‘Flying aliens’ harassing village in Peru are actually illegal miners with jetpacks, cops say::Authorities announced their theory after visiting the isolated Indigenous community where the attacks took place.
What.
it’s 2023, and… yeah… this story sounds like bad sci-fi, so it’s probably true. I’d read he article, but I’m afraid I’d see the word “unobtainum” and throw my phone across the room.
I thought we hadn’t figured out a reliable jet pack technology yet other than those stupid water things. Are you telling me Peruvian miners have figured out jet pack technology and are using it to prank villagers?
from another comment:
That thing looks amazing, but also like, one poorly thought out move/ maneuver away frame plasma slicing off your leg.
at least it would be a cool story ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Were these cops named Fred, Velma and Daphne, cause this headline sounds like it came right out of a Scooby-Doo episode.
Since people keep asking, if its anything, I bet its a Gravity pack: https://gravity.co/
Lots of search and rescue teams train on these as they are simple to fly, and fairly maneuverable.
I don’t even know anymore…
Oh yeah yeah jetpacks no worries totally normal
Just FYI, there are some really wild drugs available in the Peruvian jungle.
