Area 51: Storming of secretive Nevada base to 'see aliens' fails to materialize

The storming of secretive Nevada Base Area 51 has failed. Five people were arrested.

According to BBC, fears that thousands of people could storm Area 51 on Friday were unfounded, with just several dozen arriving at the secretive US military base.

Millions had responded to a Facebook post in June calling for people to raid the facility in Nevada on 20 September to “see them aliens”. But nobody attempted to enter the site.

Area 51 was created during the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union as a testing and development facility for aircraft.
