One million people clicked “Going” in response to a Facebook event page called “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us,” set up to organize a Sept. 20 raid on a US Air Force in Amargosa Valley, Nevada that’s a decades-old focal point of alien conspiracy theories. Attendees are vowing to go “see them aliens,” but a spokesperson for the Air Force told the Washington Post it is aware of the faux mass invasion of its base and “discouraged anyone from trying to come into the area where we train American armed forces.”
According to Vox, anonymous administrators of the public meme page “Shitposting cause im in shambles” teamed up with a Twitch video game streamer named SmyleeKun early in the week of July 1, to organize the event. Fake events on Facebook have taken off as a prankish form of internet humor in the last five years, including Limp Bizkit concerts in Detroit and Smash Mouth in Tulsa. But the Area 51 raid’s stats may prove it as the internet’s funniest joke format since an Egg joined Instagram.
Us: We're going to raid Area 51! There's some suspicious stuff going on over there.
