The whole Area 51 raid meme began last week when a Facebook event titled “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us.” The page is clearly a joke, but it has since garnered over 1 million followers.
“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. Lets see them aliens,” a description section of the vent reads.
Iโm not from there so Iโm a bit confused. This whole Area 51 fad is about freeing some allegedly detained Aliens, right? What about the actual detained human beings at the borders, why isnโt there a movement to go free them? Iโm just asking… pic.twitter.com/KgXzKfwRuk

One individual who has spoken out against the proposed, albeit fake, Area 51 raid is physicist Bob Lazar, who has claimed to have worked with alien technology at the site in the late ’80s, and told his story in a recent documentary titled Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers.
“I do not support this ‘movement’. The last time someone tried to get in to Area 51 he was shot. This is not the way to go about trying to get more information. What is good, is the interest in the subject – the science and technology,” Lazar said in a statement, adding, “That is what would immediately change the world we live in.”
