Apparently, there is a new cause that hundreds of thousands of people are supporting on Facebook. No, it's not making society any better. No, it's not saving lives. No, it's not curing cancer. It is...to see aliens.

Yes, in a time of "woke people" there is a group that is calling for everyone to storm Area 51 in Nevada. This is all supposed to take place on September 20, 2019. As of right now, there are 322,000 people that say that they are planning to be there for this event, with another 345,000 people that are at least "interested" in making this happen.

The actual name of the Facebook group is "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us". Now, let's think about this for a minute. Is storming a government facility really a good idea? Where did this thought even come from?

In the details of the group, this is the only explanation:

We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry. If we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Lets see them aliens.

So, we've thought it through, huh? I'm still not convinced. I think I'd rather just watch Independence Day from the comfort of my couch.
