Many of us Americans grew up hearing stories and legends about Area 51, a United States Air Force facility in Nevada that's long been rumored to be the home of extraterrestrial research conducted by the government.

Some people on Facebook apparently decided that it was time to find out what exactly they're doing in there once and for all. Aptly named "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All Of Us" the Facebook group has dedicated the hours of 3am through 6am on Friday, September 20th during which attendees will break into the facility to "see them aliens."

How will they dodge security, you ask? By Naruto-running faster than any incoming bullets. Easy.

No one is totally sure whether the people involved in this are serious about doing this, but regardless, memers have been taking the opportunity to roast the crap out of the situation.

Look, out of good conscience we can't really recommend that you attend this, but we also can't stop you so what the hell. Honestly, there are way too many memes for us to share them all with you, so enjoy the following and check out the official event Facebook for tons more!

Donald Trump's "Space Force" proposal is officially coming to fruition, according to an announcement made by Vice President Mike Pence this morning. Pence stated that the Pentagon has started the planning process for the Space Force which, if authorized by Congress, will constitute the sixth branch of United States Military.

The announcement comes two months after Trump called for a Space Force on the grounds that the US should have the potential to protect its military dominance in space against the likes of China and Russia, who have begun making their own respective outer-space advancements. Specifically, a Space Force would serve to defend American satellites from attack.

China and Russia are currently looking to "reduce US military effectiveness," Pence said in a report by USA Today.

Don't get too comfortable with the idea of having a Space Force yet, however. The Trump Administration still needs to get approval from Congress in order to receive funding, although Pence appears hopeful that they are gaining support for the plan.

Should the Administration receive the necessary funding, Pence stated in his speech that the Space Force will be completed by 2020, and that a US Space Command will be created beforehand, drawing officers and forces from other current military branches.

People on the internet have been offering their thoughts on the Space Force, many more snarky than others. What do you think? Let us know in the comments!
