An organizer of an event called 'Area 51 Basecamp' had expected 5,000 people to show up; he got 500 on Friday. So he's canceling day two.
People dressed in costumes visit an entrance to the Nevada Test and Training Range near Area 51, Friday, Sept. 20, 2019, near Rachel, Nev. People came to visit the gate inspired by the "Storm Area 51" internet hoax.
“We put on a safe event for the people that showed up,” Wright said. “But we had to make the decision today because it costs tens of thousands of dollars to staff each day.”Several dozen campers still at the site can stay until Sunday, he added. “This is the most fabulous time,” West said. “I’m just so grateful that people came. This is their event as much as it is mine.”In Nye County, Sheriff Sharon Wehrly reported no one showed up at a main entrance and an auxiliary gate at the once-secret Area 51 U.S. Air Force facility.
