Hundreds descend on Nevada desert near “Area 51”

Hundreds of outsiders are descending on the remote Nevada desert near the military’s mysterious “Area 51” base. They are there for the so-called “Storm Area 51” event. What began as a joke on Facebook for people curious about the site and aliens has turned into a music, movie and space-themed entertainment festival. Decades of secrecy surrounding “Area 51” has fueled speculation that it’s where the government studies aliens that have visited Earth.
