"Storm Area 51" (Campaign To 'Raid' Area 51: Sept. 20, 2019)

We lived on the edge of the desert for a good number of years and made many a trip into it. It will kill you if you give it a chance, simple as that. September in southern Nevada will no doubt be brutal, and the people most likely to think they can accomplish something by "storming" a test site will be the ones most at risk. Traveling there, one is always just one bad decision away from serious trouble. I'm sure the local authorities are more concerned with preparing to rescue a lot of foolish people than with any "storming" they might do.
 
There's nothing special in Area 51, all the good stuff is in Area 51-A....
 
That is the impression I got, that Area 51 had gotten too well-known so most of the work is now done in a new location.
 
Or just over in Warehouse 13....

Seriously, yes. It's the desert in September, there is a two-lane road leading to the main gate, which is just the entrance to the property. There is no town or shop anywhere remotely near, and the land approaching on both sides of the road is private and fenced and posted. People are fantasizing on the scene from Independence Day of the long line of RV's approaching a huge gate. Those RV's would be trespassing to start with, so I doubt anyone in authority plans to have anyone storming even get near the facility.
 
Do they at least have a gift shop? In case you want a "I stormed Area 51 and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" souvenir.

They might end up with a t-shirt like this if they're not careful

I am the mother of someone that stormed Area 51, they havent found the body yet
 
I'm assuming that most of the ...er ...exotic... hardware is still at Wright-Paterson Air Force Base if it is in the hands of the USAF.
Watertown/Paradise Ranch/Dreamland/Groom Lake was and or is a CIA/Lockheed affair.

Whatever next? Will the Flat-Earthers announce that they are going to storm the edge of the world?

Be interesting if they did, and disappeared over the edge. And the last words we heard from them was 'we told you so'.

Or worse ... They'd all come back, claim they were unable to surmount the disc-encircling ice wall, and still say "We told you so" ... :doh: :roll:
 
A simulation of what would/could happen on the day:
Oh dear.

Yes, it looks to me like the more you try to chase down references to "aliens" or flying saucers at A-51, the more it looks like it's mostly the work of John Lear and his buddies, including Lazar. At least that's how it has always worked fo me. If Thuh Guvvimint does have such things in Ohio, then I'm sure they were happy to have those knuckleheads divert attention toward the desert stronghold of the CIA.

Of course, the Nevada desert is a much more logical place than Wright-Pat to test captured machinery or derivative US inventions, but would it live there? Would one expect to find Blackbirds still there? Oh, wait. I forgot about all those high speed underground tunnel trains and stuff.
 
While I was booking accommodation for the event I noted the following on the website for Timbers Lodging & Grill 2111 Windmill Circle, Alamo, NV 89001, USA•+1 775-725-3686:

On a related note, did anyone enjoy the computer game "lemmings"? I believe it had some sequels too.

Clinical depression can be a dangerous motivator, and en masse, anything could happen... Even change...
 
According to Peter Brookesmith in FT 383, the sex videos website PornHub found after this storm Area 51 idea went viral, searches on their site for "sex with aliens" increased 60,000% (!). Which places the motives of these would-be stormers into serious question.
