:) I just saw this. The headline reads "'They can't stop all of us': Over 400,000 people planning to raid Area 51 all at once". By Aris Folley - 07/12/19 12:54 PM
This would be something to see. From a good distance. LOL :o Since they have made this intention public, you can bet area 51's security will be stacked up, waiting for a crowd. I can't believe this one! :o I doubt this will even happen.
"More than 440,000 UFO enthusiasts signed up to "storm Area 51" through a Facebook event in efforts to "see them aliens." As of Friday afternoon, the event, titled Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us, has over 442,000 people signed up to attend. More than 450,000 others have also indicated interest in the event." https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/452819-they-cant-stop-all-of-us-over-400000-people-plan-to-raid-area
If they do attempt to carry this out. Maybe we can get a close-up report from A51Watcher. What do you think A51? Is that a possibility or no? I wonder if he's there now! It sounds like it is going down today! :o
I had to look elsewhere, I don't do Facebook, but I found a date for this event....."A Facebook user by the name of SmyleeKun and the group "Shitposting cause im in shambles" created the event, titled Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us. The event is set to take place on September 20, 2019 at 3am. Attendees will meet at the Area 51 Alien Center in Amargosa Valley, Nevada before proceeding to Area 51 itself.
At 3am, :o this will probably add to the possibility of mishaps occurring. Oh my!
It will be interesting to see what transpires at this happening (IF IT HAPPENS). lol Judging by the name of the people/group putting this on "SmyleeKun and the group "Shitposting cause im in shambles" I'm made to question its legitimacy. lol ;)
I can't wait to see if anything actually happens with this! :o

Feds Warn Alien Seekers Not To Try Their Luck At Area 51
More than half a million Facebook users have signed up to besiege the Nevada site to "see them aliens."
By Amy Russo
More than half a million Facebook users have signed up to storm Area 51 to "see them aliens" at the U.S. Air Force base in southern Nevada that's long been shrouded in mystery for those who believe it's a holding site for otherworldly creatures.
It all may be a joke or a lark for many of the supposed UFO seekers. But federal officials aren't laughing about the possibility of people actually showing up at the highly classified military base, which is a remote detachment of California's Edwards Air Force Base.
An event page called "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us" had garnered nearly 670,000 recruits as of Saturday. Almost 620,000 others have indicated they're "interested."
The purported raid is set for Sept. 20 between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m., with the "details" section noting, "If we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets." The reference is to Naruto Uzumaki, a Japanese manga character who appeared to run at the speed of light while leaning forward and stretching his arms behind his back.
According to ComicBook.com, a news site covering comics, TV shows and movies, a social media user who goes by the name "SmyleeKun" and who devised the Facebook page is "best known for posting memes and streaming to fans on Twitch," a live streaming platform used by gamers.
In other words, it's almost certainly a prank. But it's also caught the attention of the Defense Department.
Air Force spokeswoman Laura McAndrews, in comments to The Washington Post on Friday, warned anyone seriously intending to follow through with storming the site to think twice.
″[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," she said. "The U.S. Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets."
Though the government had denied the existence of Area 51 for years, in 2013 the CIA acknowledged it as real. However, it has only been described as an aviation test site.

Crowd of UFO fans seeking to 'raid Area 51' hits 1 MILLION despite US Air Force warningQuote"We can move faster than their bullets," the creators of the intentionally farcical event claim. But with over a million alien fans now registered as 'going' – and nearly the same number in reserve, just 'interested' in the raid – the US Air Force could find itself facing off against an unprecedented number of unarmed individuals.

Even the military is no match for human stupidity... they had best scrub & abandon it ASAP. I suspect we will see a display of new psychotronic weapons used against the crowds if this comes to pass, likely not bullets.
I have the strangest feeling about this build up.
Perhaps the same people behind the border invasions
are behind this? Seriously, people should know better
than to mess with this....
But it seems people have lost their collective minds.
I doubt this will gather the numbers they have now, the time until the event happens is long enough for people to forget about it and at the next Internet case.

this will either fizzle out with the majority of those signed up never showing up, the military will deploy a couple of armored divisions, or go into defcon one total lockdown with all the hatches battened down...

