If any aliens make it to the "Storm Area 51 Basecamp" event Saturday in Hiko, Nevada, Arby's is making sure they get a taste of Planet Earth.

The chain has been hard at work over the last month developing a top-secret menu exclusively for the "Storm" Area 51 Basecamp event. After making the 2,000-mile trek across the country, the Arby’s food truck will serve four special menu items on Saturday at the Alien Research Center in Hiko, Nevada. They include:

• The Redacted On Rye Sandwich, a take on the Arby’s Rachel Sandwich with roasted turkey on toasted marble rye bread with Swiss cheese, slaw and thousand island dressing.
• The E.T. Slider, which has a chicken tender smothered in Arby's sweet Bronco Berry sauce on top of a slider bun.
• Arby’s Frying Objects, which consist of Arby's loaded Curly Fries topped with moon rocks.
• Galaxy Milkshake, a milkshake topped with fruit crunch that changes colors and becomes more tart as it is stirred.

In addition to menu items served from the Arby's food truck, the Area-51 Basecamp event will feature live music and alien-themed attractions, including an opportunity to visit the Alien Research Center, presentations from expert ufologists and an opportunity to meet the cast and watch an exclusive screening of Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell's Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers.
