Tiny Nevada town near secretive Area 51 braces for alien hunters

Connie West, co-owner of an alien-themed motel in the tiny U.S. desert outpost of Rachel, Nevada, believes they are coming no matter what. Not aliens, but alien hunters.

A whimsical invitation on Facebook has urged UFO enthusiasts to gather on Sept. 20 and “storm” nearby Area 51, a U.S. military base long rumored to house extraterrestrials and spaceships. More than 2 million Facebook users have said they plan to go.

Residents of Rachel, a 150-mile (240-km) drive from Las Vegas and home to roughly 50 people, are split on how to respond. Some sternly warn the public to stay away, fearing large crowds will overwhelm a town with no gas station or grocery store. Others, including West, believe the best course is to welcome them with a music festival dubbed Alienstock.

Looks like a bigger crowd than Joe Biden can draw.

Maybe he can show up and talk about some of his alien encounters.

The Air Force is still ticked off that these guys revealed that Naruto running allows you to outrun bullets. That sort of stuff is supposed to be classified.

40,000 urban nuggets traipsing across the Sonora desert with empty water bottles. What could possibly go wrong?

They have resumed testing at Area 51. If these fools bum rush the place they’ll get their asses handed to them.

I remember those signs when the wife and I did a several week round-robin trip out West. We learned real quick to top off the tank every chance we got. We REALLY felt small when, one night, we crested the top of a mountain and out below us was a huge plain stretching out forever...and there were NO lights visible from our vantage point.

So....they’re back.

Those alien hunters are here again.

Hunting for humans and Pop Tarts.

The fiends.

I’ve got a little surprise for them.....Brown Sugar Pop Tarts.

Yeah....one bite of those and they’ll be going Warp eleventyseven to get back to Baltimore or wherever they’re from.

Looks like a great spot for someone to set up a temporary gas station and rest stop. You could get very rich selling $10 a gallon gas and $5 water.

HAVE they resumed testing there?

The thing that’s puzzled me ever since this “Area 51 invasion” thing got started is that the government publicly announced a few years ago that Area 51 was being downgraded and other bases would be taking on its functions.

Then again, I don’t imagine wackos pay much attention to the news. I’ve been to DU.

Yes, that's the way it is on the Calif/Nevada border. Lots of areas around here like that.

"No gas next 150 miles"

That depends on whether you had their chili.

Don’t use Facebook, did this all start out as a joke? I can visualize many drones armed with teargas spraying the ‘invaders’.

“HAVE they resumed testing there?”

I was listening to someones podcast that said a NOTAM has been issued from the ground to unlimited altitude for that area. That can be checked with the FAA.
