Is something mysterious hiding in plain sight?
In the heart of rural Peru, a chilling legend has re-emerged with terrifying real-world implications. Reports have surfaced from an isolated indigenous community claiming they are under assault—by what they believe to be extraterrestrial beings.
Timothy Alberino recently discussed with Shawn Ryan how this village and the terror of the “face peeler” aliens isn’t just a myth, but a real-life situation for many there. Alberino himself made his way to talk to people who have encountered these horrifying beings for a first-hand account. The story, both bizarre and unnerving, intersects with ancient mythology, military operations and questions about forbidden knowledge kept hidden from the public eye.

“When I encountered Talia… she was trembling uncontrollably,” Alberino recounts. “Our hearts broke for this girl. Obviously, severe PTSD.” Talia shared a harrowing experience from one evening in July 2023. As she attempted to knock fruit from a tree in her backyard to make a drink, the sun began to set—and with nightfall came terror. “The incursions only happened after dark,” he said.
This incident is not isolated. Multiple villagers have reported similar encounters that date back to the 1980s. “Some of them thought the face peelers were extraterrestrials… Others believe they were gringos harvesting organs.”
While these claims may sound far-fetched, they coincided with a major U.S. military operation in the region. “There was a joint military operation happening in Peru. It was called Resolute Sentinel,” Alberino explains. “It involved the Air Force. It involved the Marines. It involved Space Force.” The implication? What the villagers saw may not be supernatural at all—but instead, an unintended consequence of classified military activity.
Not only could the reality of these “face peeler” aliens be the sign of something much more sinister, but Alberino also noted the secrecy of elites in regards to underground bunkers and what the government may be preparing for next.
“If we are preparing for a nuclear strike, we would build underground bases and connect them [with] some kind of a rail system,” Alberino says. “You’ve got to be way high up into these organizations before they start to transmit this information to you,” he explains.
