The internet is known for its power to unite people by the causes they believe in. The worst part is – some of the causes are borderline ridiculous. One of them is the infamous viral sensation “Storm Area 51 – They Can’t Stop All of Us” which was started on Facebook. The seemingly innocent event intended to be a joke spiraled out of control when 2 million people RSVP’ed and put government officials on their toes.

Ever since it was created on June 27, many of us have wondered what would happen on the designated day -the 20th of September.

This Friday, alien enthusiasts gathered at the heavily guarded entrance of Area 51. The base has been surrounded by many rumors of hiding secrets related to extraterrestrial life. So people were determined to just ‘see them aliens’.

However, those who really hoped for some action will be disappointed. It seems like most of the crowd showed up just to see how the event will unfold, instead of being ready to invade the base.

“They’re just here to see what’s going on. They’re here to have fun,” said Sergeant Orlando Guerra of the Nevada Department of Public Safety Investigation Division.

We are not going to lie, the crowd is probably as odd as the aliens themselves. Covered in tin foil hats and strange attire, these people brought signs demanding the E.T. be freed from the government’s captivity. And of course, there were some who just had to try to go past the gate. However, with the base being loaded with military personnel, their sneaky attempts failed.
