The Lincoln County base may be safe though as the event appears to have created as a joke. Fox News reports September 20 at 3am is the time for the “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us”.

Naruto is a popular Japanese anime character.

The details go on: “The Rock Throwers will throw pebbles at the inevitable resistance we don't want to hurt them, we just want to annoy.”
