Maybe the OP can organize a flash mob of like 10,000 people. There's no way they could stop that many people. It'd be like sperm racing to the egg. At least one would make it!

Gives new meaning to red states and blue states.

It's the US military, they could stop them.
I bet they could. You're talking at least a couple hours travel time from the border to the Groom base, plenty of time to drop a few cluster bombs on any groups (it is a bombing range, after all), and pick off any stragglers with minigun fire from one of a handful of Apache helicopters.
Realistically once the first shot is fired, the flashmobbers would realize how real shit was about to get and pull a neck breaking 180.
This thread is approaching all-time-great status. This is why I fvcking love this board.
Run up to the front gate looking like Krupicka and ask the guard if you could fill up your water bottle. Grab an Area 51 pen as you walk past the front desk.
I've actually been inside area 51. I was doing a long run while training for Badwater and ran right past the warning signs. I spoke no English at the time (I am French) and had no idea what was going on. I started realizing that I was somewhere odd when jeeps began approaching me from all four directions. I just stopped and waited for them to get to me. They cuffed me and took me outside of the restricted area to a yokel police station where they questioned me in an underground room that was lightyears ahead of the above ground police station. It was like a cartoon where an old shack sits above ground but underground is a mansion.
Anyway, they realized that I was not an English speaker and a translator explained the situation to me. I ad never heard of Area 51 and it did not mean anything to me. I signed a few documents and was on my way.

Arrange a marathon nearby and tacitly divert the runners into the area.
Most of the employees fly in from Vegas every morning, via a dedicated terminal at McCarran Int'l Airport. I actually work with a guy who used to work there after he got out of the AF.
I think the best way in would be to sneak onto a plane. I have to assume that the security at the terminal is less than the base itself.
But my buddy WILL NOT say what is there. He's bound to a lifetime secrecy thing that could still get him in trouble if for some reason he was identified as a breach. I'm sure there is a reason he takes that so seriously.
The only thing he has said is, 'What do you think is the most likely and realistic scenario?' I took this to imply that it was more about military aircraft development than UFOs and aliens.
Wait... isn't this "Jason in Asia," the guy who was on here years ago talking about womanizing women in Asia before getting caught cheating um, I mean "DQ'd" at the Berlin Marathon after trying the same trick he pulled when he ran 2:18?

Also, that part of Nevada is just a boring old desert. Worked a few dozen miles away for about a week. There's nothing too exciting out there.
You probably also think that a gal with fake tits, collagen lip injections, dyed blonde hair, a fake tan and professionally done make up is "beautiful."
The Nevada high mountain desert IS beautiful, and great for training. On the Nevada highway that passed closest to Area 51 (NV 375) you have ideal roads for long distance running or bicycling. Real Nevadans will often stop and see you if you need a ride, food or water.
disguise Your self as a pizza delivery boy and have a friend deliver you to the front gates of the base...Tell them a pizza was ordered 24 minutes ago and you have a policy that if it is not delivered within half an hour it is free... so please let me in. Then drive in with the pizza, which is really a surveillance camera, snap the shots and GET OUT OF THERE
Better yet, disguise yourself AS A PIZZA and have your friend deliver you to the base. Make sure you look like a sweet Supreme pizza... the AF doesn't mess around and has high standards...they'll probably kill you if you're disguised as a Domino's pizza.

Classic. This plan is foolproof.

I'm not saying it cannot be done, but it's unlikely you or anyone can do it, because you have to overcome so many layers of security:
(1) you will need to wear a full body wet suit, leaving only your eye slits exposed. You need to wear it because your thermal signature will instantly set off heat detectors if you don't wear the suit. It gets cold in the dessert at night, which would make your thermal signature stand out even further. You'll need extra padding on your knees and hands. Why?
(2) you will be crawling no faster than 1 mph. If you got any faster, the motion detectors will be set off. The closest you can start from is 16 miles out, so you will only be able to cover half the distance each night. That means a two or three day attempt. If you start after dark and stop before light, you can only cover 8 miles the first night.
(3) You will need to wear a ghillie suit over the wet suit, lightly doused in deer scent. As dawn approaches the first night, find a good spot and bury yourself. To move during the daytime is suicide, so basically you sleep during the day and move slow at night. The deer scent is to defeat the human scent detectors, the ghillie suit is to break up your outline during the day. You want to appear as part of the foliage and scrub. If you could bury yourself into the ground, that would help too. No movement, or they will catch you.
With all this gear, you will need a source of water, probably a flexable water source on your back, with tubes running to your mouth. You are going to be sweating with all the gear, so you will need the water.
You might also need some shock-proof wire cutters, to get through the electric fences and barbed-wire.
This won't be an easy task, but if you train for it, and find the right night (a moonless night or two would probably help), it MIGHT be possible.
Let us know how it turns out. You'll be caught as soon as you arrive, of course, because you'll have no idea where to go or what to do once you arrive, but at least you can say you made it.
Personally, it would be much simpler to learn to fly a wood glider, paint it black, launch from 40 miles out at dusk, and fly it with some night vision goggles on. You could land right on the runaway. You'll probably be shot or arrest on sight, but it would be much simpler.
Favorite post so far. Wish I had half of the imagination necessary to write somthing like this.
Wait, what is the story of Mayeroff getting DQ'd from Berlin?
Forget trying to get in yourself. Use a poor man's NASA technique to get the good stuff.
Use a trebuchet to catapult a camera (with a parachute) as close to the air strip as possible. Then let the camera beam home the images. Sooner or later you'll see something.
They won't notice a tiny camera with thousands of acres of brush.

Yeah sure Monsieur, the Coneheads family also claimed to be from France .
Suprised no one has said this...dress up as an alien. Walk in the main gate like you're supposed to be there, make some small talk with the gaurds. "ooohhh the desert sunrise was beaaaauutiful this morning corporal smith!"
Or walk up, say "my spaceship broke down. You guys got a good mechanic?"
They'll never know.

Sure. Except that aliens do NOT refer to their vehicles as "spaceships". Get a freaking clue, dude!
