‘Storm Area 51’ in Nevada Desert
The event, titled ‘Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us’, was called for on social media, with millions of people RSVPing. Ruptly was on site with a live transmission that lasted for more than four hours and hit almost a million views. Organisers had intended to raid Area 51 to “see them Aliens.”
Area 51 has long been a topic of fascination for conspiracy theorists and paranormal enthusiasts who believe it to be the location where the US government stores and hides alien bodies and UFOs.

Its advantage is that it has coaxial rotors and no tail rotor, so it withstands well crosswind pressures both in mountains and the sea," Putin said of one model.
