Are aliens real? The most trending thing on the internet today ! Over a million people have pledged to find out about Area 51.

So how it all started ?

A Facebook event named Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us has become an internet sensation. Even though the US Air Force is strongly advising against it, more than 1.2 million people have signed up to attend the 20th September event in the Nevada desert, and another 990,000(approx) are "interested" in attending.

"If we Naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets," the page says.

As per the creator of the event: "We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry. If we Naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Let's see them aliens." and since then the internet exploded with memes about breaching Area 51.

So what is area 51 ?

Area 51 is a highly classified zone around 150 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada, a detachment of the famed Edwards Air Force Base. No one really knows what the base is used for, though it's speculated to be a location for aircraft development, and as such Area 51 has become synonymous with alien conspiracies. The most popular ones involve alien spaceships or aliens themselves, all allegedly housed within the classified zone.

The location reportedly got its name when, in 1951, the remains of the alleged Roswell UFO (said to have crashed in 1947) were brought to the base. In 2013, the CIA issued a 355-page declassified report detailing the birth of Area 51 and the U-2 spy planes developed and tested there.

Conspiracy theories

Area 51 was officially acknowledged as an Air Force base in 2013, but has spurred conspiracy theories as an unidentified flying object and alien holding site for decades. In short, it's thought that Area 51 holds all the government secrets about aliens -- though the CIA has published documents confirming its use as a test base.

But it has since been confirmed that the US government has spent $22 million researching UFOs. Just last month a group of US senators were briefed on UFO encounters the US Navy has had, too. [source:CNN]

There are many conspiracy theories about it, but the Feds have denied all of them and has warned the UFO enthusiast who are trying to breach it.

As of now, the memes are real. What happens further is something to look for !
