About 40 miles to the east, the small town of Hiko planned an event called “Storm Area 51 Basecamp” at a gift shop dubbed the Alien Research Center (pictured) September 19, 2019. Organizers promised musicians, artists and “prominent ufologists”, and by Thursday had sold 3,200 tickets, according to Linda Looney, the shop's manager. “This whole thing has been a shock to this little community”, she said, adding that organizers had hired 15 security guards and a private ambulance and ordered 80 portable toilets. “It's going to be really cool. I'm excited”. (Photo by Jim Urquhart/Reuters)
