Supplemental context

Storm Area 51 began as a joke Facebook event in 2019 and attracted far more online responses than physical attendance. Nearby gatherings and festival plans show how an online joke can create practical consequences for communities. Future readers can compare clicking an attendance button with actually traveling somewhere, while keeping alien-themed humor separate from evidence about extraterrestrial life.

Creator/community: Matty Roberts, online participants, local residents and event organizers Place/era: United States; viral Facebook event and Nevada gatherings in 2019

Context and limits
