Speaker 9 On July 11th, 2023, just after sunset, a girl started screaming.

Speaker 11 The men on patrol responded quickly.

Speaker 14 Over the past few weeks, something had been terrorizing their village, and tonight they were ready.

Speaker 7 The men armed with hunting rifles and shotguns opened fire.

Speaker 17 The bullets had no effect.

Speaker 3 The attackers were seven feet tall, covered in black armor, with large helmets and glowing yellow eyes.

Speaker 14 In an instant, they were gone.

Speaker 17 But they didn't run.

Speaker 11 They hovered six feet off the ground and disappeared into the Amazon jungle.

Speaker 23 The girl was bleeding from a cut on her neck and barely conscious.

Speaker 15 She almost became another victim of los pelicaras, the face peelers.

Speaker 24 At first, the authorities didn't believe in face peelers, then the bodies showing up, bodies without faces.

Speaker 8 The attacks in 2023 were shocking, but they weren't new.

Speaker 14 For years, something has been hunting people in the Amazon.

Speaker 30 In the 1970s, the island Colares in Brazil was under siege.

Speaker 22 People were attacked by beams of light that drained their blood.

Speaker 7 They all had burn marks and puncture wounds that doctors couldn't explain.

Speaker 9 There were over 200 victims.

Speaker 15 Two people even died.

Speaker 29 Finally, the mayor begged the government for help.

Speaker 27 The Brazilian Air Force took thousands of photographs, videos, and witness testimonies.

Speaker 10 That was Operation Prato.

Speaker 31 There's a link below to the whole story.

Speaker 15 It can't be debunked.

Speaker 30 And there's a twist.

Speaker 11 But in case you haven't seen it, I won't spoil it.

Speaker 33 Brazil, Colombia, and Peru kept having encounters, all violent.

Speaker 7 The earliest documented case was Juan Cervantes in 2013. His body was found floating in Lake Emiria.

Speaker 20 No signs of drowning or trauma.

Speaker 15 But his face was completely gone, right down to the skull.

Speaker 11 And there was a precise cut all around his neck. Skeptics said he was attacked by piranhas, but the autopsy showed he died before he went into the water.

Speaker 9 Fish would have eaten more than just his face, and fish don't make surgical cuts, but the face peelers do.

Speaker 38 In April 2023, the face peelers attacked again.

Speaker 11 A boy's body was found in the same area. Again, his face was gone.

Speaker 20 Again, precise cuts.

Speaker 11 There is a video of this if you want to see it, which you don't.

Speaker 40 The attacks then accelerated.

Speaker 33 On September 2nd, 2023, Pablo Verdales, a villager from Pecuna Lake, was sitting on his porch.

Speaker 15 About 7 at night, he saw a light between the trees only 50 feet from his house.

Speaker 23 He called his family out, and everyone saw the same thing.

Speaker 11 Humanoid beings about seven feet tall.

Speaker 7 They wore black, astronaut-like armor.

Speaker 11 They wore black helmets that hid their features except for glowing yellow eyes.

Speaker 13 And most shocking, they stood on disc-shaped platforms and hovered above the ground.

Speaker 40 Pablo fired his shotgun and hit one of them.

Speaker 7 Except for a few sparks from the impact on the armor, the entity was unaffected.

Speaker 15 Then it returned fire.

Speaker 17 It shot a laser beam that knocked Pablo out for hours.

Speaker 11 Then the beings accelerated into the air and disappeared into the night sky. There was no doubt this was yet another alien attack in the Amazon.

Speaker 11 Not only only did the villagers see the aliens up close, they also saw large silent craft hovering in the sky.

Speaker 45 They were acorn-shaped, the length of a private jet, but wider.

Speaker 33 No wings, no propellers, just bumps on the hull and a lot of flashing lights.

Speaker 29 The major hotspot was San Antonio de Pintayacu, a remote village in the jungle occupied by the indigenous Ikatu people.

Speaker 23 The only way in or out is a 10-hour boat ride down the Nanyi River.

Speaker 11 In the summer of 2023, there were sightings every night.

Speaker 7 Village leader Hairo Dabila documented all of them.

Speaker 41 The reports were consistent.

Speaker 21 Beings seven feet tall, wearing black armor and elongated black helmets with yellow eyes.

