Facebook Page Created As Joke To "Storm Area 51" Becomes Viral Sensation

RACHEL, NEVADA - JULY 22: An Extraterrestrial Highway sign is posted along state route 375 on July 22, 2019 in Rachel, Nevada. State officials drew inspiration from the alien legends at the nearby top-secret military installation known as Area 51 and dubbed the 98 mile route from U.S. highway 93 to U.S. highway 6, the Extraterrestrial Highway in February 1996. A Facebook event entitled, "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us," which the author stated was meant as a joke, calls for people to storm the highly classified U.S. Air Force facility near Rachel on September 20, 2019, to address a conspiracy theory that the U.S. government is conducting tests with space aliens.
