The Area 51 Raid

Hey, what’s up! It's Nyx, and I'm here today to talk about the Area 51 raid that happened on Friday, September 20.

So, most of you reading this are probably humans, that is, members of the homo sapiens species. But there are many theories saying that aliens are real (and in my opinion, they probably are. I mean, there are thousands of planets and universes out there that our human brains can’t possibly even begin to comprehend.) And of course, if you are even slightly interested in aliens (or if you happen to be one living in secret), you probably heard something about the Area 51 raid that happened last Friday on September 20. 
Here’s a little bit of background information for those who don’t know much about Area 51. Area 51 is an air force base that’s a little outside Las Vegas, Nevada. One of the many conspiracy theories about that base is that there are aliens. Apparently, there were some people, including a retired Army colonel who worked there, said that they saw UFOs. Additionally, the retired Army colonel said that he got access to the technology and remains of an alien spaceship that crashed in Roswell. Other conspiracy theories include that Area 51 are collaborating with aliens for something big, and controlling the weather. Of course, there is a lot of secrecy around Area 51, so that doesn’t exactly help when you want to dispel the conspiracy theories. After all, if there’s really nothing going on, why is it so secretive?

Well, people all over the world wanted to find out. On July 2019, a college student named Matty Roberts created a Facebook event post that was initially a joke called “Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us”. People would meet at Rachel (a town closest to Area 51) early in the morning of September 20. A few days later, things escalated by a lot. More than 2 million people RSVPed and it got crazy! 
Matty Roberts decided to turn this raid into some alien-themed music festivals. Another town nearby, Hiko, decided to host its own alien event, and of course, there was Las Vegas. 3 events. 1 day.  Nothing too dramatic happened. Everyone had fun, and it was basically a party. People were dressed in alien suits and everything. Turns out that not all those 2 million people attended the raid. It was only a couple thousand people.

Of course, the Area 51 raid was not forgotten by us Nanoers. There were lots of people talking about it (in addition to the global climate strike that happened on that same day). There was even an Area 51 Nanofic made!

But can I be honest? If there are aliens on this planet right now hiding in secret, then know something. They are way more advanced than us. The fact that they sent a spaceship or some other vehicle full of their own kind to another planet? That’s way more than what we can do right now.

Feel free to leave a reaction or comment with your thoughts on the Area 51 raid!

Nyx out.

Biblio-Files: The Secret Garden

By
Hello good friends! Today we will be reviewing The Secret Garden. Published in 1911 by Frances Hodgson Burnett, it's a fantastic book about enjoying the outdoors and how much a good friend can help someone out. The good message and excellent writing make it a beloved classic still read today, over 100 years later. She also wrote "The Little Princess" and "Little Lord Fauntleroy," both books I have read and enjoyed, though I believe this is her best one. With its folksy characters and low-key plot, this book is perfect for readers who want to read at a slower pace. It talks a lot about the benefits of being outside and being kind to animals, but it doesn't feel overly preachy. The main characters are Mary, a sickly Indian girl, Dickon, a boy who can talk to animals, and Colin, the son of the master of the house. Together they bring a secret garden to life, becoming as strong and bright as the roses they grew within the ivy-covered walls. I, personall...

By
THE CHARACTER FILES 01. The Girl On Fire Hello everyone! And welcome to The Character Files , a weekly article I'll be writing that delves into analysis's of popular characters! Starting off, I'll cover the face of young adult dystopia herself - Katniss Everdeen. There will be spoilers for the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins, so be warned! From The Mockingjay Part 1 Risen from the Ashes (Background) “District Twelve. Where you can starve to death in safety.” -Katniss Everdeen, the Hunger Games   As were most of the non career districts, District 12, Katniss’ birthplace, was rife with poverty. Disease and starvation were rampant, many people dying from them. (It is interesting to note that, despite seeing ill people frequently since her mother treats them, Katniss is not desensitized to seeing sickness. In fact, she is one of the least desensitized to it.) And...

Comparing Digital Art Programs

By
The world of digital art programs can be a tricky plane to navigate. Whether you're a budding digital artist looking for beginners programs to start on or a professional artist with a bunch of experience, here is a quick list of some of the more well-known names in digital art! Krita  - FREE Krita is a free, open-source software that is becoming much more popular among digital artists. The interface has full customization, so you can fix it to look almost however you want. It gives you access to all  brushes, colors, and other settings from the beginning without extra purchases. It's also quite advanced and powerful. Some drawbacks of Krita are that there is a learning curve, as the interface can be quite tricky. It's also very laggy and slow, especially on older laptops.
