Around 500,000 people have signed up to an online challenge to raid Area 51 and ‘see them aliens’. Storm Area 51: They Can’t Stop All Of Us hopes that strength in numbers will help reveal the truth behind Area 51’s secretive aura.
The online petition, widely seen as a joke, calls for thousands of people to gather at the gates of Area 51 on September 20th and then raid the facility, to finally uncover the truth.
Area 51 is a secure area located far out in the Nevada desert in the United States. The facility is under 24-h surveillance, and purportedly holds UFO wrecks and alien specimens.
In reality, the location is a testing ground for the development of new aircraft and military technology, according to official sources.
