Aliens, you say? That’s not confirmed, but there’s plenty of other weird stuff going on at Area 51 in Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, even without aliens. Join me as I get to the bottom of what’s hiding at Area 51 and why<\/a> – the answers may surprise you!<\/p>\n

You gotta love a good Internet meme frenzy sometimes. Starting on Facebook on June 27th<\/sup>, 2019, a couple users created the Facebook event “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span>.” From there, the meme has taken on a life of its own. Over 1 million users have now confirmed their plans to participate, scheduled for September 20th<\/sup>. It’s a top tag on IMGUR<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span>. Twitter group Storm Area 51<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span> has 6K followers. Elon Musk<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span> has weighed in, which is the threshold for crazy ideas reaching critical mass on the Internet.<\/p>\n

The “plan” grows more ludicrous by the day, suggesting a line of participants be pumped up on energy drinks, and then everybody adopts the Leeroy Jenkins<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span> strategy at once, apparently. The original poster, Matty Roberts in California, has expressed regret<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span> at what he’s started now. It’s all fun and games until you realize some people take a joke too far. If you recall the Oregon standoff of 2016<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span>, this wouldn’t even be the first time US citizens have occupied government property.<\/p>\n

So What Would Really Happen If We Stormed Area 51?<\/b><\/p>\n

Most likely scenario, a bunch of people get arrested<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span>. We assure you, they have the US armed forces on their side, they most certainly can<\/i> “stop all of us.” Maybe we find out if the US government really has that neuralyzer<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/span>. One “red flashy thing” later, and a bunch of basement geeks are blinking in the Nevada desert sun wondering how they got there\u2026<\/p>\n

Now there’s supposed to be hotel rooms booked out there, so if you do drive out to it, I have the perfect first song for your mixtape:<\/p>\n
