Child pornography investigation, not aliens, triggered mysterious closure of New Mexico solar observatory

So they shut down a town and three telescopes over porn? Sure they did.

So you are sitting in your living room and some one tells you to evacuate over porn. I would tell them to go fly a kite!

Are you going to leave your home or buisness over porn? If so why? How is it a danger to me? Evacuating over porn is a tinfoil move if you ask me. Are you familiar with the bundle of rights you get when you purchase or rent a home? Do you see how making some one evacuate with no danger of health is depriving you of quiet enjoyment of your home. How does evacuation make sense for porn?

You do realize that this was a federal government telescope until like a month ago, right? I mean they haven't even got all their peeps moved to the new facility (believe it's in Hawaii) yet. So yeah, on federal property, during a federal investigation, you /do/ get the fuck out of their facility when they tell ya to.

Four grad students and a pedophile janitor do not constitute a 'Town'.

You want to know what I heard?

Before moving to SC, I lived and worked in Albuquerque. Myself and three other people from Albuquerque moved with the company to SC. One of these people has a friend associated with Sunspot. According to this source, a remote radio receiver was found on one of the facilities antennas. This was pointed at Holloman AFB & White Sands.

Personally, without any corroborating information, I would take the word of a friend of a friend of a guy on a message board with more than a few grains of salt...

But it's something I heard...

I could buy the spying on the AFB theory, but idk why the Feds would make up a child porn bounce cover-up. Attracts a bit more attention than one would want to IMO. They could have easier played it off as a mercury leak if that was the case. ~shrug~

The CP stuff is just unbelievable nonsense. Has anyone been charged? NO!

is the observatory operating as before? Same people? Can they, do they make their observations immediately available to the public?
