“Most of us live all the way out here for a reason. It’s to get away from things like this.” Communities near Area 51 brace for influx of UFO tourists.
— located within the Nevada Test and Training Range at the Nellis Air Force Base — almost 2 million people have RSVP’d on Facebook for the Sept. 20 gathering.
“This is the most overwhelmed I’ve ever felt in my entire life,” said Connie West, who co-owns a motel, bar and restaurant called Little A’Le’Inn with her mother in Rachel, a tiny town about 50 miles from Alamo. Since the end of June, her business has been inundated with calls about everything from room bookings to bands that want to play on her property during the event. Like Holaday, she’s heard the conspiracy theorists talk of invading Area 51 for years, but nothing of this magnitude.
“There’s not a way or walk of life that hasn’t come through those doors in the last 31 years,” West said of the conspiracy theorists, UFO believers and astronomy buffs she’s hosted. “All are welcome.” Michael Shepherd, 44, a Rachel resident, is concerned about the trash that the influx of visitors could leave behind.
Ingram, a mother of three who has lived in Alamo for 12 years, said she’s excited for the business, but is concerned about safety, noise and traffic jams on the two-lane highways that connect the valleys in Lincoln County.
