Facebook-Driven Area 51 Storming May Be Countered With Force, Says US Air Force
https://deadline.com/2019/07/area-51-st ... 202646103/

Fun and games on Facebook may have serious consequences for the foolish. That was the message delivered by the US Air Force, who have responded to a Facebook’s group’s efforts to have 450,000 people storm a top secret military base.

Conspiracy theorists have always believed that Area 51 in Nevada holds information about extra-terrestrial activities on our planet, possibly including actual alien remains and aircraft. That belief spawned a Facebook group suggesting that a wave of humanity could overwhelm the defenses at the base and discover the truth.

More than 400,000 people have joined a Facebook event page calling for storming Area 51, with many more indicating interest. The proposed event is scheduled for Sept. 20.

“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.”
Naruto Run refers to the unique running style of the protagonist Naruto Ozumaki in the Japanese anime series Naruto, where he is often depicted sprinting with his hands behind him to decrease wind resistance.
The Washington Post on Friday asked how officials will deal with anyone showing up for the event. Air Force spokeswoman Laura McAndrews declined to elaborate on specific details of the military’s plans.

However, she did issue a warning.

“[Area 51] is an open training range for the US Air Force, and we would discourage anyone from trying to come into the area where we train American armed forces,” McAndrews said. “The US Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets.”

Personally I think this is dumb, and the US has a right to defend its facility from this possible gathering for national secuirty interests, and that this is an unessicary risk to prove nothing other than the wrath of Military Police.

I'd love to see the looks on their faces when they start getting buzzed by helicopters before they even get within a mile of the base.

It is a national secuirty risk and illegal to trespass on a military installation, the government needs to let people know violation of the law will be countered.

I mean, there are probably a couple of idiots who will end up on the news for Naruto running at Area 51 guards.

We live in a world where people are copycatting the dumb fuck who licked the carton of ice cream and returned it to the freezer at a store. I think you seriously underestimate the amount of stupid people in the world today.

I love it when people make fun of the government who takes all threats to national security and military installations seriously whether or not there real.

Yeah, but it's literally internet shit. Sure, there will likely be more than a thousand people who show up anyway, but like... does an internet thing really require action by the AIR FORCE?

They won't even get within five miles of the perimeter let alone the base itself.

Yawn. They already have intense security and a wide security cordon around the base. There's zero threat, here, and the statement was totally unneeded.

You send out a joke message, but you can't control who hears it. There are definitely some people who'll show up.

Kind of different. That was a petition. The government should pay attention to petitions, even satirical ones.
