 00:15:56.250 --> 00:15:58.450 that you said than this. Yeah. Okay, do you got 00:15:58.450 --> 00:16:00.889 more? Oh, I have lots more. So the next one comes 00:16:00.889 --> 00:16:02.970 from the Mirror. Hold on. What do you think? 00:16:03.149 --> 00:16:05.330 You haven't said what you think about the Vice 00:16:05.330 --> 00:16:08.070 one. The Vice one I don't think is bad. I think 00:16:08.070 --> 00:16:11.090 it aligns most with what the Spanish articles 00:16:11.090 --> 00:16:14.990 are saying. going more towards like a logical 00:16:14.990 --> 00:16:17.629 explanation. I don't think a logical explanation 00:16:17.629 --> 00:16:21.529 necessarily. I don't think it's playing up the 00:16:21.529 --> 00:16:24.330 paranormal alien side of it. That's what I should 00:16:24.330 --> 00:16:27.389 have said versus logical. Okay. So the next one 00:16:27.389 --> 00:16:29.570 comes from The Mirror. It was written on December 00:16:29.570 --> 00:16:33.309 16th, 2023, so well past everything else. It 00:16:33.309 --> 00:16:36.029 was written by Ryan Fahey, who writes articles 00:16:36.029 --> 00:16:49.990 such as, London bus brawl madness as two passengers 00:16:49.990 --> 00:16:52.330 started fighting in the middle of busy journey. 00:16:52.750 --> 00:16:55.210 Pakistan train hijack ends in horrific bloodshed 00:16:55.210 --> 00:16:58.470 as terrorist murders 21 hostages. Pakistan train 00:16:58.470 --> 00:17:01.870 terrorists threaten to punish five hostages every 00:17:01.870 --> 00:17:05.589 hour in horror hijacking standoff. So not necessarily 00:17:05.589 --> 00:17:08.930 what you're looking for for hard -hitting good 00:17:08.930 --> 00:17:11.859 journalism. No. Article type. Girl in Peru believes 00:17:11.859 --> 00:17:14.359 she was abducted by floating seven -foot alien 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.900 gang with green eyes. A girl from Peru has revealed 00:17:17.900 --> 00:17:20.440 terrifying details after witnesses said she was 00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:23.400 abducted by a gang of seven -foot aliens. Right 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:25.700 off the bat, this is the first one that outright 00:17:25.700 --> 00:17:28.240 says we're ready to start their aliens. Yeah. 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:31.400 Residents of Peruvian village known as Akito 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:34.160 have reported a series of chilling incidents 00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:37.019 committed by a mob of towering beings that have 00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:39.660 left the tribe in a state of terror. One of the 00:17:39.660 --> 00:17:41.859 incidents involved a 15 -year -old girl named 00:17:41.859 --> 00:17:44.839 Talia who has told a film crew how she was attacked 00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.839 by two figures clad in black body armor and wearing 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.640 masks. Now Chelsea, did you notice the difference 00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:53.519 there? So far they've been robed figures but 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:55.940 those were two black body armored and wearing 00:17:55.940 --> 00:17:59.809 masked figures. There was an implication in one 00:17:59.809 --> 00:18:02.410 of the, well, no. No, the implication is their 00:18:02.410 --> 00:18:04.809 weapons did nothing to them, so maybe they weren't 00:18:04.809 --> 00:18:06.750 successful. Okay, you got the same exact thought 00:18:06.750 --> 00:18:08.970 that I was on. I'm glad you guys knew what I 00:18:08.970 --> 00:18:11.089 was talking about there. No, they didn't outright 00:18:11.089 --> 00:18:13.970 say that. Okay. They have quotes from her. My 00:18:13.970 --> 00:18:16.730 eye felt bad. It felt cloudy. My face felt like 00:18:16.730 --> 00:18:19.309 it was swelling. She said, adding that she couldn't 00:18:19.309 --> 00:18:22.349 feel her face. The attackers then spread the 00:18:22.349 --> 00:18:24.650 same substance across her face. She said, the 00:18:24.650 --> 00:18:27.430 alien connection may have been from the attempted 00:18:27.430 --> 00:18:30.069 kidnappers, green eyes, and the jetpacks they 00:18:30.069 --> 00:18:32.190 were wearing, which could be activated by pressing 00:18:32.190 --> 00:18:34.950 a button on their boots. Chelsea, I'm gonna post 00:18:34.950 --> 00:18:39.210 this photo to our chat just so you can see it. 00:18:39.509 --> 00:18:43.309 My question on this one while I wait is why is 00:18:43.309 --> 00:18:47.309 this guy based on his history even writing about 00:18:47.309 --> 00:18:49.670 it? I think he's a tabloid writer, so he doesn't 00:18:49.670 --> 00:18:52.349 care about journalism. That's my first thought 00:18:52.349 --> 00:18:56.309 on it. And this is the girl who was slashed and 00:18:56.309 --> 00:18:59.269 she apparently had a photo of them. This right 00:18:59.269 --> 00:19:02.369 here. But that also, when you're looking at the 00:19:02.369 --> 00:19:04.289 screen, it looks like she pulled up a photo of 00:19:04.289 --> 00:19:06.289 somebody wearing a jetpack, not what happened, 00:19:06.349 --> 00:19:08.849 what she saw. It does. Yeah. It doesn't look 00:19:08.849 --> 00:19:10.849 like she took that photo. Does that make sense? 