Martinez’s muse was the thumping beat from a satellite set-up pumping a techno tune into the chilly desert night Thursday.Warm beneath a wolf “spirit hood” and matching faux fur jacket, the 31-year-old in Pokemon collectible cards dealer said people, not the military base, drew him drive more than six hours from Pomona, California, alone.
The music kicked off weekend events — inspired by an internet hoax to “see them aliens” — that Lincoln County Sheriff Kerry Lee said had drawn perhaps 1,500 people to two tiny desert towns. Authorities reported no serious incidents related to festivals scheduled until Sunday in Rachel and Hiko, the two towns closest to Area 51. They’re about a 45-minute drive apart on a state road dubbed the Extraterrestrial Highway, and a two-hour drive from Las Vegas.Earlier, as Wily Savage band members helped erect the wooden frame for a stage shade in Rachel, guitarist Alon Burton said he saw a chance to perform for people who, like Martinez, were looking for a scene in which to be seen.
The result, Borer said, was “hope and fear” for events that include the “Area 51 Basecamp” featuring music, speakers and movies in Hiko, and festivals in Rachel and Las Vegas competing for the name “Alienstock.” Still, neighbors braced for trouble after millions of people responded to the “Storm Area 51” Facebook post weeks ago.
“It will get cold at night. They’re not going to find what they’re looking for, and they are going to get angry,” Arnu said.
