(Reuters) - A U.S. military unit apologised on Saturday and deleted a tweet that used the spectre of a stealth bomber being deployed against any young people who tried to break into the Area 51 base in Nevada.
The tweet, posted on Friday on the Twitter account of the Defence Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS), took aim at UFO fans and curiosity seekers who poured into the Nevada desert this week, after an online campaign to "storm" the U.S. military base long rumoured to house government secrets about extraterrestrial life and spaceships.