'Highly discouraged': Air Force responds to plans to 'storm Area 51' and 'see them aliens'
Ryan W. Miller 4 hrs ago
As more than a million people on Facebook say they're attending a joke event to "storm Area 51," the U.S. military has responded to the plans — just in case they actually do.
Air Force spokeswoman Laura McAndrews told the Washington Post that military officials were aware of the event that aims to uncover the alleged conspiratorial secrets of the military installation in Nevada.
McAndrews didn't specify to the newspaper any security plans at the base, but did issue a warning.
"[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," she said. "The U.S. Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets."
Are we alone?: People are signing up for Facebook event to 'storm' Area 51 and 'see them aliens'
Speaking with NPR, an unnamed Air Force spokesperson said, "Any attempt to illegally access the area is highly discouraged."
USA TODAY has reached out to the Air Force for comment.
The military's response comes after about 1.2 million people responded to the satirical event as "going." The Facebook event, which is scheduled for September 20 from 3 to 6 a.m., says that it aims to "see them aliens."
"If we [N]aruto run, we can move faster than their bullets," the event description says, making a humorous reference to a Japanese manga character known for running with his arms stretched out backward and his head forward.
Area 51, part of the larger Nevada Test and Training Range at Nellis Air Force Base, has been the subject of many conspiracy theories alleging the U.S. military is housing secrets concerning aliens and UFOs.
The Nevada Test and Training Range "provides the warfighter a flexible, realistic and multidimensional battle-space to conduct testing tactics development, and advanced training in support of U.S. national interests," the Air Force states on its website.
The Facebook event page, which has an additional million users "interested" in the event, has sparked many memes and jokes about how the plans to raid Area 51 might unfold.
However, one Facebook user, who posted a humorous map of the area that features lines of "Naruto runners," "rock throwers" and "Kyles" to storm the area, hedged his plans with a message for the military:
"Hello US government, this is a joke, and I do not actually intend to go ahead with this plan. I just thought it would be funny and get me some thumbsy uppies on the internet."

I added the group on Facebook out of sheer curiosity about a week or so ago and honestly it seems like a large majority of these people know its a joke, its the lesser intelligent quotient of people that concern me. here is my real question, do you really think that the US government would actually attack the [now] 2.4 MILLION attendees if everyone listed as "going" actually attended? that would start another world war and i doubt it would end well for our government. hopefully the people who think they can get away with this will heed the warnings and not go.
The problem is that even if the less intelligent that will try to go to the end are just 0.1% that means some thousands of people, so the possibility of things end badly to some get bigger and bigger as time goes by and this case keeps appearing on the news, as I'm sure that when this stops being news most people will forget about it.

I haven't been to FB of late, try to avoid it as much as possible, but anything from there does not surprise me in the least. I do think that most people are intelligent enough to avoid this mess, but there will be a percentage that will be bound and determined to invade Area 51, come hell or high water...
Considering the target date for this "event" is still 64 days away, Let us hope it dies out and fades away, but in any case, there will be plenty of time for the govt/military to make plans and put extra security in place, just in case 8)
Either way it has the potential to end badly if things go wrong, but I would also surmise that, in 64 days' time, that there may not be anything that could be seen left at the site; the vast majority is underground to begin with and can be locked down tight.

