Storm Area 51 Festival Canceled Because It Was a 'Possible Humanitarian Disaster'

“Due to the lack of infrastructure, poor planning, risk management, and blatant disregard for the safety of the expected 10,000+ AlienStock attendees, we decided to pull the plug on the festival,” a message on AlienStock’s website reads.

The local town has been actively warning people on its website not to come, noting that many local residents are armed and would be willing to defend their property.
