WARNING: What to know about Area 51 before the raid | Just The FAQs

Popular conspiracy theories have inspired many to "storm Area 51.” But what is Area 51? And what makes it the alien hotspot of conspiracy theories?
RELATED: • Alien seekers join for...
If you've ever wondered whether we're alone in the galaxy, you're no space oddity.
More than 379,000 people have signed on to a Facebook event pledging to raid Area 51 in southern Nevada in an effort to "see them aliens." An additional 396,000 respondents marked themselves as "interested" on the event page as of Thursday night.
"If we [N]aruto run, we can move faster than their bullets," the event description says, making a humorous reference to a Japanese manga character known for running with his arms stretched out backward and his head forward.
The page invites respondents to convene Sept. 20 at the Area 51 Alien Center, a combination diner, convenience store and brothel in Amargosa Valley, Nevada, about 90 miles from Las Vegas.
Though the event is months away, social media users have already begun to speculate about what might be inside the highly classified Air Force facility in the Nevada desert.

[@moemtgz2811]

In 2013 the U.S. government officially acknowledged the existence of Area 51. That year the National Security Archive at the George Washington University obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) a formerly classified CIA document that chronicled the history of the U-2 spy plane; a heavily redacted version had previously been released in 1998. According to the report, in 1955 the remote site-which included an airfield not used by the military since World War II-was selected in order to test the U-2. Test flights of that spy plane, and subsequent aircraft, accounted for many of the UFO sightings in the area; the U-2 could reach altitudes much higher than any other planes at the time. After the U-2 was put into service in 1956, Area 51 was used to develop other aircraft, including the A-12 (also known as OXCART) reconnaissance plane and the stealth fighter F-117 Nighthawk.

[@ladyindaroom]

Something is going on. I believe them in Nevada. Why would they lie? I've been thinking about the "Horton hears a Who" book. There's more to that story than meets the eye. Was Dr. Seus trying to tell us something?

[@queta7539]

[@eyes5105]

Aliens are not in Area 51, what I believe is they are trying to make a working spacecraft of some sort
