Stuff I (probably) stole from Wikipedia:
"Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us", commonly referred to as Raid Area 51 or Storm Area 51, was a Facebook event that took place on September 20, 2019, at Area 51, a United States Air Force (USAF) facility within the Nevada Test and Training Range, to raid the site in a search for extraterrestrial life. More than 2 million people responded "going" and 1.5 million "interested" on the event's page, which subsequently attracted widespread media reaction and made the event become an Internet meme.[2][3][4][5][6] The event was created by Matty Roberts on June 27, 2019,[7] who confirmed the event was purely comedic and disavowed responsibility for any casualties were there any actual attempts to raid the military base.[8]
Air Force spokeswoman Laura McAndrews said government officials were briefed on the event and discouraged people from attempting to enter military property.[9] Nevada law enforcement also warned potential participants in the event against trespassing.[10] The event, although intended as a joke, had an effect on businesses both locally in Nevada and around the United States, which prepared products for visitors for those attending the event.[11]
In Lincoln County, Nevada, two music festivals were also planned: Alienstock in Rachel, Nevada and Storm Area 51 Basecamp in Hiko, Nevada. Local governments and police feared that even these legal events could be problematic if too many people showed up. Alienstock was cancelled by Roberts due to poor planning and planned for it to be relocated to Las Vegas, although the Little A'Le'Inn owner Connie West attempted to continue with the name in Rachel. Roberts' lawyers sent her a cease and desist regarding use of the name.
On the day of the event, about 150 people were reported to have shown up at the entrance to Area 51, with none succeeding in entering the site; an estimated 1,500 attended the related festivals.[12] Three arrests were made for trespassing, including one for alcohol related reasons and one for indecent exposure.[1][13]
