A Nevada county is preparing for two large-scale alien festivals by issuing an emergency declaration.
An alien internet meme has caused one Nevada county to declare a state of emergency before thousands of Area 51 enthusiasts descend upon small towns.
According to a press release, Basecamp tickets are $51 a piece and cover the cost of admission, car-and-RV parking, two bottles of water, a food truck voucher for $10, and a branded lanyard. Retired U.S. Navy commander Dick Marcinko, who allegedly experienced a UFO sighting, will be a featured speaker.
In June, a Bakersfield, Nev., man named Matty Roberts created the Facebook event “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us,” now with two million RSVPs and its own Wikipedia page, with a comedic mission for Sept. 20th and 22nd: “We will all meet up in Rural Nevada and coordinate our parties...Let’s see them aliens.”
Brock Daily, 20, of Fayetteville, Ark., who is helping Roberts pull off the event, tells Yahoo Lifestyle, “If we do this right, in a few years, it could be an annual gathering like SXSW and generate a lot of money for Rachel.” The last time Lincoln County filed for an emergency declaration was in 2016 when a former nurse died by suicide by detonating two bombs in the Mormon town of Panaca.
Over in Rachel, all 10 rooms at the Little A’Le’Inn are booked solid. “The phone is still ringing all the time,” motel owner Connie West tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “It’s terrifying, exhausting and exhilarating.”