00:19:11.029 --> 00:19:13.910 Yeah, because you can see other stuff going on 00:19:13.910 --> 00:19:16.890 what's in the photo. Yeah. Like you can see writing 00:19:16.890 --> 00:19:19.589 on the bottom. And that is the girl that was 00:19:19.589 --> 00:19:22.500 attacked. Okay. So just so you can see it. That 00:19:22.500 --> 00:19:24.559 could have been a lost in translation. Yeah, 00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:27.220 for sure. Members of the Iquitu population branded 00:19:27.220 --> 00:19:30.000 the airport attackers as green goblins and have 00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.259 linked them to a local legend as Los Pelacares, 00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:35.900 the face peelers. The local leaders describe 00:19:35.900 --> 00:19:38.380 them as floating creatures that can't be harmed 00:19:38.380 --> 00:19:41.160 by bullets. Speaking to local broadcasters, radio 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:45.599 programs de la Peru, Iquitu leader Jairo Riatigüe 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.059 Avila said, quote, these gentlemen are aliens, 00:19:49.339 --> 00:19:51.440 end quote. That's the first time I've seen that 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:56.710 quote. These gentlemen are aliens. I love that 00:19:56.710 --> 00:19:58.910 quote. However, Peruvian officials have put forward 00:19:58.910 --> 00:20:01.109 a theory to suggest that the attackers are less 00:20:01.109 --> 00:20:03.430 otherworldly. They would be using state -of -the 00:20:03.430 --> 00:20:05.509 -art technology such as thrusters that allow 00:20:05.509 --> 00:20:09.970 people to fly. Quintanilla told RPP he believes 00:20:09.970 --> 00:20:11.789 that the local community has been terrorized 00:20:11.789 --> 00:20:14.450 by illegal miners armed with jetpacks. The region 00:20:14.450 --> 00:20:17.289 itself is currently being plundered for its rich 00:20:17.289 --> 00:20:20.069 gold sources, as the precious metals is posited 00:20:20.069 --> 00:20:23.490 like silt along the Nane River bed, a tributary 00:20:23.490 --> 00:20:26.369 of the Amazon. Even officials believe it has 00:20:26.369 --> 00:20:28.589 become so lucrative for drug cartels that it's 00:20:28.589 --> 00:20:30.430 dwarfing profits from the drug trade. Between 00:20:30.430 --> 00:20:34.269 2013 and 2023, it raked in $8 .2 billion when 00:20:34.269 --> 00:20:36.809 compared to just $640 million from trafficking. 00:20:37.250 --> 00:20:40.869 Talia's interview was recorded by five MEO productions, 00:20:41.269 --> 00:20:43.569 documentarians who produced films about paranormal 00:20:43.569 --> 00:20:46.950 activity, but what she says may support the prosecutor's 00:20:46.950 --> 00:20:49.309 theory. Quote, I went back to our garden to pick 00:20:49.309 --> 00:20:52.170 tangerines. and while I was picking tangerines 00:20:52.170 --> 00:20:54.369 so I could make myself a drink, that's when I 00:20:54.369 --> 00:20:57.410 felt dry leaves blowing all around me." When 00:20:57.410 --> 00:21:00.950 she turned, she saw a quote, very tall man. When 00:21:00.950 --> 00:21:03.950 I tried to run, he grabbed me by the neck and 00:21:03.950 --> 00:21:06.529 he turned me around and covered my mouth. End 00:21:06.529 --> 00:21:09.430 quote, Talia said. Two Colombian men were held 00:21:09.430 --> 00:21:11.589 in November in connection to the illegal gold 00:21:11.589 --> 00:21:14.609 mining, but released a little over a week later 00:21:14.609 --> 00:21:17.130 on the orders of a local judge. That's the end 00:21:17.130 --> 00:21:19.529 of the article. They all have just a little bit 00:21:19.529 --> 00:21:22.450 different that you can't find an original source 00:21:22.450 --> 00:21:24.750 for like any of this so it's just I feel like 00:21:24.750 --> 00:21:26.990 they're all adding their little bits obviously 00:21:26.990 --> 00:21:29.289 they are yeah the other thing that I noticed 00:21:29.289 --> 00:21:32.349 on that one is they said Green Goblin they didn't 00:21:32.349 --> 00:21:37.000 yes so that might be in addition the first journalist 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:40.779 made into it. Maybe his assumption? Maybe not. 00:21:40.980 --> 00:21:43.480 I don't know. Maybe that was a doubt of this 00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:45.519 one, but something interesting that I thought 00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:48.599 from this one. I'm loving this. Obviously something 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:51.200 happened. Something's going on. Something's fishy. 