What started off as a flippant joke has taken on a life of its own as people began to sign up to “Storm Area 51” in their hundreds of thousands, sharing memes and vowing to “check out those alien cheeks.”
The Facebook event now has 1.2 million people 'attending' the showdown, scheduled for September 20th, and even the U.S. military has come out to warn against it. “Area 51 is an open training range for the US Air Force, and we would discourage anyone from trying to come into the area where we train American armed forces,” Air Force spokeswoman Laura McAndrews said to The Washington Post. “The US Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets.”
Sounds ominous, doesn't it? The warning prompted one poster to reassure the government that they aren't serious, although they would say that, wouldn't they? “Hello US government, this is a joke, and I do not actually intend to go ahead with this plan,” they wrote. “I just thought it would be funny and get me some thumbsy uppies on the internet.”
Well, as you can see yourself from the list below, it has already succeeded in that respect! Scroll down to check some of the best memes and reactions, and let us know what you think in the comments!

GOING TO AREA 51? Be prepared…The YELLOW BOOK reveals the secrets of the ALIENS on EARTH and at Area 51! Bob Lazar used the YELLOW BOOK at AREA 51 to discover the secrets of the aliens! https://www.amazon.com/dp/1513632469
Area 51 is the common name of a highly classified United States Air Force (USAF) facility located within the Nevada Test and Training Range. Officially, the facility is called Homey Airport or Groom Lake, named after the salt flat situated next to its airfield.
Although details of the facility's operations are not publicly known, based on historical evidence, it is most likely a training range that supports the development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems. The USAF acquired the site in 1955, primarily for flight testing the Lockheed U-2 aircraft.

We now have an additional 60,000 signatures on a private network that are planning on attending. in addition to that they don't have enough military in the area to cover the square miles on the site. If we were to strategically establish the parameters there will be no problem inftrating the base

The intense secrecy surrounding the base has made it the frequent subject of conspiracy theories and a central component to unidentified flying object (UFO) folklore.
The base has never been declared a secret base, but all research and occurrences in Area 51 are Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information.
The CIA publicly acknowledged the existence of the base for the first time on 25 June 2013, following a Freedom of Information Act request filed in 2005, and they declassified documents detailing the history and purpose of Area 51.

Fun fact: 6 people were arrested 5 for tresspassing and one for public urination.
Area 51 is located in the southern portion of Nevada in the western United States, 83 miles (134 km) north-northwest of Las Vegas. The surrounding area is a popular tourist destination, including the small town of Rachel, Nevada on the "Extraterrestrial Highway".
The perimeter of the base is marked out by orange posts and patrolled by guards in white pickup trucks and camouflage fatigues. The guards are popularly referred to as “camo dudes” by enthusiasts. Signage around the base perimeter advises that deadly force is authorized against trespassers.
Technology is also heavily used to maintain the border of the base; this includes surveillance cameras and motion detectors. Some of these motion detectors are placed some distance away from the base on public land to notify guards of people approaching.

Seems unwise to post something like this 😕 If anything comes of this, I wish for there to be as little violence as possible, and ideally NONE. Also, everyone should be aware that the US government HAS apprehended people for suspecting people of being a threat to them over misunderstood jokes and idle statements, and this was BEFORE it was as easy as it is for our information to be monitored. I am laughing at most of these memes though, so don't worry ;p

If the Roswell incident is true..and the federal government tucked aliens and alien technology away at Area 51, does it not dawn on anyone that the military has had over 70 years to reverse engineer the alien technology and use it to make upgraded weapons. And y'all are going to storm it with pea shooters and spit balls in comparison. Yeah..let me know how that works for you....

To expand on what you said, far from covering up UFOs the CIA actively wrote magazine articles publicising UFO sightings in the 1950s, 60s and 70s because 'I saw an alien' drowned out 'I saw the new spy plane they've been flying out to Russia'