Speaker 17 They didn't walk.

Speaker 28 They had red lights at the bottom of their feet that allowed them to hover.

Speaker 35 They could jump over houses.

Speaker 28 The only sound was a faint hiss as they accelerated.

Speaker 36 Every night, men grabbed rifles and patrolled the perimeter.

Speaker 46 Their weapons were useless.

Speaker 20 Shotgun pellets made a dull pinging sound when bouncing off the aliens' armor. The community lived in constant fear, too scared to hunt or farm.

Speaker 33 Food supplies ran low.

Speaker 31 They were trapped.

Speaker 24 The attacks seemed random.

Speaker 23 Nobody knew what these beings wanted.

Speaker 7 But that would change when 15-year-old Talia was attacked.

Speaker 40 After she escaped, she told her family exactly what the aliens wanted: they wanted her face.

Speaker 24 They asked how she knew this.

Speaker 15 She said, I heard them say it.

Speaker 49 When you're pulling long nights at the studio like I do, dinner usually ends up being whatever is fastest, not necessarily what's best.

Speaker 49 I used to rotate between the same bland, healthy-ish meals just to keep going.

Speaker 48 It got boring fast.

Speaker 50 But then I tried Cook Unity and everything changed.

Speaker 37 This week, I had Chef Walter Adrianson's Peruvian Shrimp Chow Main.

Speaker 49 Imagine tender shrimp, crisp veggies, spaghetti noodles, all tossed in a slightly spicy, citrusy green sauce that tasted like it came straight out of a top-tier restaurant kitchen.

Speaker 48 It's this fusion of Peruvian flavors and Chinese cooking that totally flipped dinner on its head.

Speaker 48 What makes Cook Unity special is that every meal is crafted by award-winning chefs using hand-picked, seasonal ingredients.

Speaker 50 You can choose from over 300 rotating dishes.

Speaker 19 No more boring meal preps or flavorless health food.

Speaker 5 Not all group chats are the same, just like not all Adams are the same.

Speaker 5 Adam Brody, for example, uses WhatsApp to plan his grandma's birthday using video calls, polls to choose a gift, and HD photos to document a family moment to remember.

Speaker 1 All in one group chat.

Speaker 52 Makes grandma's birthday her best one yet.

Speaker 5 But Adam Scott group messages with an app that isn't WhatsApp. And so, the photo invite came through so blurry, he never even knew about the party.

Speaker 12 Yeah, grandma still won't talk to me.

Speaker 5 It's time for WhatsApp. Message privately with everyone.

Speaker 6 I didn't think the pain from the Shingles rash would affect simple everyday tasks like bathing, getting dressed, or even walking around. I was wrong.

Speaker 6 Though not everyone at risk will develop it, 99% of people over the age of 50 already have the virus that causes shingles, and it could reactivate at any time.

Speaker 6 I developed it, and the blistering rash lasted for weeks. Don't learn the hard way, like I did.

Speaker 11 On July 11th, 2023, Talia Davila Diaz was in her backyard picking fruit as she did almost every night.

Speaker 51 Suddenly, she felt a rush of wind behind her.

Speaker 33 She turned around and saw a tall figure hovering on a circular platform.

Speaker 20 It was covered in black armor and had bright yellow eyes.

Speaker 51 It moved silently and faster than any human she'd ever seen.

Speaker 24 Then another being grabbed her from behind and covered her mouth.

Speaker 38 The first held her legs.

Speaker 8 She fought, but their grip was unnaturally strong.

Speaker 47 Then the attack became a procedure.

Speaker 41 One of the figures put something like a nasal syringe up her nose.

Speaker 35 Instantly, Talia was overwhelmed by a sharp chemical smell.

Speaker 32 Her vision began to blur and she started to lose consciousness.

Speaker 45 They had given her some kind of sedative.

Speaker 23 Then they smeared cold cream on her face.

Speaker 11 Terrified and disoriented, her face started going numb.

Speaker 17 Then she heard them speaking, speaking Spanish. One had a local Peruvian accent.

Speaker 21 The other had an American accent, a gringo.

Speaker 22 She heard the local voice say, be careful, be careful.

