Hope they crash and get nursed back to health by the indigenous people, undergo a spiritual awakening, and lead a violent uprising against the mining company.
Oh, it’s just miners with jetpacks… Wait, wtf?!

Miners are the last people in my mind that would use jetpacks. I mean, they’re usually deep underground, right?
Not when they’re harassing villagers obviously
I feel like underground mines are more and more a thing of thr past, I have seen many an operating surface mine but only old mines that were converted to attractions.
Aliens sounds more believable than that
Miners with jetpacks sounds like something straight out of a Commodore 64 game

You keep saying that like you expect us to believe you…
Not quite as fantastical as aliens, but miners with jetpacks sounds sci-fi as fuck.
Miners not minors!
(speaking of scifi…)
Great movie and a fantastic reference

I wish I was a flying miner pretending to be an alien so that I could harass villagers in Peru. That would be so awesome.
Rock and Stone!
RnD really outdid themselves with the new rocket boots.
It’s never aliens, unfortunately.
Aliens make more sense than ilegal miners flying in jetpacks.
I’m doubting either explanation in this case.
For the jetpack doubters (I was one too), someone posted this link on slashdot. Scroll down a bit and you’ll see a picture of a girl who snapped a picture on her phone of what is very clearly a guy in a jetpack of some kind. The theory is the miners use them to scout new locations to see if enough minerals are present to clear a road to them.

I think this might be the first time that the official explanation is less believable than the conspiracy.
The cops were watching Scooby Doo, and were like “Yes, lets go with that”.
I thought Vice.com went under.
