More than 850,000 people have now signed up to the “Storm Area 51” event as interest mounts in what appears to be a satirical ploy to raid the secretive military facility and “see them aliens.”

According to the event page, the alien enthusiasts will meet at 3 a.m. on Sept. 20 “at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry.”
