Memes in general tend to play on the absurd, they are a logical reaction to an increasingly illogical world, and through this they bring us joy and foster camaraderie. I sensed my journalistic integrity had momentarily faltered, and felt something probably not too dissimilar to the KTNV Channel 13 reporter stood in the cold desert, talking live over shaky video footage of empty benches and a sad, solitary Bud Light gazebo. I ask again about hot aliens, shamelessly questing for smut, but he very earnestly says no, that if he did get in, it would be for friendship, not for the pleasures of the flesh. He was on my sign: âSave ET from the governmentâ, heâs got a good heartâ.

I probe a little further, asking him which is his favourite alien from film or TV â and which is the hottest. And I wanted to get a shrimp alien for my pet fish, Mr. âWell, theyâre more likely to be little shrimp-like things. When I put this to Elixir, our Naruto runner, he said that he would in fact not clap alien cheeks upon successful entry into Area 51. Numerous memes appeared about bringing home sexy aliens and alien girlfriends. The most bizarre aspect of the Area 51 debacle, though, had to be the sexual element, epitomised by calls to âclap alien cheeksâ. They even took photos with us,â says Elixir. âYeah, it was pretty intimidating at first, but they were actually really nice and handled it well. The actual US military guarding the base were probably the only legitimately dangerous thing about the raid, which seemed to be composed mostly of people who could generously be described as âzaneyâ. I guess the theory is that the government have bullets so you need to dodge them.â Itâs unclear where the line between truth and parody blurs for Elixir, but when youâre dealing with a group of young people running like anime characters into a covert military base because of a Facebook event, I guess thatâs not a question much worth asking. I was actually there for a while before the raid practicing, living in a tent outside of The Little AâLeâInn. ÂI was actually there for a while before the raid practicing, living in a tent outside of The Little AâLeâInnâ â ElixirĮlixir, real name Elia, continues: âWith the Naruto run, you get very compact, you move very quickly, everything slows down around you, and the theory is that you can dodge bullets. The Naruto run itself was a meme popularised long before the Area 51 raid, a kind of outcast running technique for socially compromised young people, which, to a wider extent, the Naruto franchise also stood for. Which out of two million isnât a bad ratio.â I would say in the end there were like maybe 50-70 of us who actually went to Area 51 for the raid.
âThe idea was that if there were enough of us, then the government wouldnât be able to stop everyone. ÂI mean, basically it was a Facebook post that went viral for quite a few months before the raid was actually scheduled to happen,â Elixir explains. Dazed asked him if he could tell us a little more about the raid and why a load of kids mobilised in the name of emancipating extraterrestrials. Elixir ( an alien enthusiast and YouTuber, is the runner in question. Some of the most prolific reference the Naruto run. Towards the end of the uneventful roundup, a figure in a blue sweatshirt and hat sprints past, hunched forward, with arms outstretched behind: itâs a position known as the Naruto run, after the Japanese manga character Naruto Uzumakiâs style of speedy travel.ÂĪ number of memes and cultural responses have spawned from the Area 51 raid â the Lil Nas X video, a limited edition Bud Light, and a battle plan which included an army of Kyles âwith Monster Energy buffâ. Investigative reporter Joe Bartels, with a pained expression, provides the tour â though 1.7 million people clicked attending on the event, it highlighted an anticlimactic smattering of RVs, portaloos, and teenagers acting ironically. The segment then cuts to alien-hunter hotspot Rachel, a town with a population of 54, which seems to have at least doubled for the morning of the raid. Their special report â Area 51 Maniaâ addresses the culmination of one of the most prolific memes of 2019 thus far: the raiding of the covert military base in the Nevada desert, which originated from a Facebook event titled âStorm Area 51, They Canât Stop All of Usâ. ÂIt is â3, 2, 1, lift-offâ tonight for space fans and conspiracy theorists alike,â says KTNV Channel 13âs Trisha Keen, in the nasal vocal tones exclusive to US news anchors.
