Default Closure of National Observatory and nearby post office in New Mexico by FBI

Let the conspiracy theories fly!

Quote:
Sheriff Benny House did tell ABC 7 that his local law enforcement did not have anything to do with either the observatory closure, or the Sunspot post office Closure.

A spokesperson for the United States Postal Service told ABC 7 that they were given specific instructions. "We were told on September 6th that we would be evacuated along with the surrounding area, we were not told why," Rod Sturgeon said, "We were told just to be out of the area."

The employees were probably investing in Marijuana stocks...

Im sure it has to do with evidence relating to a crime or some internal threat, nothing about UFO's.

I'm guessing some sort of disinhibited group of people with extremist views (e.g. religion, scientology) are messing with the postal service by mailing bombs or sending threatening material.

Kind of a neat Stranger Things moment.

FBI descends on astronomy institution to mysteriously evacuate and shut it down. No explanation given even to local law enforcement who assist in the evacuation.

How long did it take for the Anthrax news story to come out... I assume not long, nothing compared to this.

So if it was a mass-shooting or Anthrax or something similar, I feel like we would know by now.

Chinese spying from the observatory on a nearby US military base?

I figured it was a criminal investigation, so not surprised.

That said, these kind of cover stories - without knowing all of the details - can also be an alibi for other things. It's basically their word against ours, although I tend to believe this is probably criminal in nature and nothing more. If the NSA, DoD, and/or CIA were involved - or even NASA or DARPA - then I'd probably question it more.

Not aliens. Child porn. Which is obviously a cover story for aliens.