Speaker 11 Then he said the words that defined this entire phenomenon don't use too much you'll ruin the flesh they weren't trying to kill her they were trying to peel her face one of them produced a small glowing device a laser scalpel she heard a humming sound and smelled something burning they were cutting into the side of her neck somehow she was able to get her hand under the helmet of one of her attackers this gave her just enough time to scream then she heard the local attacker say let's get out of here then the Americans said, no, we can't just leave her here.

Speaker 36 They tried to drag her onto one of the platforms, but the villagers heard the struggle.

Speaker 40 They came running with flashlights and shotguns.

Speaker 28 The figures dropped Talia and shot straight up into the sky, gone.

Speaker 45 They left no boot prints, just two perfect circles pressed into the soft ground.

Speaker 17 Talia survived, but with a deep cut on her neck and severe PTSD.

Speaker 11 But her story finally revealed the invader's motive, to peel the skin off her face.

Speaker 40 What happened to Dalia seemed shocking and new, but for the Ikatu elders, it was both terrifying and familiar.

Speaker 18 They knew this story.

Speaker 40 It had been passed down through the tribe for 500 years.

Speaker 14 The technology was new.

Speaker 36 The method of attack wasn't.

Speaker 31 The Ikatu tribe elders knew exactly what they were facing, because their ancestors had faced it before.

Speaker 21 They had a name for it, pistaco.

Speaker 27 In the 1500s, when Spanish conquistadors tore through Peru with steel and gunpowder, they were searching for gold.

Speaker 31 Any locals that got in their way were killed.

Speaker 38 But it got worse.

Speaker 40 The Spanish were taking something from the bodies of the dead, something the Andean people considered very valuable.

Speaker 24 human fat.

Speaker 30 In Europe, fat was used to treat wounds, grease the gears of machines, maintain weapons.

Speaker 29 But they believed that human fat was even more potent.

Speaker 37 But for the Andean people, this was a desecration.

Speaker 40 In their culture, fat was life.

Speaker 10 To take a person's fat was to steal their essence.

Speaker 20 The pistaka was born from this horror.

Speaker 24 A pale-skinned man who hunted at night, carried a knife, and peeled the skin off his victims.

Speaker 18 Now, this isn't just a ghost story.

Speaker 14 In 2009, Peruvian police arrested a gang carrying plastic soda bottles filled with liquefied human fat.

Speaker 23 They were selling it on the European black market.

Speaker 11 Human fat was supposedly used in high-end cosmetics.

Speaker 37 The price?

Speaker 10 $36,000 a gallon.

Speaker 24 The ancient legend had found a modern market.

Speaker 11 Evidence of the pistacos kept appearing.

Speaker 14 A few days later, in the village of Ocobamba, farmers found all their sheep dead.

Speaker 45 The injuries were consistent with animal mutilations from New Mexico to Argentina.

Speaker 27 Two neat holes drilled in the skull, eyes removed, brain gone.

Speaker 40 No blood, no tracks, no explanation for how this could be done.

Speaker 22 After Tolia was attacked, the villagers used a satellite phone to call for help.

Speaker 29 They wanted the Navy, armed soldiers, they wanted protection. Eventually, a couple of police officers arrived to investigate.

Speaker 40 It didn't take them long to solve the crime.

Speaker 24 They knew exactly what this was: miners wearing jetpacks.

Speaker 37 The police investigation was brief.

Speaker 15 The conclusion was simple.

Speaker 11 The attackers were illegal gold miners using jetpacks to scare the villagers off their land.

Speaker 40 The international press picked up the story.

Speaker 14 It was a convenient explanation that dismissed the entire phenomenon, and the explanation stuck.

Speaker 11 But the story, the jetpack miner story, had holes, big ones.

Speaker 7 First, the technology. Commercial jetpacks are loud, hard to control, and can fly only for a few minutes.

Speaker 47 But witnesses say they hovered for hours, moved with superhuman agility, leaping over houses, and all in complete silence.

Speaker 11 You couldn't do this in the middle of the densest jungle in the world.

Speaker 11 The villagers had set traps around the perimeter.

Speaker 7 Shotguns rigged tripwires.

Speaker 15 Throughout July, they heard the traps firing at night.

Speaker 41 Every morning, they'd check for bodies.

Speaker 11 All they found were mysterious oval footprints, twice the size of human feet, and no blood.

Speaker 14 And the motive doesn't make sense.

