Over the last week , a new Internet meme has taken off .
Someone on Facebook thought ( correctly ) that it would be a funny idea to create an issue inviting everyone to cumulate together on one day and storm Area 51 . Unless you have been hold up in an hole-and-corner military facility for the past 70 years , you probably bang about Area 51 . It is a highly classified part of the Edwards Air Force Base in Lincoln County , Nevada . According to conspiracy theorists , it is a adroitness where they store alien or exotic spacecraft recovered during the " Roswell incident " , or just a plaza where outlander are study in hidden , away from the rest of the world .
The tricker ’s mind is simple-minded :
" We will all run into up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and organize our entry , " theFacebook event articulate . " If we naruto run , " – lean over with your arms behind you like a character reference name Naruto in an anime picture – " we can move quicker than their bullets . allow ’s see them aliens . "
It charter off in a giving way , and now over 1 million people say they are attending the event on September 20 . hoi polloi , it is fair to say , are quite into it .
It ’s unlikely that anyone but the most esurient net memesters will even derive tight to show up to an actual military base in an attempt to see the alien . But just in case it is real ( it is n’t , nobody will actually show up , permit alone attempt to run at the fundament whilst fall upon an anime pose ) the US war machine has felt the need to respond pre - emptively with a warning .
Air Force interpreter Laura McAndrews give up a message to the great unwashed thinking of in reality sin in September .
“ [ Area 51 ] is an open training range for the US Air Force , " she said in a sacking escort bythe Independent . " We would warn anyone from trying to add up into the area where we train American armed forces , " she continue , casually cue any reader that there are plausibly quite a set of gun for hire on site .
“ The US Air Force always stands ready to protect America and its asset . "
net alien hunters , consider yourselves officiallythreatenedwarned .
