This is so neat.

If correct it’s a unification of thermodynamics and biology. After reading it it seems so simple that it is surprising it hasn’t been looked at before.

Feds warn UFO enthusiasts against storming Area 51: The military 'stands ready'

I just read a book not long ago called Area 51 an uncensored history by Annie Jacobsen. Its a pretty good history of the base, and has some really interesting moment including how the personal messed with the Russian satellite passes.

I heard the army personal actually erected a fake rude flying saucer for google maps, Google had to get permission to take overhead shots from space and the groom lake boys took advantage of the heads up.

Edit:
Found it, large pic

The funny thing is that the base has been expanding which leads me to believe that there are all kinds of weapons and advanced flight research still happening there.



And a pretty no nonsense warning has been posted by the US Military on line.





Now will they shoot people? Probably not unless these idiots cross a well defined "Line in the sand". But I'm betting that the FBI is already monitoring this as is the DIA, and the Air Force is going to have extra personal, and non lethal yet extremely uncomfortable methods of breaking this thing up.


It stops becoming a joke if some of these idiots thing that they can rush one of the most highly classified government facilities in the country.

From what I’m reading elsewhere, the main gate is 15 miles from the base. The area is so sparse, that closing a couple of roads can essentially make a gate 50 miles away where no vehicles could pass, so everyone would have to be on foot... across the desert... in the crazy heat... for 50 miles.

Even if they didn’t close roads, having thousands of people coming down the roads would create a giant traffic jam that would likely cripple cars in the heat.

Most 4x4 vehicles aren’t particularly well suited to travel across the desert either, so that’s not really an option.

Basically, you would have to be a particularly determined bunch to even get to the main gate - and it you did, you would get hit by the military’s non-lethal weapons, which would make you wish you hadn’t gotten that far.

Anyone who is determined enough to continue on would be easy targets for whatever means the military would want to deal with them with.

I don't think Bob Lazar is the most credible person:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Lazar

Lazar took electronics courses in the late 1970s at Pierce Junior College in Los Angeles.[citation needed]

Lazar claims he earned a master's degree in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and a master's degree in electronic technology from California Institute of Technology (CalTech); however, there are no records of Lazar attending either MIT or CalTech.[5] Furthermore, Lazar was not a member of a professional body.[citation needed] Lazar speculates that his academic records were erased in an effort by authorities to discredit him.

In 1990, Lazar was arrested for aiding and abetting a prostitution ring. This was reduced to felony pandering, to which he pleaded guilty.[10][11][12] He was ordered to do 150 hours of community service, stay away from brothels, and undergo psychotherapy.[11][12]

During trial and under oath, Lazar again claimed degrees from MIT and Caltech.

Bankruptcy documents verify that Lazar was self-employed as a film processor.

I just have this image now of these wack jobs doing the 50 mile walk. they get there and the Airforce hits them with the super duper top secret brown note generating sonic crowd control device and thousands simultaneously poop their pants and then have to walk 50 miles back to their cars while baking a stinky brown loaf in their pants.


Conspiracy that.

We need to buy some food trucks and go down there! The aliens are making us charge $20 for a bottle of water.

Sonic weapons are a real thing and can incapacitate. Sometimes ships use them to deter pirates.

They can cause side effects like nausea. Pooping yourself is not that much of a leap.

EDIT: So turns out "brown note" is a thing, but it's fake.

Oh it's real. Taco Corp invented the weapon to hit that note few years ago.

Storm Area 51 is a Facebook joke. There are lots of reasons it's a bad idea.

Any organized 'assault' would be countered with road closures, etc. No one is going to make it close to that base unless they want you to.

That area can be deadly for anyone stranded out there, so they would have to block access before it escalates.

I'm trying to decide which are stupider, Area 51 alien conspiracy theorists, or flat earthers.

Probably safe to assume there's quite a bit of overlap on that Venn diagram

So those are overlapping discs and not spheres?
