The viral Facebook plan to storm Area 51 fell well short of its expected attendance, but its legend continues to grow on the internet.

Alongside a photo of military men and women standing at attention in uniform in front of a B-2 stealth bomber, the tweet read, "The last thing #Millennials will see if they attempt the #area51raid today."

The Area 51 raid played out like a meme come to life on Friday morning, as dozens gathered outside the gate in Nevada.

Millions pledged to storm Area 51 on Facebook. How many will actually show up to one of the competing music festivals in Nevada on Sept. 20?

The original plan to free aliens from Area 51 has collapsed due to entirely human reasons.

The 'Storm Area 51' creator has a new plan: Invade the tiny town of Rachel, Nev., for a music festival called Alienstock.

On the latest 'Nighttime' podcast episode, host Jordan Bonaparte takes a look at the recent viral push to storm Area 51 and liberate the aliens some believe are hidden inside.

Matty Roberts started the event as a joke, but now he's preparing to stage something "fun" for anyone who shows up outside Area 51.

More than 1 million Facebook users have now signed up to storm Area 51 to "get them aliens."
