FBI closes Solar Observatory over security

[tb-av]

On Thursday last week, the National Solar Observatory in Sunspot near Alamogordo was evacuated, along with a nearby post office.

The FBI won't say how involved it is in the investigation but did say the security issue isn’t about UFO’s or aliens.

As of now the neighbors who live in the community have no idea when they'll be able to go back to their homes.

Well.... now we know how Trump was colluding with the Russians. Trump can dial up all the Hurricanes he wants be he can't hide what he's been up to with the Russians in the Solar Observatory.

Seriously though it does seem like an observatory would be some sort of hack-able situation. Don't they use a lot of radio communication to reach out into space for that sort of thing. Seems like some smart person could hide information within other information if need be. ..... but not letting residents go home... that sounds like something all together different.

Maybe RocketMan is going to target it with his space ray for proof of concept?

I wonder if there is fissile material used in astronomy at all? That seems a potential here.

Typical terribly researched and poorly presented C- high school English composition (at best) local (to me) click bait news article. I disagree about the presence of aliens- if this place is occupied by non-native beings it is obviously the undocumented kind, aggressive and hostile to any who don’t share their radical beliefs.
Jokes aside, it seems locals have been displaced- Holloman AFB and White Sands missile range are near Alamogordo. I wonder if there’s some super secret stuff happening.

Thanks for posting this, I kept meaning to do it.

The world will lose their ever flipping mind if aliens are contacting us, like as in America, and Trump gets to talk to aliens first.

This could be the ultimate trolling that puts the lefties over the edge.

LOL, now that would be classic. Even the SouthPark guys couldn't write that one.


Aliens: All your base are belong to us.

Trump: You suck!

Aliens: Lower your shields and prepare to be boarded!

Trump: I'll destroy your universe and the space horse you rode in on.

LOL, wow, yeah, that would be a trip. Trump greets aliens from another galaxy. Of course the media would accuse him of improper space alien etiquette or some such.

ah, it's probably nothing. Elon Musk probably smoked some more pot and tried to drill a tunnel under it.

Foreign espionage. Direct view down of Holloman AFB and White Sands Missile Range from that mountain. If I wanted to spy on both of those facilities, that's where I'd set up my gear. The fact that techs were up on the antennas indicates they were concerned about the electronics involved with that equipment. I would guess the Peoples Republic of China. We've had other issues with their scientists here in New Mexico at Los Alamos and Sandia Labs.

Would FBI be the ones to jump on that though? Seems like that would be DHS.

Would rank right up there with Nixon being the ONLY world leader to have his name on a plaque, left on the moon. And ironically it will likely be one of the last man made artifacts to exist in approx. 500 million years.

The FBI is the Federal Agency with arrest powers involving foreign Agents involved in espionage within the US. I am guessing this is some high level espionage going on here.

Haha. I haven't heard that phrase in years. A guy I worked with had it on a bumper sticker, too.
