Yes, you’ve been reading all of the headlines correctly. That Area 51 raid event that began as a joke on Facebook is actually happening. A small crowd has gathered outside Area 51 in Nevada (a far cry from the millions that signed up on social media, but still) with the hopes of freeing some aliens from captivity, or maybe just watching some wild mess go down before their eyes. No one has raided the complex yet, though there have been a couple of arrests, dozens of ridiculous signs, and one already infamous Naruto runner on the news.

The Area 51 raid has spawned some of the best memes to surface online in quite a while. Twitter has been absolutely flooded with these jokes about the alien event and most of them are downright hilarious.
