Today, a mass of alien enthusiasts are flocking to the famed top-secret military facility Area 51 in the hopes of seeing some goddamn aliens once and for all, thanks to a joke that became very serious very quickly.
When a man named Matty Roberts started a Facebook event back in June titled “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us,” he was just kidding around. But after two million people RSVP’d, the joke imploded into a full-blown phenomenon, sparking a flurry of memes, media attention, and even a music festival in Las Vegas on Thursday. Welcome to Alienstock.
The timing couldn’t be better: Just this week, the United States Navy confirmed that a video made by To The Stars Academy—the UFO research organization of former Blink 182 guitarist and longtime alien weirdo Tom Delonge—does, in fact, show “unidentified” aerial “phenomena.”
While it’s doubtful that two million people will show up at Area 51, people are coming. One guy already Naruto-ran in the general direction of the facility, so rest assured that the best and brightest are in attendance! What will happen throughout the course of this incredibly weird day is unclear, but music will surely help these revelers get through the day. Here’s Jezebel’s official raiding Area 51 soundtrack that we’re sure will inspire hope, courage, and inspiration to all who are out there in the desert right now.

“Better Off Alone,” Alice DJ
