Feb 16,2020 6:11 am

Only several dozen showed up at Area 51 on Friday

The US military has apologised for a Tweet that threatened use of a bomber against "millennials" who tried to break into the secretive Area 51 base.

There were fears thousands could storm Area 51 on Friday after a Facebook event urged people to raid The Base .

The deleted Tweet - by a PR arm of the US military, DVIDS - showed a photo of a stealth bomber, stating it would be The Last thing raiders would see.

The military unit said the Tweet "in no way" reflected its stance.

What did the Tweet say?

The Tweet , posted on Friday on the Twitter account of the Defence Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS), stated: "The Last thing #Millennials will see if they attempt the #area51raid today" alongside a photo of military men and women standing in front of a B-2 stealth bomber.

On Saturday The Unit apologised, tweeting that an employee of its DVIDSHub account posted a Tweet that "in NO WAY supports the stance of The Department of Defence. It was inappropriate and we apologise for this mistake. "

It was created during the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union as a testing and development facility for aircraft.

The secrecy surrounding The Site has helped fuel many conspiracy theories.

Most infamous is The Claim that The Site hosts an alien spacecraft and the bodies of its pilots after they crashed at Roswell, New Mexico , in 1947. The US government says there were no aliens and the crashed craft was a weather balloon.

The US government did not officially confirm The Base existed until 2013.
