The day after a joke plan to raid Area 51 is set to take place in Nevada, Facebook users are planning to storm Loch Ness in Scotland.

The event is titled: "Storm Loch Ness, Nessie can't hide from us all."

More than 40,000 Facebook users have expressed interest in the public event, which is scheduled for Sept. 21. More than 20,000 users had committed to attend by Tuesday afternoon.

"The time is now for us to find dat big boi," the description of the event reads.

Nessie is a famed folklore monster thought to inhabit Loch Ness, a large freshwater lake in the Scottish highlands. According to an article on History.com, the earliest mythology surrounding Nessie dates back more than 1,500 years.

There are a dozen references in Scottish history starting in 500 A.D., when locals created a statue of a "strange aquatic creature" out of standing stones near Loch Ness, the article said.

While the public's enthusiasm for any information surrounding the mystery of Nessie has never subsided, according to History.com, Loch Ness is open to the public, unlike the restricted Area 51.

"There's really no need to 'storm' Loch Ness, given that it is open to the public 24/7, 365 days a year," Gemma McDonald of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution told CNN.

A mission to find Nessie could be somewhat dangerous for unprepared parties.

Loch Ness is about 23 miles long and 788 feet deep, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. McDonald told CNN the lake has an average temperature of 42 degrees, and conditions can worsen quickly, which would make a rescue mission more difficult for her team.

The event is one of many that have followed the buzz about Area 51. Another event was created by Facebook user Henry L. Herz, a children's book author according to his profile, for Sept. 22, titled "Storm Sasquatch, Big Foot Can't Evade Us All."

Some organizations are making use of the trend too, like the Oklahoma City Animal Shelter that asked Facebook users to storm its shelter last Friday.
