Area 51: Threat to life for alien hunters wanting to storm base- Army issues stern warning

THE US Military has issued a strong warning in response to those planning on “storming” Area 51 - the top secret military base - in search of aliens.

A staggering ONE MILLION people have now joined a Facebook group encouraging people to descend on Area 51 to uncover any potential alien secrets. Area 51 has long been thought of by conspiracy theorists as a place where the US government is hiding intel on alien activity, and it all began when an apparent weather balloon crashed into the nearby town of Roswell in 1947. Many believed the weather balloon – the official stance by US authorities – was actually an extraterrestrial UFO, and the US government has been keeping alien secrets ever since.

Now however, the public is demanding answers and one million people and counting have signed up to a Facebook event called “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us”.

The sheer amount of people who have signed up to the event has caused the US army some concern, forcing them to issue a statement.

The base is heavily guarded, and is surrounded by signs which state ‘Use of Deadly Force is AUTHORIZED’.

Air Force spokesperson Laura McAndrews warned people to stay away in a strongly worded statement.

Ms Andrews said: “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.

“The US Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets”.

According to a description of the Facebook group, attendees will meet nearby and storm the top secret base on September 20.

The description reads: “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. Let’s see them aliens.”

Naruto is a reference to a popular Japanese anime character

While the event is obviously tongue-in-cheek, having been created by a group called ‘Sh**posting cause im in shambles’, the US army is taking the event seriously.

Some attendees have also failed to get the joke, warning people that they will be killed.

One Facebook user commented: “Apparently none of ya’ll understand military weapons. Also what makes you think there isn’t a contingency plan for things like this already in place?

“I know this is a joke but if you do actually pull this stunt you are actually either going to be responsible at best for the largest mass incarceration in history and at worst the largest suicide run.”

Another added: "Can someone go Facebook live so when y'all end up in jail or shot, we can see why no one has ever tried this."

Area 51 has been used by American aviation authorities since 1955 and is closed off to those without top-level security clearance.

However, the US Government did not even admit the base existed until 2013, in a series of documents released as part of a Freedom of Information request, and it is heavily protected by armed guards.

I wonder if any Darwin nominees will actually go through with it :lol:

The government needs to take a hard line stance on this. What happens if they are successful and decide their next target is like Andrew air force base or something?

I've been following this, its insane. Last I saw something like 1.5 million people had RSVPed to the event. If this actually happens people I think people are going to die. The military will have to respond and make an example.

Umm... yeah they will. I live 5 minutes away from a Naval base. It happens every several years around here, so I know the drill. Anti-nuclear treehuggers try to get on the base to protest every once in a while. If anyone tries to enter a US military installation without credentials or otherwise explicit written permission, and they can't be arrested and detained immediately without incident, then they're gonna get fucked up bad.

"Area 51" is actually a remote detachment of Edwards Air Force Base tasked with the creation and testing of military weapons technology. All parts of it require a top secret security clearance to access. And even if you have top secret security clearance, it's only on a particular part of a project. You can work on an aspect of building a project, but you can't see other work, nor can you see a demonstration. Or you can see a demonstration, but you can't see any of the work that goes on behind the scenes to get that project running. You can't roam freely on the base. It's all to prevent espionage.

It's sad. People can rally together and gain a million participants...to see if aliens are real.

Why not do that to take a stand against real issues?

They should live stream this event

A MAN was shot dead at Area 51 in January after he attempting to enter the top secret military base – something which should come as a huge warning as hundreds prepare to “storm” the base.

More than one million people have now signed up to a Facebook group encouraging people to descend on Area 51 in Nevada to uncover any potential alien secrets. The Facebook group in question is called “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us”, which states: “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. Let’s see them aliens.” The event is set to take place on September 20, but if previous attempts are anything to go by, the public should steer well clear of the military base.

On January 28, an unnamed man drove through a security checkpoint at Mercury, some 70 miles north of Las Vegas, as he attempted to get into Area 51.

A car chase quickly ensued for eight miles, when the suspect exited his car and approached Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) officers with a “cylindrical object” in hand, according to an NNSS statement.

The man failed to adhere to officers’ requests to stop, and was promptly shot dead at the scene.

The incident should be a stark warning to those planning on rushing Area 51, with US Air Force personnel warning that necessary force will be taken.

Air Force spokeswoman Laura McAndrews said: “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.

“The US Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its assets”.

However, organisers of the page have insisted the event is a joke, and have no plans on storming Area 51.

Facebook user Jackson Barnes wrote in the discussion page: “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. I’m not responsible if people decide to actually storm area 51.”

Area 51 has been used by American aviation authorities since 1955 and is closed off to those without top-level security clearance.

Oopsie..!

I wonder what the "cylindrical object" was. A thermos?

