The mysterious and sudden closure of the National
Solar Observatory in New Mexico, photo above, is sending alien hunters into a frenzy as the
facility remains shut without explanation.
The research institute in Sunspot was
evacuated last Thursday along with a nearby United States Postal Service office
for unexplained ‘security reasons.’
A spokesperson for the Association of Universities
for Research in Astronomy (AURA) which manages the observatory said the evacuation
was a precautionary measure due to a security issue. “It was our
decision to evacuate the facility,” spokeswoman Shari Lifson added.
A statement made by the Otero County Sheriff, Benny
House, to Alamogordo Daily News in the aftermath of the
announcement has contributed to intense speculation around the incident,
however. House said that they were asked to standby but given no further
information.
“The FBI is refusing to tell us what’s going on.
We’ve got people up there (at Sunspot) that requested us to standby while they
evacuate it. Nobody would really elaborate on any of the circumstances as to
why. The FBI were up there. What their purpose was nobody will say.”
The sheriff also said there was a Blackhawk
helicopter at the site and work crews on towers and around antennas.
The mysterious circumstances of the building’s
closure has fueled a frenzy of speculation online as social media users wonder if aliens could be
behind the ‘cloak-and-dagger’ operation.
It’s unclear when the observatory and the post
office will reopen. Postal workers have been temporarily transferred to the
post office in Cloudcroft, a USPS official told ABC7.
The FBI has not responded to requests for comment
on the matter, according to local media. However according to ABC7, the federal
agency told Sheriff House that the evacuation order could remain in place for
several days.
Sunspot is located in the Sacramento Mountains in
Otero County about 15 miles south of the village Cloudcroft. There is currently
a working telescope at the observatory, where New Mexico State University also
conducts research.
A retired DARPA guest on Coast to Coast radio said Sunspot had been hacked by the Chinese. He also said the observatory interacts with HAARP, SMACK (DARPA code name), scalar energy and Hammer (DARPA code name) to influence sunspots and corona mass ejections on the Sun.
