As the day of “Storm Area 51” arrived, a motley group of about 100 “alien-chasers” converged on the back gate of the secret site early Friday, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. At least two people were reportedly detained by local sheriff's deputies.
“Storm Area 51” became a viral phenomenon after a joke Facebook post in July urged people to crash the military base “to see them aliens.” Conspiracy theories surrounding extraterrestrials have long swirled around Area 51. Originally scheduled for 3 a.m. PDT Friday, “Storm Area 51” garnered global attention, as well as security concerns.
The Review-Journal reported that about a dozen officers were stationed at the gate on the outskirts of Rachel in Lincoln County, Nevada, and were joined by an officer with a police dog at 3 a.m. PDT. The mood was mostly lighthearted, according to the Review-Journal, as officers joked with the crowd. “The Final Countdown” blared out from a speaker brought to the gathering.
Images tweeted by Review-Journal journalist Mick Ackers showed one man wearing what appears to be a tinfoil hat and another in an astronaut costume. One attendee is pictured brandishing a North Korean flag.
The Associated Press reported that at least two people were detained at the gathering. Authorities said one person was arrested on a charge of public urination and another was detained early Friday.
Gerard Ramalho, a news anchor for News 3 Las Vegas, tweeted that a woman was detained when she tried to enter the restricted area. “One woman in her 20s tried to cross, but was detained,” he tweeted.

Full Title: 'Storm Area 51': About 100 people gathered at secret site’s gate to 'see them aliens,' 2 people detained, reports say
Klaatu Barada Nikto to you all!
My buddy is headed out there with his alien costume 2 five-gallon cans of gasoline (to sell to people who don’t know there’s NO fuel out there to be had) and his Traeger smoker to pass the time.
A Ma Deuce would be better, but I suppose that is too much to hope for.
Worldwide press coverage and 100 people show up?
and the MP’s were heard saying....”No soup for you!”
He’s gonna charge $25 a gallon for it, right
Did they try the Texas-Mexico border? Bet there are hundreds of aliens there.
LOL!!
This is exactly what I predicted. To draw an analogy, how many nerdy “Lord of the Rings” fans would actually show up to battle Sauron (for real)?
How many of the 100 were reporters ???
Probably out-numbered by reporters.
Many people in this country lack the mental ability to separate fact from fantasy and run and join every fad there is. And their vote counts same as mine.
I seen them aliens.
Looks like a Joe Biden campaign rally.
If the government were truly smart and flexible, they would have made a joke of it.
Set up a big tent that says “Welcome Aliens.” Offer lemonade to anyone who shows up, have people dressed as aliens or Star Trek characters walking around.
Would have made them all look like fools.
Was anybody selling strawberry ice-cream?
North Korean flag - no aliens there, either...
