Storming of Area 51

Cause
Earlier, a Facebook event had been posted. It was called "Storming of Area 51." The creator had meant this as a complete joke, however, many American Citizens took it very seriously. Within months, over 2 million people had joined, and on September 20th, 2019, 2.5 Million citizens drove to Nevada shouting "Let's see them aliens!" The Airforce had received intelligence of this, and sprung into action.

The Battle
At the border of the base, several Airforce guards approached and warned everyone to turn around. A few did, realizing this was a bad idea, but everyone else continued. They charged and killed the guards with their sheer numbers. Realizing they had a violent problem on their hands, the Airforce sent a request for help. By the time the civilians reached the base entrance, nearly half a million soldiers had come to stop the attack. They opened fire on the crowd, killing many. The citizens either fled, or tried out of desperation to destroy the gate. The base sent out Airships to defend. Soon many invaders had been killed, and soldiers streamed out of the base and arrested all who remained. The event would go down as one of the greatest disasters of all time.