Meet the guy behind the 'Area 51' page. He's terrified of what he's created
By Ryan Prior, CNN 7 hrs ago
It's all fun and games until you accidentally incite a giant mob to raid a top-secret military base.
The internet has been buzzing with excitement about a Facebook event entitled, "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us," with 1.6 million people having clicked "Going" and another 1.2 million have indicating they're "Interested" on the event page.
Hitherto cloaked in mystery, the man behind the legend has stepped forward.
On June 27, Matty Roberts, who lives in California, created the Facebook page as a joke, not realizing that millions would rally behind his battle cry to "see them aliens" at the Air Force facility in Nevada.
Most, but not all, knew the desert congregation scheduled for September 20 was in jest, as the page included instructions such as "If we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Let's see them aliens." (For the uninitiated, "naruto run" is a reference to a type of running in a popular anime show.)
The creator is afraid the FBI may knock on his door
"I waited for like three days and there were like 40 people and then it just completely took off out of nowhere," he told CNN affiliate KLAS-TV in Las Vegas. "It was pretty wild."
Roberts told KLAS he'd declined interviews as interest was skyrocketing because he thought if he revealed his identity he might have FBI agents showing up at his door.
"I was just like, the FBI's going to show up at my house and it got a little spooky from there," he said.
Roberts said he came up with the idea for the meme page after podcaster Joe Rogan interviewed Area 51 whistleblower Bob Lazar and filmmaker Jeremy Corbell. Lazar claims that he worked with an alien spacecraft while he was employed in one of Area 51's underground facilities.
Before coming out to KLAS, Roberts communicated with NPR via Facebook messenger under the pseudonym Val.
"I just thought it would be a funny idea for the meme page," he wrote.
Roberts/Val also said that, although he doubted he'd have an actual army gathered to run into Area 51 this September, he'd been in touch "with some pretty great people" to plan a safer, yet still out-of-this-world desert event.
For its part, the Air Force told the Washington Post that 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."
CNN has also reached out to Roberts to talk more about his online sensation and how he might wield his newfound following. We'll let you know when we make first contact.
As soon as those 'participants' find out that their cell phones, GPS, CB radios, tablets, etc. do not operate as expected [read: BLOCKED] and the LRAD powers up and sends a couple non-lethal bursts downrange engaging them invaders, those snowflakes will scatter like cockroaches under a bright light.
Of course, IF they're allowed anywhere near any type of road.

'Storm Area 51' Founder Pulls Out Of 'Alien Stock,' Fears Another Fyre Festival
Matty Roberts says he's no longer participating in the possible music festival, citing "poor planning," among other things.
By David Moye
Talk about alienation of affection: The organizer of a raid on Area 51 planned for later this month now says he is pulling out of a music festival associated with the event.
In July, Matty Roberts semi-jokingly proposed a storming of the gates at Area 51, the Nevada military facility that supposedly contains the secrets to extraterrestrial visits to Earth.
After some 2 million people signed up for the event ― now known as "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All Of Us" ― Roberts and others decided to put together a music festival in nearby Rachel, Nevada, population 54. It would be called, appropriately enough, "Alien Stock," according to Las Vegas TV station KSNV TV.
Roberts hoped Alien Stock would turn his jokey and potentially dangerous idea of raiding a military facility into something positive. But the festival received UFOs ― unusually fiery objections ― from residents of Rachel, who feared the town wouldn't be able to handle hordes of alien seekers.
On Monday, Roberts said he is pulling out of Alien Stock, citing a "lack of infrastructure, poor planning, risk management and blatant disregard for the safety of the expected 10,000+ AlienStock attendees."
In a statement given to KSHV, Roberts said Connie West, the owner of the festival permit, refused to provide him and his partners with "the proof that things expected at this festival were in place. In fact, she refused to provide to us, as agreed upon, contracts, proof of deposits or any paper proof of anything."
Roberts said Alien Stock is moving to a safe, clean, secure area in downtown Las Vegas because he foresees "a possible humanitarian disaster in the works."
He said he is not interested in creating "a FyreFest 2.0," a reference to the much-maligned 2017 music festival that left attendees stranded and provided enough heinous and hilarious material for a documentary on Hulu and another one on Netflix.
HuffPost reached out to West at her business, the E.T.-themed Little A'Le'Inn hotel, but she did not immediately respond. The person who answered the phone said Alien Stock is going ahead even without Roberts.
West told Las Vegas station KVVU she will "do [the festival] the way I know how and what I've been planning for because I know no other way to do it. But it's still happening."
"I'm sad and I'm brokenhearted, but at the same time, it is what it is," she went on. "If he chooses to go somewhere else, that's his choice. I'm still having a party because people are still coming to Rachel."
Meanwhile, a post on the town page for Rachel also mentions Fyre Festival and says it's probably for the best if Alien Stock doesn't end up happening.
The website also not-so-subtly suggests that visitors avoid their fair town:
If any event still happens it is going to be a pretty sad affair with no bands, very little infrastructure and a lot of unhappy campers. Instead of coming out to Rachel to storm Area 51 why not enjoy the party at one of the Area 51 Events in Las Vegas?
The "Storm Area 51" event had been planned for Sept. 20. Roberts did not immediately respond to a question from HuffPost about whether the actual raid is still happening.
