Area 51 and Aliens: The Myth, the Meme, and the Strange Reality, Explained - Vox

By the time you read this, "Storm Area 51" will be underway. It's worth checking out some of the articles spawned by the phenomenon. Alex Ward and Aja Romano give a history of the past and present of Area 51, with a good map and some archival flight videos of the U-2 and SR-71A spy planes. If this Vox article comes from authors uninvested in UFOs and largely dismissive, Sean Casteel's Dead Aliens, Reverse Technology And The Whistleblowers of "Area 51" -- And Beyond! whips one around in the opposite direction. Really a promo for another collaborative Timothy Green Beckley effort Area 51 -- Warning Keep Out, Casteel's piece luxuriates in the lurid tales told by a number of purported "whistleblowers." Back to the matters at hand, an Air Force General Avoids Alien Questions While Warning Public Not to Storm Area 51. Jocelyne LeBlanc sketches known military preparations, and what's still "on" and what isn't as far as the festivities go. One likely "Storming" keepsake aside from a potential $600 fine is described by Dustin Nelson's Bud Light Is Making a Beer for Aliens That Escape Area 51. The company did not meet its goal of 51,00 retweets of its twitter announcement of the "Area 51 Special Edition," so perhaps the nuttiness has indeed died down, but the can is kind of cool. No claim is here made for the brew. (WM)
