Today my class had to do a blog post about some thing that had to be from a news site so I chose this because it will be hopefuly be happening tomorrow on the 20th of September. Here is some info about it.
It was supposed to be a fun joke. Create an event on Facebook that was so absurd, everyone would have a laugh, see a meme and then move on with their lives.
Instead, Matty Roberts got a visit from the FBI, the Air Force has warned it is ready for anything and rural Lincoln County, Nevada, US, is preparing to declare a state of emergency.
In late June, Roberts, a 20-year-old from Bakersfield, posted his Facebook event: "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us."
The idea was simple. Overwhelm the top-secret Nevada military site with people storming the gates in search of the truth behind conspiracy theories and television shows including The X-Files.
The post got little attention at first, but a few days later it started to go viral, and by mid-July more than 1 million people said on Facebook they were planning to attend.
The authorities soon heard about the plan and, were not happy. It wasn't long before Roberts began backpedalling.
I wonder if it will go ahead or not?
