‘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.
That title is killing me 🤣 I don’t even want to read the article. All i can think of is either underage kids in jetpacks (assuming this one) or literal adult miners with pickaxes in their hands flying around. This is hilarious.
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 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?
I saw a tiktok of people racing with jetpacks. Pretty cool. Using what looks like mini rockets attached to each hand for control and then the main rockets on the back. Seems pretty simple to me 🤷
Edit: i see someone already posted a link to it. Aint technology cool.
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.
Literal Scooby-Doo shit. Villains trying to scare locals to get at resources.
OK, I obviously didn’t believe it was aliens (because come on), but now I know it has to be. Well done, coppers.
I don’t even know anymore…
Oh yeah yeah jetpacks no worries totally normal
