Timothy Alberino traveled to the remote Peruvian Amazon village of San Antonio de Pintuyacu to investigate reports of terrifying encounters. He also provided villagers with food, medical supplies and surveillance equipment like night-vision goggles to document future incidents.
Villagers describe mysterious beings (called Pelacaras) that abduct people and remove their faces surgically. Recent sightings suggest technologically advanced entities – tall figures in black armored suits, wearing helmets with large lenses and gliding on hoverboard-like devices.
A girl named Talia narrowly escaped an attack involving a "laser syringe" device, leaving her face numbed. Other victims, including a boy with neck lacerations and a man temporarily paralyzed by an electrical weapon, reinforce fears of a real, physical threat.
Alberino speculates about a "breakaway civilization" with access to exotic technology or clandestine military operations, noting a joint U.S.-U.K.-South American military presence in the region.
Reports are emerging in Brazil, but authorities dismiss them as "miners with jetpacks." Alberino urges scrutiny, as villagers live in terror and demand government action. The mystery remains unsolved, blending folklore, advanced tech and potential covert human activity.

In a riveting interview on the "Health Ranger Report," Mike Adams sat down with renowned investigator and author Timothy Alberino to discuss the bizarre and unsettling occurrences in the Peruvian Amazon, particularly in the remote village of San Antonio de Pintuyacu. Known for his fearless exploration of the unknown, Alberino shared his recent expedition and the disturbing findings that have left both villagers and investigators in a state of shock and confusion. The saga began in mid-July when villagers in the Alto Nanay region of the Peruvian Amazon reported being terrorized by mysterious beings. These entities, described as tall and capable of floating above the ground, were impervious to shotgun blasts and equipped with advanced technology. Videos capturing the chaos went viral, showing villagers in a state of panic, firing into the jungle. Intrigued by the reports, Alberino organized an expedition to San Antonio de Pintuyacu. His two-day trip up the river, was not just an investigation but also a humanitarian mission. The author and researcher supplied the village with food, medical supplies and equipment like night vision goggles and thermal binoculars, hoping to empower the villagers to document any future encounters. The phenomenon is linked to a local legend known as the "Pelacaras," or "face peelers." This legend, which emerged in the early to mid-1980s, tells of beings that abduct villagers and leave them disfigured, often missing parts or all of their faces. Alberino recounted hearing about this legend during his time in the Amazon as a young man, noting that it has evolved over the decades. "This incident has to do with a particular legend in the jungle in the Amazon, both in the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon," Alberino said. "The face peeler legend pertains to unknown, mysterious beings who from time to time will invade villages and abduct certain individuals." "Those individuals will later be found without their faces. Either all of their face or part of their face will be gone." The recent incidents, however, suggest a more sinister and technologically advanced threat. Alberino interviewed villagers who described assailants dressed in black armored body suits, wearing helmets with large almond-shaped eye lenses. These beings, described as floating on large circular discs, were seen flying silently through the air, leaving behind only a burst of air upon takeoff.

The human element of the face peelers

While the technology suggests a non-human origin, Alberino entertained the possibility of a human element. The explorer and author speculated on the involvement of a "breakaway civilization," a group of nefarious individuals with access to exotic technology. This theory is supported by the presence of advanced aerospace vehicles, described as acorn-shaped craft with transparent fuselages and the ability to hover silently. (Related: Former intelligence official: US has at least a dozen alien spacecraft in its possession.) Alberino also mentioned a joint military operation involving the United States, the United Kingdom and several South American countries, raising questions about whether these forces are aware of, or even involved in, the mysterious activities. The operation, while not secret, adds a layer of complexity to the situation, suggesting a potential cover-up or a more profound conflict playing out in the Amazon. The most compelling evidence comes from the eyewitness testimonies of the villagers. Alberino recounted the harrowing experience of a young girl named Talia, who narrowly escaped an abduction attempt. Her assailants, equipped with a device resembling a laser syringe, attempted to cut her face off – leaving her with a numbing cream applied to her skin. Other encounters include a young boy who was rushed to the hospital with deep lacerations on his neck and a man named Pablo, who tackled one of the assailants and was subsequently knocked unconscious by a super-electrical device. These physical encounters, along with the consistent descriptions of the assailants, suggest that this is not merely a case of mass hysteria or delusion. Initially confined to the Peruvian Amazon, the phenomenon has now been reported in Brazil – indicating a potential spread of the threat. Alberino emphasized the urgency of the situation, noting that villagers are living in terror and demanding government intervention. The Peruvian press initially took the story seriously. However, it later shifted to a narrative of "miners with jetpacks" – a claim that Alberino and the villagers vehemently refute. As the investigation continues, Alberino urged caution and open-mindedness. The lack of concrete evidence such as thermal footage or clear images leaves room for skepticism, but the physical encounters and eyewitness accounts cannot be easily dismissed. The mystery of the "face peelers" in the Peruvian Amazon remains unsolved, a chilling reminder of the unknown that lurks in the world's most remote regions. As Alberino and his team continue their investigation, the world watches, hoping for answers to a phenomenon that defies easy explanation. For now, the Amazon remains a place of both beauty and terror, a testament to the enduring enigma of the planet.