00:21:51.619 --> 00:21:53.779 Next one, Chelsea. This comes from The Mirror, 00:21:54.140 --> 00:21:58.000 written by Ewing Gledow on August 9th, 2023. 00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:00.579 Just so we're all on the same page, I went to 00:22:00.579 --> 00:22:02.220 look this guy up to see what kind of articles 00:22:02.220 --> 00:22:04.819 he did. Doesn't have a page anymore. So he doesn't 00:22:04.819 --> 00:22:06.819 look for them anymore and they don't care to 00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:09.180 talk about what he did. So I find that a little 00:22:09.180 --> 00:22:13.099 revealing First off article title seven foot 00:22:13.099 --> 00:22:16.220 tall yellow -eyed alien dubbed face peelers leave 00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:20.619 tribe terrified of attacks. What? Face peelers, 00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:23.680 okay. What a headline. He's really going for 00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:26.920 it. Eerie looking aliens with yellowish eyes 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:29.700 have been dubbed face peelers by a tribe leaving 00:22:29.700 --> 00:22:32.799 in fear of attacks. I feel like that's a typo 00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:36.440 right there. Yep, that would be a table. Mysterious 00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:39.400 outsiders have been labeled Los Pelicaras by 00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:42.039 the frightened Akitu tribe in the Alto Nene district 00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:44.799 of northeast of Liba, Peru. The villagers have 00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:47.160 found themselves fighting back against who they 00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:49.960 think could be extraterrestrial predators. Those 00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:53.700 Pelicaras are said to feast on the faces of humans, 00:22:54.059 --> 00:22:56.539 and it appears the shrouded dark -colored hood 00:22:56.539 --> 00:22:59.019 -wearing aliens have been targeting the tribe 00:22:59.019 --> 00:23:02.670 for some time. Nearly a month ago, July 11th 00:23:02.670 --> 00:23:04.670 was the first sighting of the strange beast, 00:23:05.089 --> 00:23:07.250 and since then a 15 year old girl was hospitalized 00:23:07.250 --> 00:23:10.029 due to an encounter with the face peelers. Although 00:23:10.029 --> 00:23:12.250 the creatures are not yet confirmed to be anything 00:23:12.250 --> 00:23:14.630 from beyond the stars, community leader Jairo 00:23:14.630 --> 00:23:17.970 Rietigwe Davila said as a result of the struggle 00:23:17.970 --> 00:23:20.609 they cut part of her neck. Which is an interesting 00:23:20.609 --> 00:23:22.589 way to put that too, they've all put it slightly 00:23:22.589 --> 00:23:25.759 differently. But villagers' safety is paramount 00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:28.779 and patrols are now constant away for the terrified 00:23:28.779 --> 00:23:31.400 tribe to keep an eye out for the feast peelers. 00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:33.980 Those patrols were organized to protect women, 00:23:34.059 --> 00:23:36.079 children and the vulnerable from the attackers 00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:38.799 who have now lingered near the community for 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:41.720 a month. Local media reports indicate the village 00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:44.400 has been struggling to sleep due to their heightened 00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:47.059 state of fear from the attackers. Community leader 00:23:47.059 --> 00:23:50.000 Dai Vila has even said he came face to face with 00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:52.140 the face peelers adding quote their shoes are 00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:54.160 round shaped. Which they used to float their 00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:56.900 heads are long they wear a mask and their eyes 00:23:56.900 --> 00:23:59.740 are yellowish