Many/most people here (Germany) know Area 51, because it appears in so much media. My impression: Except a small minority, most people here consider this a big joke (same for UFOs in general) and for us, the current UFO craze in the US it chuckleworthy at best. However, I guess the minority that actually believes this stuff has the same deep distrust of the government and "mainstream media" as people in the US that are actively believing it. Luckily, here it's just a small percentage for now.
