Whether or not individuals take the joke seriously and actually show up at Area 51 remains to be seen, however the US military has issued a warning advising against it. "The U.S. Air Force is aware of the Facebook event encouraging people to 'Storm Area 51,'" an Air Force spokesperson told NPR. "The Nevada Test and Training Range provides flexible, realistic and multidimensional battlespace to test and develop tactics as well as conduct advanced training in support of U.S. national interests," adding, "Any attempt to illegally access the area is highly discouraged."
