UFO nutballs threaten to storm Area 51 to see the aliens Login/Join 
Wait, what?

I was sure that when I heard about this, it had to be linked to the Onion, or April had come early.

https://thehill.com/blogs/blog...-about-storming-area

Evidently, Facebook has it pegged at almost 1 million people interested in attending the “storming”. But will they actually force their way onto the base, or merely show up and have an alien themed Burning Man party?

Beyond the obvious lunacy of UFO enthusiasts, there is an obvious danger of monkey wrenchers doing serious mischief. What will the response be by the military if it really happens?

I have an open mind on the subject of UFOs, but this is a really bad idea by these nut jobs. I have seen pictures of the sign that says "use of lethal force authorized" around the perimeter of the site. I doubt it will come to that if they go through with this dumb plan. But I am sure they'll be ready with tear gas and rubber bullets.

The internet is to loons, as a bright light to insects. It draws them all, invariably. Big Grin


Just add Area 51 & a bunch of exposure, voila! (The folks committed to showing up)

Give it a try. Tell security there you are a “sovereign” citizen and see what happens!

I hope these fools actually try it. And I hope there are plenty of them live streaming the epic smack down that comes from Uncle Sam

I wonder how many agents of foreign governments are there in the hopes of getting a look at the secret projects being developed.

I haven't seen even one mention in the various media puffery on this story, about just how there's gonna be any kind of personal comfort/transportation/water/potties/etc that would make such possible.

That remote high desert area is hazardous enough just trying to drive thru without having all your BFFs expecting the lunch trucks to cater.

Anybody who thinks there's anything like that at Area 51 is a dink. Obviously there's gonna be some real neat shit there, like at any base, but I'm willing to bet a shiny Connecticut quarter that any alien shit has been moved elsewhere a looooong time ago.

The memes though, ung, choice. We are living in golden times, borthers.

I’m hoping the base uses something belt fed but a couple of buckshot blasts is probably all it would take. It’s all fun and games until lead starts to fly.
Water in NV is too precious of a commodity to waste on hooligans.

I’m a member of this awesome Facebook group. The whole thing is a hilarious joke btw. It’s probably the funniest stuff I’ve ever read, the posts are awesome.

There’s a 300 comment thread on if we should wear leather storming thongs when we “attack”.

It’s all for fun.

Exactly. It's basically just some folks on the internet blowing off steam and making funny images. It started on one of the oddball internet humor/trolling/shitposting sites, like 4chan or 9gag, and gained steam from there.

These are the same people who get together and flood internet polls to result in vessels being named "Boaty McBoatFace" and guns being named "Yeet Cannon". It's all for the ridiculous laughs.

There's no actual plan to break into Area 51. And they're not "UFO Nutballs" who really think they're going to storm a military base to find aliens. Just bored interweb denizens making up an excuse to be absurd.

If there are 1,000,000 people in the group, 950,000 will get the joke. 50,000 will show up.
