Forget Area 51: People Are Planning On Storming Loch Ness To Find The Legendary Monster Lurking Beneath Its Waters

They say there’s safety in numbers, and a couple of weeks ago, someone decided the best way to test out that theory was to assemble as many people as possible to storm the gates of Area 51, a heavily-armed government base that in all likelihood houses a secret weapon capable of making these fearless raiders poop their pants in harmony.

While the man responsible for the movement says he was only goofing around when he made the viral Facebook event, it appears there are more than a few people out there who are incredibly serious—including this jabroni.

As of right now, at least one hotel near Area 51 has been totally booked and the military has been forced to issue a warning to potential stormers while reminding them they blew away a dude who attempted a solo mission earlier this year.

As of this writing, close to two million people have RSVPed but only time will tell how many of them will actually show up in Nevada on September 20th in an attempt to find out what the government has been hiding from us (and, based on what I’ve seen, possibly clap some thicc alien cheeks).

However, if you’re in the mood to solve an eternal mystery but don’t want to deal with the risk of getting vaporized by a giant laser gun the government refashioned after it shot down a UFO, then I might have something that’s slightly more up your alley.

According to The New York Times, someone is now doing what they can to organize the masses to storm Loch Ness in search of the legendary monster that supposedly lurks below its waters (a creature dubbed “dat big boi” by the event’s creator).

25,000 people have currently signed up for the event, which is scheduled to take place the day after the Area 51 raid to give any survivors time to make their way to Scotland if they’re so inclined.

While the Air Force might not currently be thrilled about the Area 51 situation, Loch Ness officials say anyone is welcome to visit the lake but warn they won’t have enough lifeguards on hand if hordes of people are stupid enough to wade into the frigid waters (the lake is 750 deep at its lowest point).

Something tells me Nessie doesn’t have to worry too much about getting his spot blown up (as opposed to the Area 51 crowd, who should be genuinely worried about literally getting blown up).
