 I'm Darren Marlar and this is a Weird Darkness Bonus Byte. From the Daily Mail, terrified Peruvian villagers claim they are under attack from 7-foot-tall aliens dubbed face-peelers as they plead with authorities to send back up by Christeurs. Terrified villagers in a rural Peruvian district have claimed they have come under attack by 7-foot-tall aliens that they have dubbed Los Pelicaras or the face-peelers. Members of the Ikutu tribe from the San Antonio-native community have reported mysterious figures in dark, colored hoods attacking the villagers who live in the rural district of Altanane, northeast of Lima, Peru. After one such attack, a 15-year-old girl had to be taken to the hospital. According to the community leader Jairau Ratugi de Vila, the teenager narrowly escaped but, as a result of the struggle, they cut part of her neck. Now according to local media, members of the community are conducting night patrols to protect women, children and the more vulnerable villagers and have called on the authorities to send in the military. Some community members said they can't sleep because they are in fear. Locals described the extraterrestrials as having large heads and yellowish eyes and said the mysterious figures are immune to their hunting weapons. They claim they've attacked them every night for nearly a month since July 11th. Latina Dutosius, a Peruvian news outlet, quoted de Vila as saying he had come face-to-face with one of the so-called aliens. We have met almost face-to-face. His face is hardly visible. I have seen his whole body floating at a height of one meter, he said, suggesting the being was hovering. The group have now requested a military presence from the authorities. However, it reportedly takes a 10-hour river trip to reach the community of Aquitos City. We need support for our community. The children do not sleep and the mothers stay up all night, de Vila said. They appear to be armored. I shot one of them twice and he wasn't injured. He rose and disappeared. We're very frightened about what's happening here in our community. He added their shoes are round-shaped, which they use to float. Their heads are long, they wear a mask and their eyes are yellowish. They are experts at escaping. Some villagers described the aliens as being like pelakaris, strange beings from folklore that feast on human faces, fat, and organs. According to reports, the police reached the remote area on board a speeder vessel and toured the village perimeter, including the area where the teenager was allegedly attacked. It is unclear if the authorities found anything to corroborate the villagers' claims and if the government intends to deploy military personnel to the area for a sustained period of time to protect the villagers from the mysterious threat.
