The aliens among you
A Facebook site has called for Americans, on 20 September 2019, to ‘storm Area 51, they can’t stop all of us seeing them aliens’. At time of writing, 1.4 million Internet users have signed up to join in and the American government has issued a warning against would-be trespassers.
If you don’t know (and you are not supposed to know!), Area 51 is the name given to a secret military training facility in the Nevada desert. The site was acquired by the US Air Force in 1955 for testing experimental craft. However, its secrecy fuelled various outlandish conspiracy theories regarding alien spacecraft and technology.
