Some of the memes this invasion is generating are pure gold.

*shrug* the smart move would be for the military to play into the joke. Set a designated "break in" point, arrange a Mud Run obstacle course type race, put up funny alien decorations at the end with a party type event. I would think they could figure out crowd control and how to keep people out of actual sensitive or dangerous areas. Give the curiosity seekers and wacko's a distraction so they won't come up with anymore of their own ideas.
Hell, they could even use it to raise money for charity or something, not to mention the recruitment opportunity.

Great idea.
Add in some harmless fake land mines that pop up and make noise or flash. That would be awesome to watch. Maybe have some security guys join in wearing alien outfits plus some Men in Black types.

The invasion itself is a meme

It would be a better meme if they'd wait a month, and do it on St Crispin's Day.

So, Kyle?
Naruto?
Someone's bathwater?
Do I want to know what these are?

"Yes, it sounds like a joke, but there apparently are some people who want to check out the joke," Connie West, the co-owner of Little A'Le'Inn (pronounced "little alien"), told NPR.
West's inn in Alamo, Nev., is the closest lodging site to Area 51. "About 26 miles from the runway," she says.
...
"Apparently, people are taking it seriously," West said. "I think they're stupid if they think they're going to get to the test site, but I'm gonna capitalize on it."
I like the way this woman thinks. Spoken like a true entrepreneur.

...and cable company customer service.
That just illustrates Area 51's weakness- it actually has an address or can be found on a map.

I figure anything of importance was moved to Area 52.

A Kyle is an internet meme https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/kyle
Nartuo is some reference to how some anime character runs

I spent some down time looking at Google Map satellite views of Area 51 (look up Groom Lake, which is just to the north of Area 51 runways). First, bravo to Google. If you drag the yellow man onto the area, he changes into a flying saucer. Second, there are some good vantage points around the area. Think the snipers would mind if we came with binoculars just to watch the show?

There *used to be* some good vantage points. Now, If you can see it, you are on govt property.

I wonder how many people will bring drones . . .
Wouldn't it be funny if they released hundreds or thousands of balloons trailing strands of foil from somewhere upwind of the site? >:D

OK, that also explains "karen", sort of, which I was wondering about.

The Military (especially the Army) uses "Carl" as the f-d up troop who has a terminal case of the stupids.
Meanwhile regarding the storming of Area 51, I'll be like:

Similar boat with my cane. I might be able to drizzle in, but "storming in" is out of the question.

You bunch of neophytes.
You want to walk/run/storm across a desert? Are you stupid or something? Why walk when you can drive? And why drive when you can fly?
Airborne assault is the best approach.
Therefore, I recommend launching yourselves over the fence with a trebuchet or catapult. Chainmail armor is optional.

Go hover or go home.

Heard there's info that can lead to the arrest of Hillary at Area 51. Also heard that the largest mass suicide in history is being planned for Sept 20th.

Chainmail armor made out of spring steel wire, right?
Boingboingboingboing.
If there were "anything" there, former President BHO would have told us:
MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
SUBJECT: Transparency and Open Government
My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.
Government should be transparent. Transparency promotes accountability and provides information for citizens about what their Government is doing. Information maintained by the Federal Government is a national asset. My Administration will take appropriate action, consistent with law and policy, to disclose information rapidly in forms that the public can readily find and use. Executive departments and agencies should harness new technologies to put information about their operations and decisions online and readily available to the public. Executive departments and agencies should also solicit public feedback to identify information of greatest use to the public.

"...consistent with law and policy..." Aye, there's the loophole, all the other fine words notwithstanding.
I say thus: If there is or was anything there deserving of such ultra-high levels of security, all the better for the safety of the U.S., so maybe those lemmings should let it be.
I bet there would be a couple of "Amens" over that statement.

This whole thing is going to end up like Geraldo Rivera chasing Al Capone's vault.
