Trolling the government at its best.
By Samantha Maffucci — Written on Jul 16, 2019

Though the government claims Area 51 is a U.S. Air Force facility, the American people know better. Subject to conspiracy theories about the area being connected to UFOs and aliens, it was only a matter of time before we grew curious about its true nature. Theories include the storage of UFO ship remnants and secret meetings with aliens, development of time travel. The government denies these claims. Because, of course.
Tourists are able to visit the Extraterrestrial Highway in Rachel, Nevada, miles outside the alleged Area 51 location. But if you’re actually interested in getting answers to whether or not aliens really exist at the facility, you may have your chance.
One Facebook user created the group “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us,” encouraging others to work together. The plan of action? “We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry. If we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Lets see them aliens.”
Of course, anybody with half a brain knows this is merely for fun, but the U.S. government had a response in a press release to The Washington Post: “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. The U.S. Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets.”
Hmmm, sounds like something someone would say in an effort to cover up secret government conspiracies...
A pinned post on the group reads: “Hello US government, this is a joke, and I do not actually intend to go ahead with this plan. I just thought it would be funny and get me some thumbsy uppies on the internet.” But for the people who understand it’s actually a joke, here are the 35 best Area 51 memes, courtesy of the internet.
