Unhealthy speculation time!

So. There is apparently an "ongoing security concern".

According to Sheriff Benny House:

“The FBI were up there. What their purpose was nobody will say.”


Steven Aftergood, who heads an organization that challenges government secrecy in science said:

“New Mexico is a center of national-security-related science, and for that reason it has also been a prominent venue for foreign espionage”


When asked about biohazard material or other mail related terror, the local spokesman for the US Postal Service Rod Spurgeon had this to say:

“I haven’t heard of anything like that going on”

If *they* want to steal secrets, then they should be going to Holloman AFB about 10 miles away, not a solar observatory.

I wonder if yelling "Get off my lawn" at the FBI will make them go away.

Careful, it seems you know too much and the FBI is in town.
