Does anyone have first hand information the Sunspot, NM closure of the observatory and post office?

[W54/XM-388]

I was wondering if anyone had reliable or first hand information on the story that has been in the news the past couple days about the goings on in Sunspot, NM

Seems a bit interesting
Evacuate & shut down the observatory
Close the local post office
Chase some people out from local residences
FBI hanging around for some days
Nobody saying anything about why.

What seems strange is why did the local post office & some residences get cleared out as well?

Maxine Waters farted on the main floor. The facility might not ever be of use again.

 

[Mike_Honcho]

Thinking out loud - what practical matters about government facilities - particularly two dissimilar government entities, would force a shut down?

Something stored and something frequently shipped that isn’t healthy to be around comes to mind.

Simple mismanagement / fraud / corruption would not seem to be reason to shut down an apple and an orange.

Ask Frank our HFMIC...he knows everything about the space aliens...I think he talks to them

Maybe the Russians want the uranium they paid the clinton foundation for, and that's where we used to keep it when we still had some.

Security concerns

Sunspot Solar Observatory 'closed indefinitely' due to ...

sunspot, n.m. — A popular observatory has been closed for a week now, but no one is saying why. On Thursday last week, the National Solar Observatory in Sunspot near Alamogordo was

That is up near Cloudcroft about 90 miles from me. Have not heard anything about this but if it includes the Post Office than it is not a far stretch for the imagination what might be going on. The FBI is in my building and I have not seen them now that I think about it.

Don't think this one will be as big a idiot magnet as the Jade Helm moron fest couple years back .
this guys and idiot, and a internet conspiracy geek gold mine right there . True it's abandoned Fed. property . but No Keep Out, or Posted Security detail . Because there ' REALLY ' is nothing important to see here .

Say it with me: He was buying ammo.

No, I'm in Roswell. This is very very important new development. Especially, that X-Files DVD up in there like that. I saw a Navy training flight coming on to Runway 17 and they disappeared. Strange shit going in. My fucking dogs are howling in broad daylight and that only happens at night.

 

[Alphatreedog]

Closed the observatory due to eye damage from seeing Uranus .
What ? Could happen . They ordered eye bleach and administered
right at the Post office counter . Mystery solved .

I knew you lived too close to Roswell.

I trade oil. There was a vessel called the Titan Uranus that I wanted to take on long term charter in order to put something thick, black and nasty in her. The price was right, but management said ‘No’

Mercury spill. Someone slammed a door and an 8' fluorescent tube hidden behind it fell and shattered.

Major spill

Also, could be this spreading around everybody there...

 

[308pirate]

I'm not leaving my house, FBI or not.

As for what's going on...............

 

[sirhrmechanic]

My first thought was that something like nuclear material is missing. Does a solar observatory have nuclear material? Good question? But seems like a better explanation to me than aliens visiting.

Buy more penicillin

 

[PolarisBreach]

i'm thinking that some foreign (human) entity installed some sensors on the tower. The facility has existed for awhile but was just handed over to new management. New guys come in, start doing an inventory, and find some black boxes that aren't documented anywhere. The tower is in close proximity to other DoD/IC facilities, so it's reasonable to assume that sensors installed at the station could potentially be used to spy on those facilities.

He's been here all along, masquerading as AJ. When AJ got back from Alaska, they did the pod people body switch.

"Look to the skies..."

When they found him in Sunspot, he was doing just that....

Run Jerry, they're coming to take you awaaayyyy...!

Aparently very large amounts of mercury are used, and the material is in a vat. If a thief gained entrance to the facility and stole mercury, he could cause havoc by dumping the mercury in a water supply or other sensitive area.

 

[c1steve]

UPDATE 9/12/18 4PM PST The issue may be related to Mercury (the metal, not the planet). On a tip from a science journalist friend who covers telescopes and who has been there, I verified the observatory uses a vat of liquid mercury as a float bearing for the giant solar telescope. According to an internal NSO/NMSU document, that bearing is “high-risk” during maintenance. If there was a major mercury spill, it might explain why the Feds are there, with FBI providing security. The amount of Mercury is said to be in the “tens of gallons” range, which is next to impossible to come by in the commercial market these days, and if it were weaponized, it would make a very nasty dirty bomb. Perhaps there’s some security issue with the mercury on-site.

A zensitive area like Uranus .

 

[Bender]

Look up what Mercury does to Aluminium. It’s cool af.

 

[Sean the Nailer]

To make the plot thicker, observatories aren't the only thing that uses mercury float bearings.

I wonder why then the local post office and some other residences were cleared out?

Probably nothing to do with anything, but last month the main mail sort center that services my area shut down for a week due to "Mercury spill" the amount was never confirmed, the initial news reports were some wild amount. No mail for almost a week.

Paging @Lowlight , maybe some of your time travelling Chinese buddies stopped by for a visit...

So, maybe someone was mailing mercury and they traced it to this place?

A not crazy conspiracy theory could be that somebody with evil intent had gotten a job there, was stealing some of the extra stored mercury for something and then mailing it from the local post office to buddies in another part of the country.

It would be a lot more plausible than somebody trying to hide some solar / alien event.
