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

Thanks that is really interesting.

I just learned about this yesterday and now I have read all 150 pages, maybe I read them too fast because I don't know what the outcome to this is. The story is BS and y'all say the answer is mundane...then why all the hoopla

Only zaphod Knows for sure

Because while it's mundane, it's not something that is normally known to the public.

Whatever actually happened must have scared some people in authority pretty bad to ignore jurisdictional authority and a host of other legal protocols, plus sending in certain assets and all the silence etc.

It wasn't fear. When things are being moved some interesting groups are frequently seen around them.

Sooo....what was actually being moved?

I’d say some sort of “secret sauce” or another, defienntly wasn’t serving a warrant for kiddie diddlers.

Yeah it definitely wasn’t that, but it’s just the curiosity that makes you wonder

Why did it take so long?

a reply to: SeaWorthy

Because moving something takes a good bit of time. Security, mapping the route, guys going ahead to scout the route ahead, etc.. They had to move an F-35 by truck from Mountain Home, Idaho to Hill AFB, Utah. That's normally a 4-5 hour drive. Because of all the security and other requirements, it took something like 12 hours to get there. Same thing here.

I understand the time and all the logistics. But I’m still not grasping the “what” was being moved

a reply to: rowdyrich

I doubt we ever will find out the what either.

I suppose you’re right about that

a reply to: rowdyrich

That's kind of the idea though. You're not supposed to be able to.

Did someone point the scope downhill and glimpse a rare bird?

Could it have had anything to do with that Mercury?
I know people have said no, but that was a lot of liquid metal in one place, perhaps, strategical?

I've re-read it 3 times, and I'm still not sure.

I still say a hard no on the HG doesn’t make any sense given the response.

Hey there Dave, just wanted to say I'm glad you are still on the case as it seems. I never found any answers that are conclusive and that in itself is kind of scary in this day and age..keep up the good work buddy
