400,000 people to storm Area 51

some ding dong on facebook says he is planning a "raid" where lots and lots of people storm Area 51 so they can get to see the aliens. the idea is that if there are so many people, they can't be stopped.
the event is called "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us"
https://www.facebook.com/events/448435052621047/?active_tab=about
here is the plan of attack:
Naruto is a cartoon character.
Area 51, also called Dreamland and Paradise Ranch, is officially called Groom Lake, which is a highly classified area in the interior of Nellis Air Force Range, which is an area of 4500 square miles owned by the Air Force for the purpose of nuclear testing, aerial gunnery and bombing tests, aerospace proving grounds, simulated air defense systems, and Blue Flag, Green Flag and Red Flag aerial combat exercises with NATO and other allies.
at the end of the facebook page it says
Area 51 is a "remote detachment" of Edwards Air Force Base, which is in southern California and not anywhere near Area 51. if there were extraterrestrial aliens associated with Area 51 they would be at Edwards instead of chained to a tree in the middle of a bombing range.
nevertheless, 378,000 people (and counting) have signed up to do this. probably most of them are joking as much as the "raid" planner is, but you know there will be some that actually show up. and, you know if they are stupid enough to try to bum rush the place, they are going to get their * blown off.
anyways my question is this:
say it was for real and almost 400,000 people try to simultaneously force their way into Area 51 in search of aliens.
can they do it?

here is the plan of attack:
We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry. If we Naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Let's see them aliens.

P.S. Hello US government, this is a joke, and I do not actually intend to go ahead with this plan," Jackson mentions. "I just thought it would be funny and get me some thumbsy uppies on the internet. I'm not responsible if people decide to actually storm area 51.

I wouldn't recommend it.
As some boxer once said, plans change at the first punch in your face.
Oh, and that cutesy disclaimer? Solly Challey, you induced a riot. Not gonna fly.
My opinion- This is an act of treason and I would treat these bozos as such.
Herd them all into a big hanger.
apply handcuffs/restraints for trespassing/etc
Line up buses
fill buses for slow drive to detention facilities
thoroughly process each offender for true id
set up court to let them plead guilty, pay fine, etc or go back to detention center until trial.
Since it's an important issue the whole process should be done in a through, deliberate manner so there are no violations of their rights.
Option 2: (kill them with kindness)
Pick three or so of the biggest loudmouths.
Take them to the in-processing center and give them detailed security briefings, complete with signed, notarized statements, on what will happen to them if they say anything about any military secrets they see. Same forms to assure them that they will be shown anything, anywhere they want to see and if they believe there are aliens/alien artifacts they will be allowed to inspect/photograph them and images/descriptions will be released with full explanations.
Provide them with armed escorts and offer (live on the internet) to take them anywhere they want to go.
Show (live on the net) them being led where ever they want to go with cameras focused on them so as to not show anything secret.
By then they should realize that if they see something they will not be able to say much about it for the rest of their lives or face federal prison.
{Hint: every set of "special maps" the military prints probably has an "Area 51" somewhere so having plenty of maps with Area 51's clearly marked and directions how to get there clearly written out}
[How long before they give up?]
Option 3: (Lost in the wilderness)
Let them gather and "storm" the reservation. Make sure all roads are blocked so they have to walk. Warn them that there will be no military reaction to their intrusion unless they try to enter marked "Highly Restricted Areas". {Note: search and rescue is a military option. If they insist that they be rescued from their own stupidity charge them for the effort required. Payment required before release. Any medical treatment needed from terrain issues (falls, etc) or munitions laying around (vaporization by bombs, etc) will be at their own expense since they are trespassing.}
Run pix on tv about different types of munitions, deadly critters, etc they will encounter.
Nothing official, but have some local folks talk about how much water and food one will need to hike from boundary to alleged Area 51 (and back!)
Option 3a:
Let anyone who want to walk to area 51 through the gate IF they have enough food, water, etc to survive the walk there and back. (hehehe -- I can just see folks trying to just walk with that load!)
My late brother-in-law was selected to help write the Air Force explanation of the Roswell Incident several years ago. He was very excited to get the job (he was a historian) and started out believing the claims.
But the more he researched and interviewed people and inspected the debris the more he was convinced it was an Air Force radar experiment. He even found information on the "Guy with the big head" seen at the crash site -- he'd been hit on the head in the crash and his head had swollen as a result of the injury.
I think this has the makings for a great comedy/reality show that could make someone a fortune!
Within 2 miles expect a sudden attack of reality.
Ever watch them evacuate 50,000 people ahead of a hurricane? With 6 lanes of interstate highway? Try 4 lanes of BAD gravel road with twice as many people- no fuel, no water. Would make Woodstock look like a Boy Scout Jamboree.
But the IQ of the human race would probably inch up just a bit ????...
All the armchair protesters will stay on thier lazyboys.
Sure, a small group of real fruitcakes will probably show up somewhere, dressed like aliens or God knows what, and stand there holding signs in an attempt at their fifteen minutes of fame. Nothing more to it.
There are no aliens being stored at Area 51, or anywhere else on this planet. The only aliens that exist are the illegal variety.
Question........... Which demo-rats do you think will be there on the other side of the fence to protect the "aliens"?
If enough show up, it might make a change in the 2020 voter turnout, except any from Chicago, where the dead vote 4 or 5 times.
That would be fine and maybe catch the first bullet fired.
We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:
But make sure they understand that being shown classified items means they can't talk to anyone about what they saw for something like 25 to 50 years or face a long prison stay and still not be able to talk to anyone about what they saw.
Think they'd accept the offer????
There's the angle, alien running in 2020 against Trump.
Pedro, Roberto, Manuel and Jesus. They will take your wallet, watch, smart phone and bottle of Evian.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And Evian spelled backwards is: Naive ~ not long ago, anyone paying a buck for a bottle of water would have been considered STUPID, not just naive.
Regardless, could be a good time to invest in an undertaking service in the area.

You have your choice of the one that Sigourney Weaver met, or the one Arnold met in Predator.
Forget this E.T. and little green men crap. "Oh- we're not trying to keep you OUT- we're trying to keep THEM in. " Scare the living crap outa the snowflakes.

And that was 50 years ago. The military has far more firepower today.

Let's certainly hope so, and let's hope that she gets blown away before everybody turns tail and runs, including her
