Hey, guys. Please tell me you have heard
of the viral sensation "Storm Area 51".
News Anchor: It was a joke, but one the Air Force
is taking seriously.
A Facebook post, an avowed fake designed to get likes,
announced a plan to raid the Air Force Base in Nevada
known as Area 51, which has been at the centre
of UFO and alien conspiracy theories for decades.
It is crazy.
On September 20th, a bunch of people
are going to be storming the Area 51 base.
I got my alien shirt.
I got the time and date.
All I need is a plan.
What could possibly go wrong?

Hey girl, do you want to do something really fun?
I'm storming Area 51.
Do you want to come with me?
No.
That sounds stupid.

Hey girl, do you want to do something super fun?
Yeah sure.
Let's storm Area 51.
Eh?
Um, I don't know if my mom let me.
I-- I have a lot of homework.
Come on!
please stop calling me.
Hey, Leo! You want to come to Area 51 with me?
[loud buzzer]
Okay.
Well, it says here that Area 51 was founded in 1942
as a place for the US government to test aircraft.
But then a mysterious "weather balloon" crashed nearby,
and rumours started swirling that the military was trying
to reverse engineer UFO technology.
Sounds like something I need to see.
This is an open training range for the U.S. Air Force,
and we would discourage anyone from trying to come
in to the area where we train American armed forces.
Hm. Well that does sound pretty convincing,
but let's soldier on.
So, uh, where is Area 51 anyway?
[phone chimes]
Siri:
It is pretty far from you.
Looks like I'm going to need some help with this.

Hey, Meagan.
So I heard you're an expedition and adventure expert.
Is there anything you can tell me about storming Area 51?
Yeah, Devyn, I sure have
some ideas of areas that you can consider.
For example, have you considered your travel plans?
Do you know where you're going to fly in to,
and how are you going to get to Area 51?
I have no idea.
I was going to ask my mom to drive me,
but I'm not sure if she can do that.
Do you know where you're gonna be getting
your water from for this trip?
No, I've no idea.
Did not think that through.
What are your navigation skills like?
I know how to work out Google Maps,
and I play a lot of Minecraft,
so I'm hoping...
In the desert, where you're off line for a while,
if you don't have a solar panel with you
you're not able to recharge your gadgets,
you might run into a bit of trouble.
I think you need to do a little bit more preparation
before you head out.
I love your spirit.
But before you go and storm Area 51,
how about do some more practicing and research
before you go.
All right.
Thank you very much.

Well guys, I'm getting the vibe that this might be a bust.
Storming Area 51 is not the best idea because you know something
bad might happen, but there might be a bright side to this.
There's talk of a music festival, Alien Stock.
Music festivals are cool.
There's not really many updates on the website.
So people are saying it's the next Fyre Festival.
We all know how that ended.
The best thing for me to do right now,
is just sit back, relax, and see how this plays out.
And I think it's the best thing for you to do too.
I'm Devyn, and this is putting an end to my
