There are no aliens at Area 51. It's just a weapon testing Facility for the US Military.

Even if it is just a testing facility for experimental weaponry and aircraft, that still sounds extremely fascinating. I have to say though, my desire to see experimental airplanes is not as great as my desire to get shot by military personnel.

However, 600,000 people threaten it, only...six will probably actually show up...and boy howdy, they're in for a bad day.

Indeed. It was intended as a joke, but there've been indications that some of the locals 'round here are taking a bit too seriously...

I’m actually surprised that something like this hasn’t happened in earnest already. There are lots of crazy people online (and off) who are obsessed with Area 51. Perhaps most of them don’t have good enough organizational skills to amass a large enough crowd...

At some point, the government is probably going to need to move that base elsewhere.

Or

They could release all the little green men who are “residents” there and sell off their spaceships (but, of course, only to people who have permits to drive alien space ships).

Or maybe the ambiguity of whether it's a joke or not is intended to throw them off guard?