They are experts at escaping. Well, 00:23:59.940 --> 00:24:03.460 we have met also face to face this face is hardly 00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:06.359 visible I have seen his whole body floating at 00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:08.579 a height of one meter He said suggesting that 00:24:08.579 --> 00:24:11.200 being was hovering end quote interesting how 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.400 everybody seems to get slightly different things 00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:15.859 from that radio report where he actually spoke 00:24:15.859 --> 00:24:20.259 Yeah, it could be a translation thing, but It 00:24:20.259 --> 00:24:22.099 really could be listening to that's not gonna 00:24:22.099 --> 00:24:24.099 help me but everybody seems to get different 00:24:24.099 --> 00:24:26.980 things from it There's a few constants like the 00:24:26.980 --> 00:24:29.599 round shoes the floating a little bit like I'm 00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:31.799 saying I think we're safe to say like we can 00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:34.400 put together the common Denominations of what's 00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:36.980 actually happened here. I think what we're looking 00:24:36.980 --> 00:24:41.039 at is not only I love the way you're doing this 00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:45.240 by the way, not only lost in translation, but 00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:49.180 also Journalistic styles. Yeah, and you can really 00:24:49.069 --> 00:24:51.670 tell when it's a tabloid that they're adding 00:24:51.670 --> 00:24:54.230 things. Yeah, absolutely. Like trying to make 00:24:54.230 --> 00:24:57.049 it a little more exciting. Oh yeah, I love this. 00:24:57.170 --> 00:24:59.269 Well, and yeah, this is like, I'm trying to show 00:24:59.269 --> 00:25:01.750 you how I do my research, what I'm looking at 00:25:01.750 --> 00:25:03.829 it, and I try to make sure that this person who 00:25:03.829 --> 00:25:06.210 wrote it, do they write something around this 00:25:06.210 --> 00:25:10.299 area? Is this a reputable new source? like what 00:25:10.299 --> 00:25:12.920 are we doing from here and especially like how 00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:15.200 can we look at this area and find actually good 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.880 sources the last one we're gonna finish off with 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:21.279 chelsea this comes from love republic again just 00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:22.920 on that train of thought of what you're going 00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:25.400 on and I think a lot of times when we're looking 00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:29.380 at stories like that too is kind of taking out 00:25:29.380 --> 00:25:32.779 the additions that you see people adding so you're 00:25:32.779 --> 00:25:36.019 taking the constants and that's why I said obviously 00:25:36.019 --> 00:25:38.000 something happened because you know you're getting 00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:40.619 some constants on all the articles I think that's 00:25:40.619 --> 00:25:42.759 a lot of what we do as well is kind of take out 00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:45.740 all the other bullshit and just go you know here's 00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:49.019 kind of what we gather happened you know all 00:25:49.019 --> 00:25:51.930 this other fluff that's being added that could 00:25:51.930 --> 00:25:55.549 or could not be true. Of course and the big thing 00:25:55.549 --> 00:25:58.269 here is like this is a remote area. There's only 00:25:58.269 --> 00:26:01.690 going to be like one primary source at best and 00:26:01.690 --> 00:26:04.650 everybody just flourishes off of that and brings 00:26:04.650 --> 00:26:08.250 their story to it. You see this so badly in the 00:26:08.250 --> 00:26:11.230 UFO community. And especially when there's multiple 00:26:11.230 --> 00:26:15.569 people and I don't think This is so much of what 00:26:15.569 --> 00:26:17.670 it is, but I'm just going to bring it up for 00:26:17.670 --> 00:26:20.250 shits and giggles. A lot of times when you deal 00:26:20.250 --> 00:26:22.269 with things like the paranormal and we brought 00:26:22.269 --> 00:26:24.789 it up so much and people don't know how to explain 00:26:24.789 --> 00:26:27.450 it, you're going to get varying descriptions 00:26:27.450 --> 00:26:30.049 between person to person as well. But I don't 00:26:30.049 --> 00:26:32.069 think that's what