Storming Area 51?

[RVTECH]

If this materializes into anything - and the potential is good - it will probably turn out like most things of this nature. Lots of clueless people standing around cheering for the loudest and most outspoken person who will no doubt be 'demanding' we be shown what is going on, demanding entry etc.
No doubt a media circus with news as well.
Then there will be a few nutcases who will makes a show of challenging security, get roughed up and arrested - but no one is going to get shot.

I hope area 51s sole research project has been area denial/crowd control brown noise and blinding laser weapons, and we get to see a million millenials stumbling around crapping their skinny jeans.

I don't normally wish ill on anyone, and I don't literally in this case either. However, the mental image of a bunch of nutbags getting manhandled by AF security is, admittedly, kind of entertaining.

I hope there is interstellar technology like everyone speculates/says there is.

I hope our scientists have dissected it and turned it into defensive and offensive weaponry.

I'd hate to be "The United States of America" and have 3rd world weapons to defend against USSR, China, and all the others.

I hope we are the only ones that have that sort of technology. There are some things to share with the world. And there are some things you do not want anyone to know you have. And I hope they are keeping those things highly guarded there and elsewhere.

The military is not going to mow down a crowd of intruders. The vast desert space provides plenty of opportunity to capture them and turn them over to the civilian authorities for criminal prosecution.

I'm guessing the military is ready for the skinny jeans, latte sipping, hipster dooches.

And, if said d's are dumb enought to launch it will be entertaining...

 

[USMC-03]

And this is how I imagine it will go down...

Prediction. 99%+ won't show up.

This is no different than the supposed supporters of Colton Harris Moore (aka Barefoot Bandit) many years ago. They all 'supported' him online, but when things got serious and spending or donating their money was involved... *poof*

Yah, preferably federal felony charges as well. Terrorism, treason, espionage etc.

 

[CountryGent]

I too seriously doubt they are going to have anywhere near the numbers show as are on the FB page. And the loons that do show, even less being dumb enough to try and storm a military facility. As the AF know the date the nutbag crew is planning on showing, I'd imagine they've stocked up on all sorts of non-lethal, riot control goodies to stop them. Once stopped, zip cuffed and turned over to the authorities for prosecution.

It might go something like this

Shot? Not likely. Detained and probed, might happen...

Too late. They already got my cat.

You know folks, this isn't antifa charging Area 51. It's UFO geeks. Generally among the most harmless people out there. They don't need to be killed, shot, gassed or burnt.
Of the very few people who actually go all the way out to the desert in the heat, dust and no internet I think there will be zero anarchists.

I think a good plan of action would be to bag 50 to 100 screwballs. Put them on a IV drip with a cocktail of fun juices for 1-2 weeks. Have medical and psych techs dressed as various alien types interact with the screwballs.
Then release the patients, naked in major cities, in middle of the night holding day glow anal probes.

 

[xlsbob]

I think maybe Scrammer is thinking about this a little too hard

 

[Ura-Ki]

Any one still thinks/believes that "Area 51" is still some ultra top secret military installation is completely clueless as to how the real world of Ultra top secret stuff works! That installation likely went out of business some time in the late 60's when the Soviets caught up in technology and could look close enough day or night to see what might be there! No, the good stuff is safely hidden someplace even more remote and isolated, likely with even more extremes in weather and in hospitable to normal human life! Some place like West Central Alaska perhaps!
Plausible deniability at its finest, build something really big, make it look ultra secure, man it with really bad arse dudes with big guns and threaten every one with death and taxes for getting anywhere near it, and every one will believe exactly what you want them to! Meanwhile, Safely ensconced in Big Bear country Alaska, the gooberment is conducting all it's nefarious stuff free of any attention!

I'm sorry it brings some joy to warped demented sense of humor, which is why my girlfriend likes me.

Anyone hear anything? anything at all. No news coverage that I've seen.
