Area 51

[pectacon]

What do you think will really happen with this stupid Storm Area 51 thing?

If you haven't heard, someone started an event on Facebook saying let's go to Nevada and storm Area 51 and see what's in there. Over a million users have said they're going. The whole event I'm assuming (hoping) is a joke and probably most of those people agreed as a joke but you know there will be a few who take it seriously.

I think it will amount to a few dozen morons standing around in the sun with their phones out waiting to film while absolutely nothing happens...

I just heard about this on "The Talk".  Do they think that the government will actually let them anywhere near Area 51?  I don't think so.  It is a ridiculous idea.

I heard about this on the news.  Apparently, the silliness on Facebook is getting a lot of attention.  The people on the news are warning that this could be a dangerous situation for anyone who takes it seriously.

Well I can't wait to see what's going to happen to the people who try.

Good maybe we can eliminate a few million stupid people all at once.

With CHUMP as President anything is possible!

Totally insane, just another hoax. People are crazy.

Nothing, it's just a meme.   It's funny though on Twitter, people are posting pictures of them & their alien, or how they are going to go get them aliens, they draw maps with their troops.  It's all in good fun.... the funniest one I saw was one of Bernie Sanders saying let's go get those aliens healthcare.   Some of them gave me a laugh.

I don't think anyone truly is taking it serious, just looks like comedy... it's a military base out in the middle of the desert so I don't think they'll make it if they actually try.

I think it is mostly a joke. I have read comments on the event page though and there a few people I think that seriously want to do it.

Area 51, I believe is where we test and develop new aircraft so no I don't think the government would allow these people to enter.

It is good for comedy as a few people have observed. It will fizzle out and fail, but in the meanwhile the police/military will have to remain on alert just in case and will likely have an increased presence there - which will detract from their real responsibilities elsewhere. It will ultimately serve as a complete waste of time and taxpayer money because of the collective's "hold my beer" mentality.

I have not seen this on facebook, does not sound like a good idea to me.

So very true.