Speaker 11 Cartels and illegal miners want to stay under the radar.

Speaker 38 These attacks were terrifying.

Speaker 15 They brought global attention.

Speaker 22 The last thing a covert mining operation wants is a visit from the press or the police.

Speaker 11 The jetpack story collapses completely when you look at the city of Naunton Nauta nearby.

Speaker 26 35,000 people and no gold.

Speaker 32 And yet a humanoid figure was caught on video climbing a rooftop in the dead of night.

Speaker 41 Why would a miner be doing that?

Speaker 15 If these attacks weren't done by miners or the cartels, then we're looking at something far darker.

Speaker 24 Because every year, nearly 12,000 women vanish in Peru.

Speaker 9 Most are girls, teenagers.

Speaker 24 Fewer than half are ever found.

Speaker 25 Some are trafficked.

Speaker 36 Others completely disappear.

Speaker 18 But disappear to where?

Speaker 41 Some investigators believe these women are being used as livestock.

Speaker 24 The black market for human organs is a multi-billion dollar industry.

Speaker 7 A single body can be worth millions.

Speaker 40 The face peeler motive suddenly had a terrifying real-world context.

Speaker 41 Organ harvesting explains the motive.

Speaker 11 Remote villages provides the opportunity.

Speaker 40 But But what about the means?

Speaker 15 This theory doesn't explain the technology.

Speaker 20 Gangs and cartels have a lot of money, but not for technology like this.

Speaker 17 If we're assuming these attacks are being done by men and not aliens, who would have such advanced tech?

Speaker 36 The CIA and military might.

Speaker 37 So, was the U.S.

Speaker 11 military operating deep in the jungles of Peru at the exact time of these attacks?

Speaker 34 They were.

Speaker 7 While the villagers were under attack, another force was in the jungle, organized, armed, American.

Speaker 32 That summer, the U.S.

Speaker 11 military was running a massive exercise called Resolute Sentinel 2023, right out of Aquito's naval base, just upriver from San Antonio de Pintuyacu, Talia's village.

Speaker 23 87 U.S.

Speaker 41 Marines were in the region until July 9th.

Speaker 26 The Pelicatus attacks began July 11th.

Speaker 23 The timeline is in theory, this is a fact.

Speaker 3 And the Marines weren't alone.

Speaker 7 The operation included multiple U.S.

Speaker 18 branches, even the Space Force.

Speaker 36 Why was Space Force part of jungle warfare training in Peru? Nobody asked, so nobody knows.

Speaker 20 Suddenly, the villagers' stories don't sound like aliens.

Speaker 11 They sound like a field test for black budget technology.

Speaker 41 The silent hovering isn't a commercial jetpack.

Speaker 32 It's consistent with experimental silent lift systems using advanced ducted fans or even electromagnetic propulsion.

Speaker 20 The armor sounds a lot like the Talos suit, an advanced combat exoskeleton.

Speaker 11 The suit is bulletproof and enhances a soldier's speed and strength.

Speaker 21 Night vision goggles explain the glowing yellow eyes.

Speaker 32 The laser burns match the effects of directed energy weapons, which use millimeter waves to heat an area.

Speaker 31 These weapons work on missiles, so they would definitely work on human skin.

Speaker 15 And then there's the detail from Talia's testimony.

Speaker 31 Two voices, one local, the other a gringo, an American.

Speaker 7 The Peruvian Amazon is an ideal test site for secret operations and experimental equipment.

Speaker 20 Dense terrain, limited oversight, no media access.

Speaker 11 It's a region with a long history of exploitation, a place where thousands go missing every year.

Speaker 14 But this is something the Peruvian government doesn't like to discuss.

Speaker 55 So, jetpacks.

Speaker 29 The official story was illegal gold miners with jetpacks, the media bought it, and that was the end of it.

Speaker 11 But it wasn't the end for the Ikatu people in San Antonio de Pintuyacu.

Speaker 32 They swore this was something else.

Speaker 21 The government wouldn't listen.

Speaker 36 The villagers were dismissed as simple and superstitious. They were desperate for help.

Speaker 27 And a few weeks later, help would arrive.

Speaker 51 You know that one shirt in your closet you actually like wearing? Imagine if every shirt felt like that. That's basically what happened when I found True Classic.

Speaker 44 These guys started with a simple mission.

