Tribe reacts to technology

So if American Planes can cause a primitive tribe to think that the Gods were visiting them, I wonder what really happened with the whole Jesus thing and walking on water and ascending into the heavens? Some people think it was extra terrestrials.

Wait...they have this incredible response to aircraft from the sky, but who the heck is running the camera filming them? Why no response to the cameraman? I guess this is just an odd recreation to try and get the point across, but it always makes me laugh when I see footage that shows some situation when the camera/operator are just supposed to be invisible.

HEhehehe Maybe The tribal guy is thinking big new metal bird how it taste...

Huh? There is a bamboo plane in the flick?
