Area 15/Facebook/PornhubIt’s going to take a lot of planning to successfully storm Area 51 and it appears a lot of people have turned to Pornhub to do their research as searches on the site have gone up 60,000 per cent since the raid went viral.
The US military probably aren’t too concerned about those kinds of Area 51-related scenarios actually taking place but I suppose it’s good to be prepared for every eventuality.
The spike in searches has come about as a result of a Facebook event titled ‘Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us’, which has over 2 million people – and counting – on board with a plot to invade the base. Don’t worry, if you don’t want to risk getting on the wrong side of the US Air Force you can watch the drama unfold on a live stream.

According to Pornhub insights, searches for ‘Area 51’ surged from zero to 160,000 in just 4 days, starting from July 12. There were nearly 59,000 searches for the highly classified location on July 16 alone.
The humans behind the site revealed the search for alien-related porn in general was popular even before the Area 51 plot went viral, though the hugely popular event has certainly encouraged an increase.
Over the last year more than 30,000 people probed the site for alien videos on an average day but as the brilliant Area 51 memes began to spread far and wide across the internet the popularity of ‘alien’ searches increased by 217 per cent on July 2 and then again by 199 per cent on July 15.
The most popular extra terrestrial-related search was ‘alien impregnation’, while ‘alien sex’, ‘alien belly’, and ‘alien breeding’ also made the top 20 list.
Women have been found to be 33 per cent more likely to search for alien-related videos when compared to men, while Pornhub users aged 18 to 24 are 67 per cent more likely to search the genre over all other age groups.
In the US, visitors from Alaska came out on top as the most likely to search for alien porn, by 107 per cent more than the US average. Worldwide, visitors from the Czech Republic are proportionately the most likely to search for aliens by 67 per cent.
Pornhub InsightsI have to say, going through Pornhub is probably the only way people will ever have an up-close and personal experience with Area 51. Don’t get me wrong, ‘naruto running’ and throwing rocks are good strategies, I’m just not sure the military will give in – especially after the warning they issued on the matter!
