About 75 people showed up for the “Storm Area 51” event in Nevada, and at least two people were detained by local sheriff’s deputies early on Friday, Sept. 20.
According to ABC News, it’s not clear what the offenses were that led to the arrests. Meanwhile, nobody made it past the first Area 51 gate.
