Of course, I'm pretty sure that when the time comes to do it, only about 8 folks will show up (along with 57 reporters). And they'll be seriously bewildered as to why there are so many no-shows. The reporters will be laughing their heads off.
The best way to do this is to look at how Central Americans are organized when they come to the southern borders. For a while, we were getting roughly 50-100k per month. How were they able to travel with so many people, so far and so consistently? Well, they were organized to.

You literally have to have people recruiting people to get on buses to take them there to make sure that they'll show up.

Well, to be honest, what great strides have come recently in aircraft technology? The F35, which is the most advanced fighter plane in existence, doesnt hold a candle to most of the reported 'UFOs' in modern times, so Im not sure what they are actually working on in these places!


If you look at majority of modern UFO reports, some of the most commonly reported capabilities are the following, ability to hover in one place, with no engine noise, using some kind of cloaking technology that makes the craft nearly invisible to the naked eye, and ability to disrupt electronic and mechanical devices in the area...Have you seen any publicly known aircraft that can do any of these things?


The difference, in the past, when UFOs was used as a cover for experimental aircraft... the UFO reports coming in from the public directly corresponded to the aircrafts new tecchnology...that is NOT the case today though, its actually the total opposite, which suggests this is not the same thing going on today.

As I said before, when the government admitted the existence of Area 51 as a secret facility, it would have only been after they'd already moved TOP SECRET information to a yet-undisclosed facility.

I do agree with that, but apparently people still see strange things over Area 51 pretty regularly. (craft that defy the laws of physics), so I doubt they are experimental military craft!


However, maybe we are giving the Govt too much credit, common sense has rare in other things involving Govt/ military, whose to say they wouldnt store this stuff at the exact place everyone in the public assumes its stored at?!! LOL

It is tempting to want to know what some of the things the government does at Area 51. However, with those "This area is reserved for the military only"-type signs and associate people who legally-bound to limit what can be revealed, not sure how one can realistically find out some of the secrets.

People want to “see the aliens” and “they can’t stop us all.”


Let's see how many actually show up.


Also, its a federal facility, right? Do they really think the military is just going to let them in and wander around?


What the hell do they expect to find? Let's say there were aliens there (very, very unlikely). If the feds were going to let people in (which they are not), they would just move them. Do they really think they are going to go in there and shake hands with ET?


I would love to hear interviews of anyone who actually shows up to see how crazy they are.

Pretty sure the whole thing is one big joke that's just gathering steam from a bunch of people who simply ckick a button on their phone and become part of the joke.

But booking a flight out there and actually doing it? Doubtful.


Still...part of me wants to see the whole-thing live-streamed.....

It was a scene, man.
Most surveys/studies put the number of people who don't drink enough water somewhere around 75-80%. The desert is a really effective test for how hydrated you are.

Most surveys/studies put the number of people who do not meet either the aerobic or muscle-strengthening guidelines at 80%. A 15 mile hike across the desert is a really effective test for how out of shape you are.

So like I said, assuming at least 80% of the crowd dropping out of the planned "advance" within the first mile, and then figuring both continued attrition as the desert does its desert thing and simply the amount of time required to traverse the distance, I'd say maybe 3 vehicles and like half a dozen armed guards should be able to handle whichever proper athletes make it anywhere within 5 miles of a building on site, and really, they need to be "armed" with some bottled water and handcuffs, since they'll meet very little resistance by that point.

I'd say Area 51 doesn't have much to worry about, since an invasion of three toed sloths would be more threatening than one made up of the average American internet denizen.

What's funny is Area 51 is probably nothing more than a bunch of warehouses filled with old truck and airplane parts, and they use the fence and the mystique to simply give people something to believe makes the government seem powerful and crafty. I'd love it if a bunch of people actually made it to the buildings and found them all empty, totally innocuous warehouses. What an awesome revelation of government uselessness that would be.

I am sure nothing will happen but this is the type of talk makes Uncle Sam very nervous! At some point he would run out of bullets to fire at his own people (and more importantly the pawns willing to fire them...once they quit it's game over)