An Amazon Echo maybe? :-k


I mostly wanted to post this story for Lost to show him that they don't fuck around there and they will indeed shoot to kill if you don't heed their warnings.

[DemonGeminiX]

Oh I know. But still... what the hell was that cylindrical object? A toilet paper roll?

[DemonGeminiX]

The most fabulous object in the world?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

:-s

[Teh One Who Knocks]

From another story that was written right after the incident:


I’m sure you’re wondering the the same thing I am: what exactly was the “cylindrical object” the man was holding when he got out of his car? What would someone want to smuggle into the secretive research facility? The vague way the object has been described in both the press statement and news reports is rather curious. Was this an attempt at sabotage? A foreign intelligence operation gone wrong? Or did the man take a wrong turn fleeing Area 51 with some type of exotic alien material?

While it’s much more probable the object was an empty can of Icehouse or a flashlight, the lack of details released to the public so far leaves the imagination free to wander. Even if this happens to be a case of bad decision making due to mental illness or intoxication, it highlights the deadly seriousness of the many “No Trespassing” signs surrounding Area 51 and other secretive research sites in America’s deserts. No grainy cellphone photo of alleged alien technology or an experimental black triangular drone is worth risking your life.

But seriously: what was the mysterious “cylindrical object” the man was carrying? Why was he trying to get into such a heavily guarded facility? Does this have anything to do with the other Area 51-related revelation this week about secret ‘motherships’ possibly being tested at the site?

Area 51 raid a hoax :hand:

[Hal-9000]

In my mind...I see a long line of people with signs standing at a gate. Then I hear the BRRRRRRRRT from an A-10 and the people become this huge pile of mush...with signs.


:lol: Man that Gatling gun on the A-10's is a seven barrel, 30mm monster that fires the bullets at almost THREE TIMES THE SPEED OF SOUND :shock:

That means the dude beside you turns to mush and then you hear that horrible noise *

I've played three Call of Duty games that feature the plane and in one scenario you get to fire three types of ammo. It made that fart noise with the gatling gun so I looked up real videos on Youtube and was surprised to hear how accurate the dumb game was :lol:

Survivors of attacks from the A-10 say it's the most terrifying noise in the world :lol:

In the description the poster says the bullets move at approximately one kilometer per second...damn.

And from what I've read, they are really hard to shoot down without a direct hit. They can take all kinds of rifle/machine gun fire and stay in the air.

The A-10 is a beast. There might have been a 30mm Vulcan mounted on an APC I used to man in South Dakota.

Hsha... I said might have bas as I really cant remember for sure if it was a 30mm Vulcan. It was an automatic gatling gun. The other APC had a fully automatic 40mm grenade launcher.

That's awesome. When I was a kid we took a road trip down the Oregon/California coast and there was the most amazing store that just had nothing but hand made wooden elastic band guns. There were pistols, rifles, tommy guns, even a Gatling gun that cost a small fortune. I was in heaven. My parents bought my brother and I little pistols that you could load up with 6-8 elastic bands and fire pretty rapidly, and a bag of about 500 elastic bands each. They regretted that pretty quickly...

SWAT was a TV series in 1975 and I was nine years old. Our entire neighborhood gang was so far into the show we created different weapons based on each character and their role.

For being such a weapons pacifist in later life, I was the shizzle when it came to gun related play in the hood :lol:

THE Area 51 raid will go ahead on September 20, unless a list of demands from ‘truth seekers’ are met by the US government.

A Facebook group which has now garnered an astonishing two million attendees has encouraged users to “storm Area 51” on September 20 to uncover any potential alien secrets. The description reads: “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. Let’s see them aliens.” The event was initially treated as a joke, but the more attention it has received, the more serious it has become.

Now, a group of ‘truth seekers’ claim the raid will go ahead, unless a list of demands are met.

A man named Joe Macias who heads a group of “independent UFO research members based in Illinois” detailed what needs to be done to prevent almost two million people turning up to the top secret military base in Nevada.

Mr Macias said in an email to Express.co.uk: “We are dedicated to this event that has gained international attention, and we are determined by any means necessary to meet these demands.

“The principles of freedom which founded this country shall inform the American public of previously unknown truths.”

Mr Macias has given three demands, which state the “government and Area 51 military base acknowledge the existence of UFO spacecrafts and extraterrestrial aliens”.

The second demand is “that secret classified information about extraterrestrial aliens become available to the public to officially uncover alien conspiracies shrouded in mystery.”

Finally: “We demand that the government and Area 51 military base improve relations and establish an inhabitable co-existence with the public, extraterrestrial aliens, and the US government.”

Although the Facebook event is meant to be humorous, US military is not taking any chances in protecting the top secret base.

Well, I've been saying that this country needs a culling. 2 million isn't a bad start.

Maybe the government will meet the demands :-k

Here's an idea: what if there is no evidence and there never was?
