Do aliens exist?
This question is always up for debate in the media anytime there are reports of aliens appearing in some parts of the world. Villagers in Peru have sparked alien controversies again on the internet after they claimed they were attacked by face-eating aliens equipped with jetpacks. Seriously?
Villagers in Alto Nany (located in the Maynas Province of Peru) claim that they recently witnessed an attack at the hands of mystic creatures known by locals as Pelacaras (face eaters). According to reports, the indigenous Ikitu peoples who encountered the beings indicated that their attackers were extraterrestrials standing 7 feet tall with hooded tops and silver amour, rendering their weaponry ineffective.
The tribe alleged that their village has been under attack, on and off, since the second week of July. One of the children even managed to capture a photo of the attackers. While some may have dismissed the string of incidents in the Amazon jungle as an embellishment, a teenage girl was kidnapped by one of the hooded attackers.Â
The story about giant, face-eating aliens made international headlines before prompting the Peruvian government to get involved. Government officials from Peru shot down the villagers’ claims, stating that illegal gold miners were responsible for the attacks, not Pelacaras.
Now that the Peruvian government has shut down the claims by the villagers that they were attacked by face-eating aliens, who are we to side with them? According to the government, the attacks were launched by illegal gold miners. Who should we believe, the government or the villagers?
