In the middle of the Nevada desert, there is a dusty and barren road that leads to the front gates of a remote facility known commonly as Area 51. This top-secret military base has long been a favorite for conspiracy theorists all over the world, with many people speculating covered-up government work and intel on UFOs and out-of-space weapons.
However, its popularity has peaked in the last couple of months after the "Let's storm Area 51" Facebook group got way out of hand, with millions of people signing up to the pledge to "see them aliens."
However, since news of the plan spread like wildfire, and more and more people began vowing to storm the facility, the U.S. Air Force has been forced to issue a "stern" warning to those who are brave enough to embark on this quest to hunt down aliens. Keep scrolling to see what they had to say...
Our solar system is a mysterious place.
Conspiracy theorists have, for years now, been trying to crack the code of the universe and to discover whether there are any other forms of life out there.The existence of aliens has been speculated for years.
Because come on. The universe is so vast that there's no way that we have it all to ourselves.Though there are some people who are certain of the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
From the Great Pyramid of Giza to the lost city of Atlantis, there are many different mysteries of the world that enthusiastic conspiracy theorists have put down as evidence of alien activity. Though, quite understandably, they are often dismissed as being completely bonkers.And some believe that our government knows more about aliens than they are letting on...
Many conspiracy theorists have long claimed that the U.S. government has a much larger involvement in the hunt for extraterrestrial life than they let us believe.There's one area in particular that grabs their attention...
So, what exactly is Area 51?
It is a notoriously classified compound.
Like any top-secret military facility, few people are allowed to enter the premises, which spurred more suspicion over what goes in within the compound. The borders of Area 51 are not fenced but are marked with orange poles and warning signs which state that security is authorized to use deadly force on people who insist on trespassing. Yikes.And, as a result, many rumors about the compound's activities have been circulated.
Though the military, of course, attempted to put these rumors to bed.
People remained suspicious, however.
Because we've never really trusted our government, have we? The speculations continued, with some people making outlandish claims that the facility was building and repairing crashed alien spacecraft rather than military planes.And some people have even claimed to have been inside the facility.
Though, of course, the government swiftly put his allegations to bed.
But now, more people are attempting to access the facility than ever before.
And one group has taken things to a whole new level...
Clearly bored of discussing alien conspiracy theories over the internet in their basements, a group of extraterrestrial enthusiasts formulated an actual, real-life plan to find out the truth once and for all.The plan was to break into Area 51.
Though storming a top-secret government facility, which may or may not be riddled with aliens, is probably a lot easier said than done.It started with a Facebook group.
And, believe it or not, millions of people signed up.
1.5 million people put that they were "interested" on the event's page, while over 2 million people vowed to actually attend the movement for alien liberation.Their inter-planetary war was rigorously organized.
The break-in was carefully plotted out...
Because gaining access to one of the most secretive facilities in the world ain't no walk in the park. The last time that someone tried to speed past the site, he was shot. In January, a man carrying an unidentified cylindrical object was shot by the local sheriff’s office after attempting to drive into the site. Though, hopefully, their "Naruto running" would solve the problem of flying bullets.A strict plan of action was drawn out...
The warriors were split into 3 groups.
There were rock throwers, Naruto runners and "Kyles" (a team of buff, slightly emo teenagers who frequently kick in drywall). As for the other couple of million people? Well, I'm sure that they'd enjoy watching the festivities unfold from the sidelines.The other members were quick to share their military expertise.
One member wrote: "Get the aliens on your side and you might have a chance with some “inside support" like sabotaging the guns," while another commented, "We use the rock throwers and naruto runners to distract them and the rest of us go underground."And some people online are taking it all very seriously.
Storming #Area51 would be irresponsible, illegal and potentially dangerous. Besides, once a secret base is routinel… https://t.co/g3h1gmaiF3— Nick Pope (@Nick Pope)1562796111.0
Most people found the funny side, however.
This is getting so ridiculous and I love it. 😂😂😂 #StormArea51 #Area51 #Aliens 👽 https://t.co/1UzZMl3Z6l— Traumahawk (@Traumahawk)1562587012.0
