The creator of that Facebook group about storming Area 51 has finally been revealed and spoken about the buzz surrounding what started out as a joke. For those out there that believe this event is truly legitimate, just remember that the description of said event states “If we naruto run, we can move faster than their bullets. Let’s see them aliens.”
CNN states that on June 27, Matty Roberts, who lives in California, created the Facebook page as a joke, not realizing that millions would rally behind his battle cry to “see them aliens” at the Air Force facility in Nevada.
Roberts said the idea came to him after podcaster Joe Rogan interviewed Area 51 whistleblower Bob Lazar, who claims to have worked with alien technology while employed by the government. “I just thought it would be a funny idea,” claims Roberts.
“I waited for like three days and there were like 40 people and then it just completely took off out of nowhere,” he told CNN affiliate KLAS-TV. “It was pretty wild.”
Roberts told KLAS he has declined interviews as interest was skyrocketing because he thought if he revealed his identity, he might have FBI agents showing up at his door.
“I was just like, the FBI’s going to show up at my house and it got a little spooky from there,” he said.
Maybe the FBI will start a Facebook event titled ‘Let’s Storm Matty Roberts House’ for some sweet revenge. Poetic justice, don’t you think?
Just kidding, please don’t do that. Cheers!
