Residents of a village in Peru have reported a series of encounters with what they describe as 'seven-foot-tall aliens' clad in dark-coloured hoods. The local leaders have referred to these creatures as 'floating' and 'armoured', asserting that they were invulnerable to bullets. Locals believe that they are ‘aliens’, who come to attack them.

Law enforcement officials are inclined to believe that these incidents might be linked to illegal gold-mining crime syndicates. These officials have put forth a new theory, suggesting that the so-called 'aliens' are more likely members of gold mafias associated with powerful drug cartels such as Brazil's 'O Primeiro Comando da Capital', Colombia's 'Clan del Golfo', and FARC. The ongoing investigation by Peru's national prosecutor's office leans towards the notion that these gold 'mafias' are behind the mysterious attacks.

Authorities are convinced that these gold cartels are manipulating fear by perpetuating an 'alien' threat as part of their operations in Peru. Evidently, the use of jetpacks played a pivotal role in this ordeal, initially employed by these unlawful mining groups to explore potential gold reserves deep within the forest encompassing the Nanay River region in Peru.

The incidents in question began in rural Alto Nanay and Ikitu this summer on July 11th. Numerous locals have voiced their concerns about being assaulted by an enigmatic, seven-foot-tall entity concealed beneath dark hoods. The region is known for its substantial gold deposits accumulated like sediment along the riverbeds.

One of the leaders of the Ikitu community, Jairo Reátegui Ávila, described these entities as 'aliens'. Reátegui Ávila disclosed, "I have shot him twice and he does not fall but rises and disappears." He expressed genuine apprehension about the ongoing situation, stating, "We are frightened by what is happening in the community."

Carlos Castro Quintanilla, the prosecutor handling the investigation, emphasized, "They would be using state-of-the-art technology, such as thrusters that allow people to fly."

As the situation deepens, the villagers' bizarre experiences might indeed be an intricate facade concealing the activities of ruthless gold cartels. The authorities are working to shed light on this perplexing situation and restore a sense of security to the affected community.