this is. No, I don't think 00:26:32.069 --> 00:26:34.250 so. I think this is embellishments based on the 00:26:34.250 --> 00:26:36.750 fact that nobody has a direct source that they're 00:26:36.750 --> 00:26:39.230 dealing with because it's such a remote area 00:26:39.230 --> 00:26:41.750 that they can't get to it. So they feel welcome 00:26:41.750 --> 00:26:45.269 to embellish it. I agree on that. How I feel 00:26:45.269 --> 00:26:47.490 that way is we're gonna finish what I feel is 00:26:47.490 --> 00:26:51.470 the best source on this, which is again, La Republica 00:26:51.470 --> 00:26:54.900 on August 10th. They followed up on their original 00:26:54.900 --> 00:26:58.559 article. This one was written by Milagros Corrales, 00:26:58.819 --> 00:27:30.730 who writes articles such as, So when I get that, 00:27:31.170 --> 00:27:34.009 I'm not reading somebody who's trying to play 00:27:34.009 --> 00:27:36.970 big with their words. Somebody who's just trying 00:27:36.970 --> 00:27:39.609 to be municipally correct. Do you understand 00:27:39.609 --> 00:27:42.089 what I'm trying to say there, Chelsea? Absolutely. 00:27:43.690 --> 00:27:46.250 They were not aliens, they were illegal miners. 00:27:46.609 --> 00:27:49.369 Prosecutor's office reveals community investigation 00:27:49.369 --> 00:27:52.250 in Laredo. The public prosecutor's office revealed 00:27:52.250 --> 00:27:54.730 the investigation it carried out in a community 00:27:54.730 --> 00:27:57.730 in Laredo in which citizens reported being attacked 00:27:57.730 --> 00:28:00.329 by strange beings during the night. According 00:28:00.329 --> 00:28:02.269 to information from the prosecutor's office, 00:28:02.289 --> 00:28:04.829 they were illegal miners who intended to cause 00:28:04.829 --> 00:28:07.509 fear in the Akitu indigenous people in order 00:28:07.509 --> 00:28:09.950 to commit their illegal activities without any 00:28:09.950 --> 00:28:12.829 impediment. As recalled after the complaint of 00:28:12.829 --> 00:28:14.859 citizens sins about the appearance of extraterrestrials 00:28:14.859 --> 00:28:17.880 in the Amazon, very close to the Diné River. 00:28:18.599 --> 00:28:20.700 The authorities went to the area to verify the 00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:23.599 events described and recorded by the members 00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:26.079 of the community. In the videos, horrifying scenes 00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:28.660 were shown in which the population of the area, 00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:30.940 including children, had to defend themselves 00:28:30.940 --> 00:28:32.980 from the appearance of strange beings that rose 00:28:32.980 --> 00:28:36.019 or were masked. The episodes occurred during 00:28:36.019 --> 00:28:38.559 the night and did not allow them to rest. The 00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:41.259 prosecutor investigating the case, Castro Puentaneila, 00:28:41.460 --> 00:28:44.839 has indicated to RPP that those who would be 00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:47.880 behind these events would be illegal miners from 00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:50.220 the countries of Brazil and Colombia. He also 00:28:50.220 --> 00:28:52.839 said that there are mafias of foreigners who 00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:55.240 are dedicated to the illegal extraction of gold 00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:57.900 who operate in different towns in the Laredo 00:28:57.900 --> 00:29:00.880 area. In addition, he narrated that the alleged 00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:03.599 subjects responsible for the attacks use high 00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:05.859 tech equipment such as jet packs that allow them 00:29:05.859 --> 00:29:08.859 to rise and fall in the air. This verifies the 00:29:08.859 --> 00:29:11.400 version of a teacher who witnessed an attempt 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:14.359 kidnapping of a minor described what was mentioned 00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:16.859 above. Illegal minors in Brazil and Colombia 00:29:16.859 --> 00:29:19.299 search for gold in the Peruvian jungle. Currently 00:29:19.299 --> 00:29:21.920 they pollute rivers by using chemicals which 00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:24.500 cause the death of many living beings. A teacher 00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:26.420 in the area witnessed the attempted kidnapping 00:29:26.420 --> 00:29:29.059 of a minor on July 29th. The teacher mentioned 00:29:29.059 --> 00:29:31.440 the use of a high -tech propellant and equipment 00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:34.680 which allows people to rise and descend with 00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:37.759 ease. Reports from community members indicate 00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:39.839 that these men are hooded, that they dress in 00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.670 black, and that they even measure up to two meters. 