    A tribe never contacted by the modern world is spotted via helicopter ...

  2. It's amazing. Did you see the pictures of them aiming their bows and arrows at airplanes? Like something out of a movie.

    I saw that and understand why the government wants to "prove their existence." But think about what they might have done to these people, buzzing them like they did.

    Pretty fascinating. Shame that they had to expose the tribe to the helicopters.

    Leave 'em the fuck alone. They're far better off without knowing us.

    Unfortunately that probably won't happen and they'll all have iPods within two years.

    It's so fascinating that these groups still exist. Of course these photos getting worldwide internet distribution probably means the end for them is near.

    This truly is fascinating.

    I'd love to know what they're thinking when they see a 747 flying overhead at 35,000 feet.

    Ok you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?

    I really don't see the problem with this. They know something else's out there. They've seen the evidence, like rich said.

    I thought this, too. They must be freaking out.

    It's totally fascinating, though.

    I think to them 747s and even that helicopter are like UFOs to us.

    Imagine how world-changing it would be if a UFO landed and the aliens got out to talk to us. I think modern man intruding on these tribes is the same.
