Feds Warn UFO Enthusiasts Against Storming Area 51: The Military 'Stands Ready'
The Hill ^ | 07/14/19 | Aris Folley

 The Air Force gave a word of caution to the thousands of people planning to storm Area 51 in Nevada later this year, warning the UFO enthusiasts that the military “stands ready to protect America and its assets.”

Pressed by The Washington Post on Friday about how officials plan to respond to those who turn up to the Nevada base, Air Force spokeswoman Laura McAndrews declined to elaborate on specific details. 

However, she did issue a warning to those who may be serious about a plan to infiltrate the Nevada Air Force 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,” McAndrews told the paper.

“The U.S. Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets,” she added. 

Conspiracy theorists have long believed that the government holds secret information about extraterrestrial life at Area 51. They also allege that the area has been the site of frequent UFO sightings.

More than 400,000 people have signed up to “storm Area 51” through a Facebook event page. More than 450,000 others have indicated interest in the event.

“We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry,” the event description reads. “If we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Lets see them aliens.”

As of Saturday afternoon, the event remains scheduled to take place on Sept. 20 at Ar

How can they defend “51” and they can’t defend a border?

Good. Announce your plan well in advance and Mr. FBI will be glad to see that you all board the bus to the federal lockup located at Eglin AFB, or if you’re really, really lucky... Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

This reminds me of "7 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Outbreak Would Fail (Quickly)", part 1 and part 2.

#1: Weapons and the People Who Use Them.

Not that it will get that far. If this keeps up then the FBI will have to get some warrants and arrest people to stop it. Not only to stop a criminal act, but to keep people from getting themselves killed. Security at Area 51 is no a joke, trespassers have been shot and killed there.

They’ll mess with the GPS system and have the trespassers spiraling in circles.

“Good time for DARPA to try out some new toys.”

Why not? DARPA doesn’t work for us anyway, we just pay for their research. Sweet deal huh?

The FBI clowns don’t guard Area51. It’s the military and Wackenhut.

I was an Air Force Security Policeman (now called "Security Forces). Unlike the Marines (and the Army and Navy) this was all we trained for and the use of deadly force is very much an option because the protection of United States national defense resources is serious business. Most people that have made serious attempts to infiltrate United States Air Force installations have not lived to tell about it.

This sounds like a ploy by the Las Vegas Casinos to get some rich loser nerd types. Not to far after Burning Man. Trying to increase their numbers during a slow hot season?

A good time to try out that anti-riot equipment i’ve been reading about.
Those rays that either make their skin burn, poop their pants or vomit everywhere.

How about El Rushbo’s legendary “crap cannon”, the weapon that aims ELF energy at rioters’ midsections and causes them to become...incontinent?

If this keeps up I expect the FBI will arrest people to try to stop it. Partly because this is organizing a criminal attack on a U.S. military base, and party to keep people from getting killed. Even if they are idiots.

I don’t think this is entirely serious, personally, because anyone who really did manage to get a hundred thousand couch potato Internet geeks out to the Sonora Desert in July ought to be arrested for attempted murder. Nevertheless, they’ve already released classified information: the fact that you can naruto-run faster than bullets was Top Secret until now.

Just upload a software virus to disable all military weapons at Area 51.

Tell the 1 million invaders it is now safe to pursue Area 51.

The federal prison at Eglin closed years ago. I think it was after hurricane Opal.

Our Congress will shoot Americans dead for crossing a desert border,

but is afraid to shoot criminal foreign aliens jumping the southern Wall.

Perhaps an Area 51 Caravan is needed first.

"“If we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets”

/facepalm. Tells you everything you need to know.:

My millenial son just explained to me what a "narato run" is. That's funny (and pathetic) as hell.

Looks like they are not impressed. Do you disagree that they would not have attempted this on a marine base.

I am storming area 52! It’s better than area 51. I think roadrunner uses naruto run.
