FILE - In this July 22, 2019 file photo, Grace Capati looks at a UFO display outside of the Little A'Le'Inn, in Rachel, Nev., the closest town to Area 51. The originator of the "Storm Area 51" internet hoax is citing concerns about organization and funding for withdrawing from an event called "Alienstock" scheduled next week in the remote Nevada desert. Matty Roberts said in interviews Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2019 in Las Vegas that he was worried events hosted by innkeeper Connie West in the tiny town of Rachel might not succeed. West told The Associated Press she has 22 musical and comedic acts booked and her Sept. 19-21 festival at the Little A'Le'Inn will go on.
