Summary

Peruvian authorities attempt to calm a rural community by telling them they're not being harassed by aliens -- but by illegal gold miners who, for some reason, have jetpacks. When a newspaper in Marion County irritates a local restauranteur, she orders the police to raid the premises under false pretenses. Robotaxis breakdown, causing mayhem in San Francisco. Join Ben and Matt for all this and more in this week's strange news segment.