00:29:43.390 --> 00:29:46.549 Ritigwe de Vila said that these are extraterrestrials 00:29:46.549 --> 00:29:48.630 that are terrorizing the entire tribe and that 00:29:48.630 --> 00:29:52.539 it is located in the district of Alto Nene. In 00:29:52.539 --> 00:29:54.859 regards to the specialist in ufology Anthony 00:29:54.859 --> 00:29:57.500 Choi, explaining that these phenomena are quite 00:29:57.500 --> 00:30:00.440 recurrent in Peruvian Amazon. He emphasized that 00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:02.519 this year, in proximity to what was reported 00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:05.680 in this locality, the citizens of Pulkalpa also 00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:07.859 reported similar events. And I couldn't find 00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:10.359 anything about that, so that's where I have to 00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:12.500 leave this off. I actually don't think that's 00:30:12.500 --> 00:30:14.759 a great answer, but I think that's the best answer 00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:17.180 we're gonna get. Okay, I take it back. I think 00:30:17.180 --> 00:30:20.059 that this one's the best answer. And I love that 00:30:20.059 --> 00:30:23.450 they brought in an expert. like a UFO investigator 00:30:23.450 --> 00:30:26.789 at the end in the article. I don't know. As a 00:30:26.789 --> 00:30:29.869 whole, what I'm getting from the story from all 00:30:29.869 --> 00:30:34.349 of the articles together is crazy no matter what 00:30:34.349 --> 00:30:37.190 happened. Whether it's aliens, whether it's miners. 00:30:37.750 --> 00:30:41.789 Most down -to -earth answer we have is gold miners 00:30:41.789 --> 00:30:45.029 using jet packs, which is just... And then we 00:30:45.029 --> 00:30:48.809 come back again to why. Why would they be using 00:30:48.809 --> 00:30:50.940 jet packs? In my mind, what they're trying to 00:30:50.940 --> 00:30:54.079 do is scare off the local groups because they 00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:57.700 want to mine the area. Which could be a very 00:30:57.700 --> 00:30:59.859 feasible thing and that's pretty fucking dark. 00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:02.980 See, I don't think it has to be that dark. I 00:31:02.980 --> 00:31:06.039 don't know. It could be the gold miners like 00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:09.240 sun. was really into technology and he just wanted 00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:12.000 to, like, use jetpacks. So he's like, let's buy 00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:14.440 some jetpacks so we can scare off the locals. 00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:17.059 If it was like a teenager or something like that, 00:31:17.259 --> 00:31:19.400 it might even be less sinister than that. It 00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:21.859 might just be to fuck with them. This is an entirely 00:31:21.859 --> 00:31:25.000 contained story. Nothing happens after December 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:28.180 of 2023. I couldn't find any newer stories than 00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:31.049 that. Yeah. That's the weird part about this 00:31:31.049 --> 00:31:35.509 one. Interesting. Okay. I wasn't actually expecting 00:31:35.509 --> 00:31:39.109 that. That's where the story ends. It's not quite 00:31:39.109 --> 00:31:41.130 as fulfilling as you would like, but you get 00:31:41.130 --> 00:31:43.569 to see the different interactions that people 00:31:43.569 --> 00:31:46.190 have with this story, which I found very interesting. 00:31:46.490 --> 00:31:48.549 I love the way you presented it. I think that 00:31:48.549 --> 00:31:51.990 this is incredible. And now I'm just left. My 00:31:51.990 --> 00:31:56.000 mind is like reeling. about because we got so 00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.480 many different stories. Something happened. What 00:31:58.480 --> 00:32:00.920 happened? It's a choose your own adventure. It 00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:03.019 really is a choose your own adventure. And with 00:32:03.019 --> 00:32:05.079 that, I have been Taylor.