Speaker 29 Premium, comfortable clothing without the designer price tag, and clearly they nailed it.

Speaker 51 They've sold over 25 million shirts to more than 5 million customers and stacked up over 200,000 five-star reviews.

Speaker 50 And I get it, their shirts actually fit.

Speaker 15 Tailored where you want it, relaxed where you need it.

Speaker 51 No stiff fabric, no bunching, just that clean, effortless look that works for real life.

Speaker 23 I own many of their tees and wear them, well, almost every day.

Speaker 44 You see them on the show.

Speaker 29 The second you throw one on, you'll feel the difference.

Speaker 51 Forget overpriced designer brands or cheap throwaways.

Speaker 29 True Classic is built for comfort, built to last, and built to make you look good without draining your wallet.

Speaker 42 You could grab them on Amazon, Target, Costco, Sam's Club, or head to trueclassic.com/slash the why files to try them for yourself. That's trueclassic.com/slash the why files.

Speaker 1 Not all group chats are the same, just like not all Adams are the same.

Speaker 5 Adam Brody, for example, uses WhatsApp to plan his grandma's birthday using video calls, polls to choose a gift, and HD photos to document a family moment to remember, all in one group chat.

Speaker 52 Makes grandma's birthday her best one yet.

Speaker 5 But Adam Scott group messages with an app that isn't WhatsApp. And so the photo invite came through so blurry, he never even knew about the party.

Speaker 12 And grandma still won't talk to me.

Speaker 5 It's time for for WhatsApp. Message privately with everyone.

Speaker 56 By the time I hit my 50s, I'd learned a few things. Like how family is precious.
Work can always wait. And 99% of people over 50 already have the virus that causes shingles.

Speaker 56 Not everyone at risk will develop it, but I did. The painful, blistering rash disrupted my life for weeks.

Speaker 23 With food supplies running low and the government silent, the people of San Antonio de Pintuacu were on their own.

Speaker 8 Then in October 2023, help arrived.

Speaker 15 American explorer and investigator Tim Alberino and former Marine Doug Thornton, they launched a privately funded expedition to the Amazon.

Speaker 24 Their mission, to provide aid and find the truth.

Speaker 7 They brought supplies, food and medicine.

Speaker 23 They brought high-powered flashlights, radios, night vision goggles with recording capabilities.

Speaker 40 Alberino and Thornton spent days in the village.

Speaker 46 Everybody was on edge.

Speaker 20 Men carried shotguns everywhere, even during the day.

Speaker 37 But their weapons were barely functional.

Speaker 13 Rusty barrels, some held together with wire and tape.

Speaker 11 The villagers had cut down a wide swath of jungle around their community.

Speaker 7 This was a desperate attempt to extend their line of sight against an enemy that came from the dark.

Speaker 7 The men of San Antonio de Pintuacu were brave and intelligent, but they didn't have the experience or training necessary to defend their homes.

Speaker 15 So Doug Thornton provided it.

Speaker 22 He taught the men basic patrol tactics, how to move in a column, how to handle their weapons safely, so they wouldn't accidentally shoot each other in the chaos of an attack.

Speaker 10 After interviewing dozens of witnesses, Alberino was convinced the villagers were telling the truth about what they saw, but he didn't believe they were seeing aliens.

Speaker 14 He believed they were facing a powerful international organization involving sex trafficking and organ harvesting.

Speaker 23 They were using advanced technology, possibly reverse-engineered alien tech.

Speaker 20 An organization like that would have the means and the opportunity.

Speaker 36 But what about the motive?

Speaker 31 Well, they had that too.

Speaker 36 The motive was profit and the method was terror.

Speaker 31 And the alien story was the perfect cover.

Speaker 8 And the Ikatu people, defenseless and discredited by their government, they were the perfect victims.

Speaker 36 Seven foot-tall hovering beings terrorize a remote village.

Speaker 46 A 500-year-old legend of face-peeling monsters seems to come to life.

Speaker 22 And in the middle of it all, a secretive U.S.

Speaker 11 military operation is active just miles away.

Speaker 7 So let's break down what we know.

Speaker 7 It's easy to see why the Peruvian government was so quick to dismiss the story.

Speaker 29 And the Nania River is gold.

Speaker 28 Lots of gold.

