Hundreds of curious Earthlings from around the world traveled to the Area 51 military base in the Nevada desert after seeing an internet hoax dubbed “Storm Area 51.”
It wasn’t long before the revelers peacefully rejoined 2,000 other people at alien-themed festivals in the tiny towns of Rachel and Hiko.As he walked away from one of the gates, 25-year-old Cyril Soudant of Lille, France, said he was disappointed at how few people were at the event. “It started as a joke and now people are getting to know each other,” said Ferguson, 23, of Sioux Falls, S.D.
A music group called Wily Savage erected a stage Thursday near the Little A’Le’Inn in Rachel and began playing after dark for several hundred campers who braved temperatures that dropped to about 45 degrees. Another gathering was planned Friday and Saturday at the Alien Research Center souvenir store in Hiko. Owner George Harris said his “Alien Basecamp” would focus on music, movies and talks about extraterrestrial lore.
