It's not an actual thing beyond a big in-joke. If anyone does actually show up, it will be something like the pizzagate gunman situation, where they have mental issues. Area 51 is so isolated [0] that a raid by any average person is pretty much impossible, they'll be stopped miles away from the facility. It's a long gravel road just to reach the restricted roads. [1] If you type for directions from Crystal Springs to Area 51 into Google Maps it'll also show the gravel road (and the street-view person also changes into a UFO haha)

- sarah180 7y agoYou didn't exactly say this, but Pizzagate was not a big joke. Like the Flat Earth Society, many of its originators may have thought of it as a joke or rhetorical exercise, but a lot of people got genuinely pulled into it.
- lonelappde 7y agoThe military compound won't be overrun, but local towns are bracing for an surge of idiots arriving the same day.
- caf 7y agoIdiots, it must be noted, who are expected to require food and lodging, provided at a reasonable price by the local towns.
- LandR 7y agoMan, you are not kidding! I didn't realise it was so far from anywhere and that looks fairly inhospitable terrain too.
- dredmorbius 7y agoThe hospitable terrain in the area is highly inhospitable.
