Solar Observatory Evacuated, FBI Involved, Sunspot, NM

But evacuating the place AND being all hush hush about it would imply that it's something that they want to keep secret, yet everybody knows that they want to test lasers to recharge the drones it has been reported on internet, so it doesn't explain why they would be hush hush (and comment that it's for security reasons) when they could have just said yeah we kicked everyone out to test our lasers for drones and no one would have given a fuck.

I don't think it's related coz it doesn't make sense to not comment about it.

The vast majority of blogspot links are a no-no for some reason.

Chinese were spying on White Sands Missile Range tests via antennae array at observatory site.

JEEZ how many times I gotta say this....try reading through the thread.....

It is not a town. Sunspot is a facility/compound containing, observatory, staff housing and a tiny post office. The FACILITY/ COMPOUND has been closed and evacuated.
Why would a little post office remain open. It is on the facility/compound.

The facility is closed. This is the mystery, not the stink in' post office.

Ok I found this, take it for what it's worth:

Can’t stand the conspiracy theories being circulated on the internet right now about Sunspot. As a 15-year former resident of the observatory, I offer to you the following FACTS:

1) Although the observatory runs under the auspices of AURA (the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy), operations of the National Solar Observatory have long since CEASED on the telescope. Any current research operations are being funded and utilized by New Mexico State University. There is only minimal NSO staff employed working at the site now and their full time focus is in continuing shut down operations in Sunspot.

2) There are minimal residents of Sunspot anymore. For that matter there only remains one NSO maintenance employee and his family plus a handful of support staff from NMSU living in housing. Most housing was vacated by former NSO employees (myself included) more than a year ago (and in some cases 2-3 years ago).

3) Radio astronomy has never been a “focus” of research conducted in Sunspot. Current data from the Dunn Solar Tower (if any) belongs to NMSU.

4) AURA operates under the auspices of the National Science Foundation, a federal agency. Therefore any kind of “investigation” or threat would be considered Federal, thus the FBI.

5) Although there is a moderate “G2” geomagnetic storm being reported at present (see: www.spaceweather.com). This is NOT necessarily an anomaly. These storms happen. Which is also why solar astronomers study the Sun.

6) Solar science has successfully been conducted in Sunspot since 1949. There has not been a full-time resident NSO solar scientist at the observatory since early 2017.

7) The phones are not being answered in Sunspot because the site is VACATED. (No conspiracy theory there.)

8) Any Mercury “spill” would fall under the auspices of OSHA. Mercury used in the Dunn Solar Tower is housed in a sealed turret at the top of the telescope and is monitored.

9) You Tube, the Internet and other non-fact based hypotheses are not based on scientific thought. Check your sources people!

10) Rumors of “aliens,” “alien contact,” etc. are nothing but nonsense. Hell, we even circulated a few of these funnies just for the laugh.

11) Official information should be released from AURA directly.

12) Finally, I want to add that there are many former residents and employees of the National Solar Observatory that are just as “in the dark” as the regular public.

Making up disparaging comments about the science, the mission, and the community of Sunspot is not only repulsive but ignorant. We were once a proud little community with the best solar scientists in the world.

The contributions of Sunspot and the National Solar Observatory at Sacramento Peak will continue to influence solar science for DECADES.

As the former President of the Sunspot Community, I will always be a PROUD Sunspotter and like others would like to know the cause of such a closure.

But I’m not willing to sit by and allow pseudoscience, and rumors tear down a legacy of scientific research. Please stop circulating non-verified FACT.

His employment there is verifiable on a list someone posted of current employee's in this thread. His fb picture is the same one used on the employee list.

... china and russia have "war games" right now ...

... but maybe it's not for "war"? ...

New Mexico State University Director has no idea why it closed either. Article dated today. Described the situation ad extremely calm.

Okay, that the facility was closing - EDIT: or that the operations were shutting down - is the same information I got back in 2015 from the retired AF man who said he ran the place. He told me he was trying to sell some of the equipment.

BUT, as far as "aliens" go....I'm telling you straight up, I stood and watched a very, very, VERY large craft slowly lower down into Sac Mts. early one morning. It wasn't right at Sunspot, it sat down between Sunspot and Alamo, further back into the mountain range.

Perhaps whatever that craft was didn't have diddlysquat to do with the observatory, but I know what I saw, and it was more than remarkable.

Trump just declared National Emergency status via executive order, blaming it on election hacking, which is complete B.S that happened ages ago.

The last National Emergency was 9/11 and it gives powers to the Military. This is highly unusual. Anyone else joining the dots here ?

Sorry, I'm not that interested in reading such a long thread, but thanks for the info.
