'Storm Area 51' attendance peaked at 3,000, allowing authorities on Saturday to begin scaling back resources.
Published 10:34 PM EDT Sep 21, 2019But the number of visitors that descended on this Extraterrestrial Highway town 150 miles from Las Vegas to “storm” Area 51 peaked at 3,000, allowing authorities on Saturday to begin scaling back resources.
“It definitely put a damper on their party and their enjoyment,” said Holt, the emergency manager. “That was an ally to us.”Meanwhile, an amalgam of all-in festival campers and tourists who stopped for a glimpse of the mysterious gathering remained “orderly” as the live music from Alienstock burned into the night.
As of Saturday, six people had been arrested – all but one for trespassing. Car crashes included two vehicle-versus-cow incidents and a rollover that sent a man to the hospital. To Higbee, the challenges that come with preparing for the unknowns of a viral event sweeping into a small town taught leaders here an important lesson – an “eye-opener.”
