People Gather At Area 51 Gate — But No Signs Of Aliens Yet

HIKO, Nev. (AP) — About 75 individuals arrived sooner than required Friday at an entryway at the once-mystery Area 51 army installation in Nevada — at the time designated by a web hoaxster to “storm” the office to see space outsiders — and at any rate two were kept by sheriff’s agents.

The “Tempest Area 51” welcome brought forth celebrations in the minor Nevada towns of Rachel and Hiko closest the military site, and an over two-hour drive from Las Vegas.
