Half a million people signed up to storm Area 51. What happens if they actually show up?

A popular rest stop, the Area 51 Alien Center in Amrgosa Valley off Highway 93, features a restaurant, mini mart, picnic areas and a brothel — all with an alien theme.

Should everything go according to plan, more than half a million strangers will gather in a remote Nevada town in mid-September, united by a common goal: raid Area 51 in the wee hours of the morning - using a strength-in-numbers approach to reveal any extraterrestrial treasures stashed within the notoriously clandestine government base.

Or, put more simply, "Lets see them aliens."

By Friday evening, more than 540,000 people from around the world had signed up to attend the joke Facebook event: "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us," — and just as many had indicated they were "interested." Planned for Sept. 20 in Amargosa Valley, an hour's drive away from Las Vegas, the event page is currently filled with thousands of posts theorizing the best way to break into the top-secret facility.

I'll bet not more than 200 actually DO show up.

If they try to "storm" the area, I expect that effort to be met with sufficient force (by the troops assigned to protect the place) to repel any invasion.

 â€˜Ready to protect US & its assets’: Military warns 750k+ alien hunters NOT to storm Area 51
Published time: 14 Jul, 2019 01:35 Edited time: 14 Jul, 2019 07:02


With the number of UFO enthusiasts volunteering to raid Area 51 growing uncontrollably amid an avalanche of memes on Twitter, the Pentagon seems to be worried that some might actually show up to try and break ‘them aliens’ free.

The #Area51memes hashtag has gone viral on Twitter, indicating that the majority of the 750,000+ ‘going to’ and 700,000 ‘interested’ in staging a mass raid on the secretive US government base probably understand that the event planned for September 20 is just a joke.

However, the US Air Force apparently took the potential threat to the Nevada base seriously, with spokeswoman Laura McAndrews saying she would like to “discourage anyone from trying to come into the area where we train American armed forces.”

We've seen how well the United States protects its Southern border (which ain't sayin' much right now).

Let's see how well they defend "the border" at Area 51 against invasion.

250,000 Allegedly Plan to Storm Area 51. The Air Force Says No Way.

A stupid idea.
by Dario Leone

“Let’s see them aliens,” the event hosts wrote in an apparent effort to rally the troops.

According to Fox News, more than 250,000 people have signed up to attend a Facebook event planning a raid on Area 51 in southern Nevada to “see them aliens.”


The event, titled, “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us,” will see a group of alien hunters meeting at 3 a.m. on Sep. 20, 2019 near the top-secret U.S. Air Force (USAF) Base to coordinate a plan of attack to reveal the truth behind the curtain.

From there, the group will “Naruto run” with their arms stretched behind them like Naruto Uzumaki in the Japanese anime series “Naruto,” and therefore “move faster than their bullets.”The joke event is hosted by “S***posting cause im in shambles,” a page that posts memes, and SmyleeKun, a guy who streams video games on Twitch.

“move faster than their bullets.”

Maybe they will use something besides bullets to prevent illegal entry.

A few of these loaded with CS or pepper spray should do the trick....



Not much water to rinse that stuff off out there, either.

A truck load of water would sell well.

It is stupid, it is wacky, and it is all American. F**k Yes! Free the Aliens!
