Laura McAndrews is a United States Air Force spokeswoman known for her involvement in addressing public interest in UFO-related topics. In July 2019, she issued an official statement warning against the viral 'Storm Area 51' Facebook event, which humorously proposed raiding the secretive Nevada base to uncover aliens. Her response emphasized that Area 51 is an active military training range and discouraged unauthorized access, amid widespread memes and public attention.
