Alien Hunter Explains Why He Is Not Joining Area 51 Raid

When a joke suggesting that alien enthusiasts should storm Area 51 in Mexico to “find aliens” went out of hand, the military has since warned the public from people seriously planning to go ahead of their plans.

The suggestion, which was first released in the FB page, "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us" has since become viral, so much so that local authorities around the Air Force Base in the desert has expressed worry on what could go wrong should the raid push through.

"I cannot believe it's gotten this much attention. We deal with this on a weekly basis but nothing to this scale," Lincoln County Sheriff Kerry Lee said in a report by CNN.

Per the report, the town might not be able to accommodate the expected number of people who plans to storm the Air Force base. The town of Rachel only has a population of 54 with only four businesses in total that’s operating. Among these, only one can actually provide very limited food and lodging.

Aside from this, a UFO expert also downplayed the significance of Area 51 when it comes to the search for alien life, something that UFOlogists might consider before heading out to the desert base.

According to a report, astronomy professor Jason Wright, who wrote that there’s a possibility that an advanced civilization once existed on Mars and Venus, said that he and his team have not paid much attention in trying to look for aliens in Area 51.

“We scour the skies for evidence of such extraterrestrial technologies with some of the most advanced equipment in the world for understanding what's going on in the sky, and we haven't found anything compelling yet. But we're not paying much attention to what happens in Area 51,” he said.

In fact, Wright said that there hasn’t been any real research from their end on what’s actually happening in Area 51 so this might be something that the millions of people who signed up for the “event” should consider.

"The closest I've come was a talk I heard by a physicist describing the fascinating science carried out by the military back in the late 1940s, especially Project Mogul, which launched microphones on balloons to see if they could detect nuclear testing going on in the Soviet Union. It's an amazing story of physics and engineering ingenuity. When one of those balloons with its disc microphones and radar reflectors landed in a farm in Roswell, New Mexico it helped fuel the whole alien craze we're still living with today," he said.

The professor also said that people should set clear expectations on populist theories such as aliens in Area 51 which could eventually save them on disappointment and avoid any unnecessary chaos.

“It's a shame because the science-fiction-inspired 'aliens' conspiracy theory is — from my standpoint — so much less fascinating than the story of the research that was going on then," he explained.
