Villagers in Peru are under reportedly being attacked by "face-eating aliens".

Reports of 'Los Pelacaras' or 'The Face Peelers' - said to be seven-foot tall - have been emerging from the small community of Loreto since July, according to La Republica. There is so much fear around the beasts that the Peruvian National Police and army have been called in to investigate.

"I have found him face to face, he hides his face. I've seen the whole body floating. He moves his arms, everything is normal," said one eyewitness. The witnesses, members of the Ikitu tribe, have been reporting these sightings since July 11.

In one terrifying encounter, a 15-year-old girl narrowly escaped with her life after allegedly being set upon by the 'alien'. "As a result of the struggle, they cut part of her neck," reported local community leader Jairo Reátegui Dávila.

Locals are so terrified they can't sleep and have set up their own community patrols in a bid to prevent an attack. Horrifying images show community members with bandaged heads. But now investigations may prove fruitless as the village is so remote it takes 10 hours to get there by riverboat.

"We need support for our community. The children do not sleep and the mothers stay up all night. They appear to be armored. I shot one of them twice and he wasn't injured, he rose and disappeared," Dávila said.

But while UFOologists say these sorts of reports are common in the Amazon, the local Peruvian villagers are taking the reports of the face-eating aliens seriously. Officials have yet to determine whether the reports are real, a part of folklore, or merely all a hoax.
