Sunspot Natl Obs. in NM shut down Sept. 6, 2018

Post by Maria »

At first only the local news reported this event when Sunspot National Observatory and the local Sunspot Post Office were shut down and evacuated using Black Hawk helicopters and FBI agents. Sunspot is not too far from Roswell and White Sands, so yes, there are lots of conspiracy theories floating around.

Then a week later, around September 12, the main stream media finally picked up the story.

Here is a more scientific video that explains why this Observatory was shut down. Again, this is only hypothetical, but it sounds more realistic than the theory that involves those little green leprechauns from Mars or Ireland. :lol:

Take a look.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

The website below claims that the Janitor caused the shutdown of the entire National Observatory and the Post Office in Sunspot, New Mexico.

How could a lowly janitor do such a deed?

A federal search warrant reveals that Sunspot Solar Observatory was shut down as FBI agents conducted computer forensic searches for child pornography. ...

Code: Select all

An investigation by the FBI revealed that a janitor is the main suspect in the search, however he has not been charged with a crime even though his name in on the warrant.

The warrant states the suspect would use the observatory Wifi and a personal laptop to download the child pornography.

Eww -- terrible if the story is actually true, and he is not a scapegoat.
Strange that the whole place was evacuated.
Will it reopen once the investigations are completed ?

I am trying to find credible news sources, but there are a lot of wild theories still on the Net.

Below is one credible website announcing the opening of the Sunspot Solar Observatory on Monday, Sept. 17, 2018 with guards posted for extra security due to the expected increased numbers of guests.

Another youtube video talked about the recent discovery of a dead body on one of the nearby hiking trails.
I will not post that video because it had a lot of weird spooky stuff in it.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
