They would either be arresed and jailed or, if they get violent, simply gunned doewn. Why not ? attempting a forced entery at a government facility is never a good idea; definately unwise.

Sigh.....Nearly 200K People Have Signed Up to Steal Alien Secrets from Area 51 in Late-Summer Raid

Pack your shades, your sunscreen and your coziest tinfoil hat, because the late-summer event of the season is happening in Nevada's scenic Area 51, and you're invited.
According to a tongue-in-cheek Facebook event called "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us," a ragtag army of alien hunters will meet up near the top-secret Air Force base in the predawn hours of Sept. 20, coordinate a plan of attack, then raid the grounds in search of captive aliens. Per the event's hosts (a page that posts memes and a guy who streams video games on Twitch), the delicate operation will involve running supernaturally fast — faster than the guards' bullets can fly — but will be worth it to "see them aliens."
So far, nearly 200,000 Facebook users have signed up to attend, with another 200,000 "interested" in the affair.
This event is, of course, a joke (please, do not raid this or any other military base). Area 51 — a massive plot of desert about 80 miles (129 kilometers) northwest of Las Vegas — is a top-secret military installation that is infamously well-guarded by fences, radars and heavily armed "camo dudes" in white trucks. After more than 60 years of operations, the base's primary purpose remains classified and its grounds restricted to the public, fomenting an aura of spooky secrecy that has intrigued all manner of skeptics and conspiracy theorists for decades.
This much is known about the base: It's huge, covering a total of 2.9 million acres (1.2 million hectares) and 5,000 square miles (12,950 square km) of restricted airspace. Officially, the base is part of the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), which is affiliated with Nellis Air Force Base; according to the Air Force, it is the largest combined air and ground space for peacetime military operations in the free world.
Since the Air Force set up shop there in 1955, Area 51 has hosted hundreds of nuclear weapons tests and has served as a training-and-testing ground for all manner of top-secret stealth aircraft, Live Science previously reported. If you believe the most popular conspiracy theory about the base, one of those aircraft may be an alien saucer that crash-landed in Roswell, New Mexico, in the late 1940s.
The U.S. military claimed that the mysterious object was a weather balloon (a 1994 Air Force report confirmed this to be true — albeit, a souped-up weather balloon designed to detect far-off nuclear fallout). However, conspiracy theorists insisted that the wreck was indeed an alien spacecraft, which had been subsequently transported to Area 51 to be broken apart, studied and put back together again. This theory gained traction in the 1980s, when a man claiming to have worked at Area 51 told the news media that he had actually seen scientists reverse engineer alien saucers there.
This man, it turns out, was a liar who never set foot on the base (he also lied about the colleges he went to and other past employment); but his stories gained enough attention that Area 51 had a new, permanent reputation as that eerie place in the desert where scientists might be tinkering with aliens. Subsequent tests of experimental, top-secret aircraft at the base have only strengthened this far-out legacy.
The allure of the mysterious desert base is undeniable. So, what happens if you do attempt to trespass into Area 51 and liberate the juicy alien secrets contained within? For starters, you'll probably be stopped at gunpoint by guards dressed in camo, as two intrepid adventurers experienced in 2016 after trying to sneak a camera through the base's back gate.
According to signs posted around the base, these infamous "camo dudes" are permitted to greet trespassers with deadly force — but, if past encounters are any indication, trespassers are more likely to be met with a hefty fine and a court date. When an SUV filled with tourists accidentally crossed into the base's restricted area a few years ago, the driver and four passengers were each cited with a $650 fine and a misdemeanor charge. The unwary passengers eventually got their charges dropped, but the driver had to pay up — and was banned from leading tours in the area for several years.
If you happen to join the joke raid proposed for this September, keep that man's story in mind. When it comes to unearthing the truth of Area 51, you may have only one shot. Choose your plan wisely.

swampy,
I have never been there but I assume Area 51 is desert, isolated, and nothing to support life like food or water.
These people will die from lack of water before they make it to the gate.
Anyone showing up will roast in the sun, and freeze at night when the sun goes down.
This is not a good way to die.
If they make it, then they will be shot.
The bodies are really at Wright-Patterson in Ohio anyway or maybe Homestead, Florida.
Jackie Gleason and President Nixon went to Homestead.

According to the Little Ale Inn, this is extremely remote country.
You will be detained face down on hot payment until the local Sheriff, who usually takes two hours, comes and picks you up.
You will be put on the National Terrorist List which means you will never fly on a plane again.
You will pay thousands of dollars in fines.
Of course, they could just shoot you and be done with it.
Most people will die from the elements and scorpions before they even start.
Their bodies will lay in the desert in such a remote place.

One has to wonder...
Did all these people registered for this jolly do so on line ?
with their email addresses.
Reminds me of the news item a few days ago concerning the 'question' that was to be added to the American Census form.
Trump apparently has dropped it. But he did mention that he has an even better way of doing the same thing. And he rattled of a few things that can be used to track people.
Big Brother now has a name. And it is Donald.

Nearly 1 Million People Join Facebook Event to Storm Area 51 to 'See Them Aliens'
By Johanna Li
Posted: 6:25 PM, July 12, 2019
Area 51 has always been notorious for its secrecy and security, but perhaps not for long.
Nearly a million people on Facebook said they were either interested in or going to an event titled “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop Us All”.
The tongue-in-cheek event, which seems to be hosted by Twitch streamer SmyleeKun and a meme account, invites followers to join them on Sept. 20 at the Area 51 Alien Center to plan their entry.
“If we naruto run,” the vague post began, referring to a Japanese anime-style sprint done hunched over with the arms outstretched behind the runner, “we can move faster than their bullets.
“Lets see them aliens,” the post concluded.
While organizers haven’t posted any additional details, followers seem to have taken the idea by storm, with diagrams of where the “rock throwers” should position themselves and plans of when they should all go to Del Taco to celebrate following the victory.
Some compared the event to D-Day, while others compared it to the Fyre Festival.

someones experimenting with the flash mob concept. They are not funny even if intended as a joke..Facebook is notorious for social behavior experiments. They are desperate to make up over 1/3 loss of users in US as it nears the fate of Myspace
