[theking]

Area 51 just had 17 earthquakes in a single day
Aliens? Nuclear tests?
Something strange is happening underneath Area 51. According to United States Geological Survey data earlier this week, over 100 people have reported at least 17 earthquakes within the span of only 24 hours not far from the infamous, highly classified military base. The comparatively shallow events about 2.5 miles below the ground ranged between 2.5 and 4.4 in magnitude, with the strongest reportedly recorded in “an unusual place to get an earthquake,” according to geophysicist Stefan Burns. Conspiracy theories are already spreading online about aliens, UFOs, and other spooky phenomena, but one hypothesis at least initially sounds more plausible and unnerving. Based on the region’s past along with recent domestic policy reversals, there is technically a not-zero chance that the U.S. re-started underground nuclear tests. That said, don’t go racing to the underground bunkers just yet.

Took these photos when I was in the area:
