I heard it was closed for lack of funding. I have a friend up there in Timberon who's going to ask around.

Ah, yes. I know when places around here close for lack of funding, the FBI always shows up and shuts down the post office and evacuates everybody...

See my point in my post above ...
:

Heres the video I referenced earlier folks, this is the one where the person apparently went through the barrier and found the place abandoned.

I did not see the original video, apparently it had been taken down due some copyright type thing the first time around.

ETA here is another video from the same person, this time they are walking near the observatory, the video quality is noticeably poor compared to the other video. m.imgur.com...

Interesting video. I wonder if the building with the red truck is the fire station that’s out there. I live in a relatively rural area and our fire station looks similar. There’s an overhead map with buildings labeled floating around that may provide insight. My phone (where I’ve got it saved) won’t allow me to upload it right now, unfortunately.

Edit to add: I can’t fathom why such a video would get a copyright strike. That seems a bit odd and may warrant some looking into.

This would seem to support my hypothesis. No activity, no investigation going on, just dead, empty, abandoned, shut down. Converted overnight into a ghost town.

I did an antenna search of the towers at Cloudcroft. Interesting to say the least for 3 or 4 of them. I'm not gonna post them here, Search here:

Antenna Search

With 2 or 3 towers, there are 22 antennas, 1 tower carries multiple antennas. Look at the licensees.

ETA, I used Corona Ave. as a street address...

I don't think those are planets. Not at the same exact size- and well- there's only ONE planet that could fit the size requirement, that'd be Venus. Mercury is so close, it'd be a tiny blob.

Another thing to ponder as well... if those are planets- where's the atmosphere that would catch the light of the sun and diffuse it? Venus again would be a blur, not a solid black disk.

*ponders a second* Why are there 2 in focus black disks, and nothing is out of focus at all? ????

It is the moon.

Going in 2 diff directions? Is it drunk?

It also paused the first wander by- or it looked like it did on the video.

Edit note: I'm sneezing my head off- so errors shall be creeping in...

read it online, somehow it goes between the camera as it passes behind and in front of the earth.(so they say)

Radioactive issue hasn't been thrown out yet so here it is.

I'm trying to input information on that antenna website but it's being really laggy at the moment..is it worth the time to restart my comp and save all my opened tabs ?

Never thought of this scenario. From a forum on www.ar15.com.

You know this is all going down on a very significant date for Muslim terrorists.

It's possible they found something regarding a planned dirty bomb or other agent in the area, with a sympathizer working in the lab. Could be that the area, or the lab was the gathering point for the launch of the attack, and that the attack was to take place against the air base.

The feds got wind of it.

It makes sense to why they were evacuating everybody and everything, and shutting down the observatory.

It makes sense that the feds are putting up antenna with instruments that can detect those things, and also possible communications signals between members of a terrorist cell that are using something like hand radios instead of cell phones. That would also make sense as to the electronic warfare aircraft in the sky, as they can cover more area.

Also would make sense to have as many aircraft on "exercise" from the base as possible, if they think this thing can do enough damage to the air base, I would suppose due to contamination.

It also makes sense for the feds to be hush hush about it.

If there are holes in my theory, I'm sure one of you guys can point them out. I'm just guessing here, but a serious guess this time.

Also found this information on the forum. Has anyone on this thread mentioned about SOHO being shut down for the next 2 to 3 weeks?

Uh oh. The link on the SOHO page for where you can get current solar images goes here umbra.nascom.nasa.gov... which says: "Note: SOLIS images SOLIS instrumentation is being moved and we do not expect current images again before early September." Strange times indeed

I did post that second link earlier but that was dismissed rather early on.

I've been frequenting that forum a bit too, some of those people have some good info to share.

a reply to: Fiscal

I couldn't tell you any definitive answer at the moment, and it seems like most forums have kinda moved on, as expected.

I'm guessing most people here are hanging around looking at the updates and doing their own searching. I'd rather this thread didn't die too soon, I hope we can keep it going.

a reply to: threeeyesopen

Sorry about that, didn't see your post. Nothing should be dismissed at this point in time. Interesting mystery. Good to see so many people digging for information.

a reply to: shawmanfromny

No worries I did find the timing rather interesting too..I haven't totally dismissed anything yet, and I do appreciate the knowledge gained from this site.

There hasn't been anything to bring me back from the sidelines in a while, it feels good. It's good to be researching alongside you all, most of you I'm speaking with for the first time.

Hello again everyone. I've had a busy 24 hours but I had some free time and decided to check back to see if there was a press conference like Mr. Castillas mentioned there might. Guess not.

I'm going to go back to KVIAs website and read any new information and then try to give Castillas a call again.

Will post back here as soon as I call either way.

a reply to: MrBuddy

Great to hear from you, let us know what you find out, much appreciated

Just my 2 cents...You don't suddenly evacuate a town, with FBI agents and a tactical Blackhawk helicopter, if this was due to the expansion of Holloman AFB, which is @20 miles west of Sunspot, NM. It can't be due to an upcoming catastrophic sun flare, because other observatories, including amateur astronomers around the world, would be putting that warning up on the internet by now. It can't be an environmental hazard, because no one saw emergency response contractors from the EPA or anyone, for that matter, wearing hazmat suits. If it was the response due to a terrorist threat, why turn away law enforcement, including the involvement of State Troopers and ICE agents? This event, IMO, is a case involving National Security and the recovery of classified materials. What on? Who knows, but the cause for this evacuation will eventually be covered up with a bogus explanation from federal authorities.

You may evac. a town this way if the locals have protested and are already not to cooperate which has been said on the paperwork.

As fare as the sun if they had information from the new equipment and probe or what was returned from the other probe it could be something only seen in the spectrum the new one can see.

Your last thought you could be right but if it was not ongoing why is no one up there, no guards are reported no military presence?

Just finished speaking to another person who is close to the area and they said people there are less speculative that its ET related. They said that the local population are assuming it's some kind of manhunt for a fugitive or some kind of leak in the holding tank for the mercury..possibly someone even trying to steal the mercury ?

In any case people near the area seem to be keeping a grounded approach to the whole thing, which also means nothing spectacular has happened otherwise to make them feel any different. At least not for this person I'm regards to the local rumours going around.

Stealing the mercury I can't imagine how unless they killed everyone up there first. They would have to have a really nice big tanker.

a reply to: SeaWorthy

Yes well that is pure speculation, I just wanted to post it so people have an idea of the attitude of locals and what the local rumours are going around.

a reply to: incoserv

Why reference it multiple times as a security threat? That doesnt really make any sense. There's no real reason to conceal closing due to lack of funding, "evacuating" people out of the area, and not even letting local law enforcement know about it. I dont buy that hypothesis anymore than ET or "Muslim" terrorists

Some new info about flights around the area..its been posted that it seems as though most flights are avoiding the area, although there is no flight restriction in effect. Could be a coincidence. Also there was a person who apparently went beyond the barrier and did not see anyone there at the observatory.

I cant say wether that second part is true yet, the person said they are going to upload photos they took while there so let's be patient at the very least.

The news crew was up there shown on secureteam video today.