Speaker 35 During the pandemic, the authorities disappeared.

Speaker 15 Gold prices soared, and the jungle opened up. Criminal networks from Brazil and Colombia moved in.

Speaker 32 They set up illegal gold mining operations that generate billions of dollars a year.

Speaker 27 But these operations use dredges and pumps and shovels, not hoverboards and lasers.

Speaker 24 If this were about gold, why attack Nauta, a city with no gold at all?

Speaker 36 So were these aliens?

Speaker 34 Probably not.

Speaker 11 Why would aliens speak Spanish?

Speaker 21 With an American accent?

Speaker 20 There's strong evidence Americans were involved.

Speaker 28 The training ended on July 9th.

Speaker 43 The attacks began on July 11th.

Speaker 40 The timeline is fact.

Speaker 8 Talia, hearing two accents, one local, one American, points directly toward a joint operation, which it was.

Speaker 23 The CIA has done plenty of evil things, but pretending to be face peelers sounds like a stretch.

Speaker 6 It isn't.

Speaker 20 The CIA once faked vampire attacks as part of a counterinsurgency strategy.

Speaker 23 In the 1950s in the Philippines, a communist group called the Hux tried to overthrow the government.

Speaker 45 The CIA brought in a psychological warfare unit to try to scare the Hux away.

Speaker 23 There was a local legend of a monster called the Aswang.

Speaker 40 The Aswang had a sharp tongue that it would use to drain the blood of its victims.

Speaker 22 So the CIA started hunting the Hux.

Speaker 7 They kidnapped them, punctured their necks, and hung the corpses upside down to drain their blood.

Speaker 36 The plan worked better than they expected.

Speaker 23 The same PSYOPS unit was deployed in Vietnam a few years later for Operation Wandering Soul.

Speaker 36 They broadcast ghostly voices and screams into the jungle at night.

Speaker 22 This was so effective that the U.S.

Speaker 7 was instructed not to play the sounds around their local allies.

Speaker 36 They were terrified.

Speaker 11 But why would the CIA go through all this trouble and take on so much risk for money?

Speaker 36 They have access to all the money they need.

Speaker 41 And what about Tim Alberino's theory about a shadowy organization harvesting organs using alien technology?

Speaker 27 That's probably the best theory we have, but there's no proof to support it.

Speaker 14 But Tim went to the jungle.

Speaker 45 He spoke to the witnesses.

Speaker 37 He did prove their fear is real.

Speaker 37 The official story is a lie.

Speaker 41 We know that.

Speaker 20 Whether the attackers were miners, soldiers, traffickers, or something else, they were organized and technologically superior.

Speaker 41 I don't think this is aliens.

Speaker 23 I'm pretty sure this is being done by men, evil men.

Speaker 14 And if this is happening in Peru, it's happening to defenseless people in remote villages all over the continent.

Speaker 15 maybe even beyond.

Speaker 11 Advance technology in the hands of those who profit from suffering.

Speaker 7 We've seen that all throughout history.

Speaker 15 The face peelers aren't a legend anymore.

Speaker 39 They're an industry.

Speaker 14 And business is booming.

Speaker 23 As recently as a few weeks ago, there are some strange activities, and there's

Speaker 36 local local authorities are almost at war with the illegal gold miners.

Speaker 22 For as little as three bucks a month, you get access to perks like videos early with no commercials, exclusive merch, and two private live streams every week just for members.

Speaker 25 You can turn your camera on, come up on stage, ask a question.

Speaker 11 I think it's a great way to get to know us as people.

Speaker 11 Another great way to support the the channel is grab something from the Wi-Fi store.

Speaker 21 But if you're going to buy merch, make sure you become a member on YouTube.

Speaker 11 YouTube members get 10% off everything in the Wi-Fi store. You get a new code every month, and it only costs three bucks.

Speaker 30 So if you're going to spend $40 on t-shirts, become a member, get the code, and it pays for itself.

Speaker 15 And look, if you want to cancel after one month, that's totally fine.

Speaker 11 The membership is not there to make me money, it's there to save you money. And besides, any money generated from memberships goes directly to my team.

Speaker 45 Those are the plugs, and I even snuck a new one in there.

Speaker 23 So, that's going to do it. Until next time, be safe, be kind, and know that you are appreciated.
