A Facebook event in Singapore called "Storm ST Kinetics, They Can't Stop All of Us" has popped up on the social media platform.

Who started it?

The event is hosted by National Service meme page, Memedef.

How many people are interested?

Currently, more than 1,400 people have indicated that they are "interested" in the event, with more than 700 indicating that they would be "going" to the event.

It is "scheduled" to take place on Sept. 20.

How is the event even going to happen?

Within the event's discussion tab, someone even has a hypothetical plan drawn out.

It theoretically discusses how attendees will be making use of their manpower, made up of those who gained infamy in local pop-culture, to infiltrate the premises.

The plan depicts having two e-scooter cavalries and PES BP recruits (i.e. overweight army recruits) to converge upon the premises, along with infamous Singaporeans, Steven Lim and Kurt Tay lending a hand.

Is this a spin-off of the popular Area 51 meme?

Yes.

If you're baffled as to why this is a thing, or afraid if it's some young people looking for trouble, rest assured, it is half-serious to one-eighth-serious.

This a prank event pretty much inspired by a semi-fictitious Facebook event, "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All Of Us", which is supposedly happening in Neveda, United States.

Semi-fictitious because eventually, some Americans will show up at Area 51 on Sept. 20. Because America.

Why Area 51?

This particular page, as the title suggests, "plans" to storm Area 51, a highly classified United States Air Force facility in Nevada.

Area 51 is renowned in pop culture as being a secretive military facility that has UFOs and aliens on its premises.

The military facility, hence, has been a massive source of conspiracy theories about having alien lifeforms and technology stored within the highly secured military grounds.

Of course, this was clearly stated to be a joke event, but it has nonetheless garnered official responses from US politicians and their Air Force itself.

"[Area 51] is an open training range for the US Air Force, and we would discourage anyone from trying to come into the area where we train American armed forces,” said Air Force spokeswoman Laura McAndrews in a response to The Washington Post queries.

Close to two million people have indicated their interest in going to Area 51.

What are some Area 51 memes?

So, the Singapore event is a localised version of the US prank event?

Yes, the ST Kinetics prank event is simply a local tribute to the Area 51 meme, making use of ST Kinetics as our local equivalent of Area 51.

ST Kinetics specialises in engineering defensive technologies used in our military, after all.

While it's likely that we won't be finding aliens in either areas anytime soon, please do not storm the ST Kinetics area in Singapore because that would be taking the meme offline, i.e. too far.

Still, the page makes for great laughs.

Stay safe, people.
