There’s a Utah version of the Area 51 raid. It’s called 'Storm the Church Vault.’

Refreshment assignments have already been handed out. Someone has promised to bring funeral potatoes. Another says they’re making green Jell-O.

But instead of going to a church gathering, the group is planning to meet at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon and, using strength in numbers, break into the LDS Church’s secret vault to reveal any artifacts held inside.

The hoax event, called “Storm the Church Vault, They Can’t Stop All of Us,” is a play on the pretend raid of Area 51 that has recently gained national attention. Except it’s a uniquely Utah version.
