There's no reason for them to do it now... it's already well-known the whole thing was originally proposed as a joke (a massive troll), and I would be very surprised if they don't leave everything up and just let it play out so everyone can see how stupid it would be if anyone actually showed up to attempt this "storming."

If 100 people show up, we should all be stunned.

I've always had an interest in the Groom Lake test site. Although the signs used to say ''Use Of Deadly Force Authorized" (pretty sure the wording has been toned down in recent years), as far as I know nobody has ever actually been taken out. Most likely scenario is a visit to the Lincoln County jail courtesy of the sheriff. I do recall an interview with an ex "camo dude" stating that they did, in fact, have the authority to "waste 'em" if somebody looked like they were truly attempting to breach the facility.

Pretty sure the whole thing is a joke anyway but I would imagine even if a few of these parents-basement dwelling knuckleheads tried to make the trek up the Groom lake road they would probably dump a load in their pants as soon as the helicopters starting buzzing them. Ive heard they can be quite aggressive.
If you're interested in a non tin-foil hat look at the facility check out Area 51 - Dreamland Resort. There is a wealth of information there, past and as much as can been known about the present.

There may be food service if you show up

If you are stupid enough to show up . . . There may be food service.

Problem with a deal like this is that there certainly are people stupid enough to actually go try it. With the internet they can scheme and obsess about it as a group. Fortunately, Area 51 is far away from everywhere, and stupid and unmotivated are the handmaidens of the slacker.

Many years ago I was working for the US Dept of Energy and we had a meeting at Area 51. We flew in on a DOE DC-9 and, as we approached, they had us pull the shades on the plane's windows. We landed and taxied into a hangar where we boarded a bus with all of the windows blacked out and drove us to the building where the meeting was. We did exit the bus and immediately proceeded to the building where all the windows were curtained closed. After the meeting, the same drill and we couldn't raise the plane's shades until about 15 minutes after take off. Never saw anything during the couple of minutes we were actually outside. Me thinks they took security very seriously and still do.

BTW, the person shot at the NNSA's Mercury site in January had illegally driven past the NNSA Security forces and pursued for 8 miles into the area when he refused to obey orders and approached the security forces and Nye County SO and was shot. Mercury site is the NNSA's location for all sorts of nucweps related experiments and is the old Nevada Test Site where above ground and underground nuc tests were conducted. It is about 18 miles from Area 51.

UTTR is another one of those places you don't want to mess with.

My son and I dropped by a few years ago when we drove my Cayman home from Phoenix. Saw 152 mph on the clock just before we made this stop. Wonder how many eyes were watching us.

The world is ready to finally see the secrets hidden inside Area 51. And if one of those secrets happens to be living aliens, well, we have good news -- they'll be greeted with free cans of Bud Light.

Anheuser-Busch, the maker of Bud Light, initially posted on Twitter, "We'd like to be the first brand to formally announce that we will not be sponsoring the Area 51 raid."
However, the brand quickly backtracked off that alienating claim, saying, "Screw it. Free Bud Light to any alien that makes it out."

The company even went as far as to make a label for its Area 51 Special Edition Bud Light."Greetings Earthlings. This is the famous Area 51," it says at the top of the can. "We know of no space beer by any other life form which is brewed and aged to be more refreshing. Our cryogenic aging produces a light bodied space lager with a fresh taste, a crisp, clean finish, and a smooth drinkability. Take us to your leader...for drinks."

In case you will have to miss storming Area 51, another group plans on storming the Bermuda Triangle . . . Show us those ships you are hiding!

I really laughed when I read that

I lived in the Bermuda triangle for 15 years and the only thing of mine that went missing was my BMX but I'm sure it was stolen

Kind of reminds me of the 1938 radio broadcast of "War of the Worlds" that caused such a panic.
