National Solar Observatory, USPS office in Sunspot, NM evacuated for 'safety reasons'

a reply to: KeithCooperPerhaps there are very sensitive instruments in use and even heavy footfall might imbalance them? Only thing that makes sense.

Because the scientific community is generally not a secretive one.

They talk extensively among themselves and to the outside world. If this was a massive world-wide scientific coverup, the entire scientific world would be screaming about it bloody murder everywhere you can think of (i.e. Internet, press, email, phone, television, etc.).

Cat 5 solar flare coming our way a reply to: Plzbetrue

Could you elaborate on that???

The place is being maintained, but there's no one there. The place SHOULD be guarded- vandals, salvagers, nitwits who like to B&E, and just plain nitwits, and there's not even that. From what i saw of the youtube vid, there's places that are just open- unlocked doors and such.

I'm curious enough to want to see night footage of the place. This is still screwy.

BTW- did you factor in the solar picture edits, missing timestamps, closed observatories, etc?This thread goes on for some time with all of that, plus links. I've made some half joking replies about ET- but at this point, I honestly have NO idea what is going on. No matter how you slice it, recent events make utterly no sense at all.

So this guy drives 15 hours to the Observatory and now this?

Should I start getting worried?

And yet... They are being secretive about Something.
AURA knows something, but they give no explanation. If it was something mundane they would have cleared things up by now.

What would be SO important that they would let these conspiracies go on for a week with no explanation?

I'm going to throw in my speculation that we've got some disgruntled employees based on the fact that the operations for the NSO are being turned over to New Mexico State University while the NSO moves to Colorado and Hawaii.

Combine that with the fact that the telescope itself is suspended by a container holding 10 tons of Mercury, we might have an intentional Mercury spill?! Or the threat of one?

That was a year ago. NMSU has been there for a long time now.

My hunch? Just poor/odd word choice used in an attempt to convey that there was no "panic" or imminent threat to anyone. There are some, even in this very thread, that seem to be in an almost panic state over whatever is going on. The original term used was "evacuate", which to most of us brings a picture of beong asked/forced tonleave very quickly to mitigate any imminent risks. I think, just from observing the little reaction they've had, they probably regret using that term specifically and "vacate" would have been more appropriate. They were asked to "walk calmly" sets a much more placid picture than "they were evacuated" and instead of backtracking I believe they were attempting to clarify some of the confusion we all have beem speculating

Some people invest themselves a little too much in situations like this, either due to mental illness/imbalance or just their nature. As a result, information that most of us find intriguing/interesting they can become completely enthralled/obsessed with and have a hard time separating reality from conjecture/fiction/theories. That can become even more dangerous if there is an underlying mental illness/imbalance. That's how people end up getting hurt and/or in serious trouble.

No, i believe he ended up not going. Hopefully he is taking a nap right now tbh I'm not sure what he is talking about

There's a G2 storm going down, but nothing that speaks of a G5.

All other reports show that the complete change of operation wasn't going to take place until 2018 and that the Hawaii operation would be up and running in 2019.

No reddit members are trolling us, its fairly obvious ever since this thread was posted on that forum and we immediately got a rash of new "members"

Satellites could see you from far, far off and reinforcements could be air dropped real fast.

It also has a lot of eyes on it now. A dozen well trained and well armed guards could hold this down for a while.

So... Why aren't people showing up fiddling with doorknobs and such not being hauled to some tiny box in a govt facility?

a reply to: ManBehindTheMask

Reddit has turned into one of the worst places on the internet.

Consider this...

The town of Rachel, Nevada (population 54) is a remote town far out in the Nevada desert along a desolate stretch of highway. Despite it's remoteness, millions of people around the globe know of both the town and the stretch of highway it sits on.

Why?

Because it is right next to the biggest source of conspiracy theories ever on planet Earth...Area 51. The highway? Rte 375, otherwise known as the "Extraterrestrial Highway", and the town of Rachel has the famous "Little A'Le' Inn" (little alein). This town likely would have disappeared off the map decades ago if it weren't for their tireless promotion of aliens, conspiracies, black ops and all manner of other intrigue. People from around the globe go there just to say they've been there. There's really no other reason to go there (there's nothing there), but they still go. And, they drive down the "Extraterrestrial Highway" to get there.

Today, everyone knows Area 51 exists, and most know what it's really used for, but this doesn't stop the speculation.

Now, consider the Sunspot Observatory, and their curious press release about visiting their Visitor Center after the facility re-opens. It's an aging facility scheduled for being stood down at some point. Yes, it's still in use, but those uses are slowly dwindling down. The people living there want to maintain the vitality of the place, their home.

All of a sudden some big unrelated criminal bust brings the federal boys in blue suits to town and they evacuate some people. What a better launching board for another ghost town just like Rachel, NV to pop into existence, right? Just think of all the ways they can spin this to make it a tourist destination once the grant money drys up! It'll be the next Roswell, AZ. Just think about it ...

"Way back in 2018 the feds swooped into to town in black helicopters and closed down the entire town of Sunspot for reasons which were never explained. Clearly they were hiding a crashed alien ship or a secret message received (accidentally) from ET who was hiding behind the Sun. Come visit the famous town of Sunspot and learn about the greatest conspiracy of the 21st Century!"

Make sense now?

They flew in on a black hawk

Which would add this layer: Where did they get a Blackhawk???

a reply to: Flyingclaydisk

I postulated that 15 or 20 pages back.
Didn't go over very well.

Sorry, I must have missed that. Didn't mean to steal your thunder.

It's true though!
