AREA 51, NV -- Hundreds of people gathered at the secret government facility area 51 in Nevada in hopes to see what was inside.
On September 20, hundreds of people went to attempt to break into the mysterious Area 51 located in Amargosa Valley, Nevada.
When they arrived, they did not get in but instead were met by the U.S Air Force. A tank was on scene and also a helicopter was called in to push the crowd out of the area.
The USAF put out a statement about what would happen if people showed and tried to enter the base.
"[Area 51] is an open training range for the U.S. Air Force, and we would discourage anyone from trying to come into the area where we train American armed forces. The U.S. Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets."
In hopes of the government not being able to "Stop All of Us" the group showed up to see extraterrestrial life but instead got a story to tell for the rest of their lives.
UPDATE: 1:00 p.m.
According to WFLA, one man has been arrested and one woman has been detained during the event.
The man was arrested for urinating on the fence and the woman has been detained for an unknown reason.

PermalinkBless all their free souls! The Alien Gods will rejoice! I hope this continues as tradition; if you plan it they will come. I will eventually make my way to the Storm Area 51 Party if it continues. I'm an Indiana Girl so I need time to plan; but believe I along with so many others will make it. As far as what is hiding in Area 51... it's a mystery we may only know when the end comes. But understand without the mystery this party would've never came to be. Maybe if we're lucky actual aliens will show up to the party one year.... you never know. Spirits are real...why not aliens!? Has anyone ever wondered what it would be like knowing what area 51 is harboring? I have, and if it's not some alien life force; well the mystery becomes nothing more than a very large under ground military base. BOORING....

PermalinkAnd to think, Al Gore invented this by wearing a green pair of pajamas to Jimmy Carters birthday party.

PermalinkUpon hearing that hundreds of snowflakes and disheveled millennials planned to storm into a "violators will be shot" zone, I should've known this venture was too good to be true -- and it was. This is a group of people who're frightened by things like obtaining driver's licenses and steady employment.
One and a half million signed up for the event, only a few hundred attended, and the most defiant act this collective circle jerk could produce was an act of public urination.
They hit social media with memes, posts about "storming" the facility. "They can't stop us all!", they shouted. Well, it's pretty difficult to stop people who never start much of anything, besides their mother's microwave.
Participation trophies for everyone. Back to your ''safe spaces'' kids.

Permalink... Why do I get the feeling that one of our putative allies would be snickering about this behind the scenes? Gotta love that "CLAP ALIEN CHEEKS" sign.

PermalinkIt was a joke. Of course people didn't show up. I signed up to go. AS A JOKE. I also bought an Area 51 Fun Run shirt because I thought it was funny. But you know where I was Friday? At work in San Angelo, laughing about it. Lighten up.
