“We’re only a teeny tiny region on the facet of the highway,” West stated. “We’re widely known, sure, but that’s lots of humans. Even if it’s the handiest 1% [of people who RSPV’d], it’s still a variety of human beings to need to cope with. We’ve never had to cope with something like that before.”
No rely on what the raiders try to do; West said she plans to have geared-up accommodations inclusive of open campgrounds, showers, and water stations.

“I’d say they’re approximately out as far out as the aliens are,” Broxson said. “I mean, I’ve seen human beings exit there and get drawn upon. There are sensors everywhere, so I suppose it’s gonna be thrilling. I’d want to videotape it.”
According to the Daily Dot’s search, most houses listed on Airbnb in a 150-mile radius of the bottom are booked for the weekend of the raid, as nicely. Airbnb did not immediately respond to the Daily Dot’s request for comment.
