Area 51 invasion finally adds up

Naiya Gates, Staff Writer

Located in Southern Nevada, a mystery has not gone unnoticed. Currently trending on social media, the topic of Area 51 has been explored in the form of memes, videos, and articles and many conspiracy theories. The rumored hiding place for government discoveries from outer space leaves viewers questioning the impossible. Gated and armed, few can enter the area. The U.S. government claims that it is just a highly classified Air Force facility. Skeptical of their honesty, people are developing their own theories to explain this enigma. Are meetings being held here with extraterrestrials? Are they studying alien technology to structure our own aircrafts? Is life being contained here that is not from our galaxy?

Countless theories involve aliens, and many don’t add up, but I found one that does…literally. Remember these numbers. Area 51 is approximately 3million square miles. It is about 150miles from Vegas which is known for gambling and has 104 casinos. It is also close to a town called Rachel, which has a population of 98. Theword alien has 3syllables. 1conspiracy is that YouTube makeup artist Jeffree Star is an alien that lives there; after all, he did release an Alien eyeshadow pallet about a year ago. Jeffree Star’s company/business also released a bag in the shade “alien green” for $25. The newest eyeshadow palette he created has 24shades. (3+150-104+98)÷3+1+25-24=51. The number 51 specifies the map location of Area 51 and also the result of that equation, which can only mean that Jeffree Star is an alien and Area 51 is all his property. It is probably his exclusive vacation spot. I know… wow.

Many people planned to raid Area 51 on Sept. 20. I’m sure the raiders were surprised to find that this internet sensation is an extraterrestrial and is the only thing inhabiting Area 51. They were probably be surprised to get past the gates only to walk straight onto the set of a makeup tutorial. All would have been considered a success, though, if someone came back with an autograph.
