    Aliens sounds more believable than that

      Miners with jetpacks sounds like something straight out of a Commodore 64 game

      I was thinking the same thing. Even in Dubai they barely use them and now you’re telling me it’s a common commodity for illegal miners in Peru. Ya right.

        The miners are not Peruvian nationals. It takes a lot of capital to sneak into the Peruvian jungle and start mining.

        I’m a bit dubious about the jetpacks but the rest - that miners are trying to scare Indigenous locals - is legit, and it’s far from the first time this has happened.

        I’ve never even seen one in practical use in Dubai. The most I’ve seen are prototypes of lab designs.

      Commercial jetpacks are available for some time now, there are even jetpack attractions.
