I don't believe that you will get many people on these forums to join a GroupMe chat

Privacy and paranoia, etc.... you know

Never heard of GroupMe chat.

That link will not load for me.
What is it about?

Or... is that point? All of the SOHO nasa.gov pages are not loading.
Strange.

Loads for me but I am not seeing anything interesting?

Yeah it’s back up now it was down for sure earlier though.

It was down earlier, false alarm I suppose.

True, but they're all large. Like 100s of times bigger than earth large. The one coming around now isn't exceptional in any way.

Either way, couldn't be related to the shutdown as anything seen last week would've reached is by now.

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to belittle your opinion. Everything you are saying is true. Just personally, I don't think it's why the FBI was involved nor reason for evacuation of one of the many solar observatories in the world.

The facebook blurb, if true, is very interesting. People leaving their pets behind certainly would validate the info they they were alleged to have only had about "15 minutes" to prepare and get out. The fact that they have not even been allowed to go back amd check on or retrieve their pets is a bit disturbing. The population is so low that it should be feasible to allow people to go back to their homes with sone type of supervision if neccesary, if if they didnt realize this was going to be a long-term event at first and has obviously turned into one. This also solidifys in my mind there was nothing preplanned or forseen about this. As an owner of a 13yo pup that mine as well be my child, leaving her unattended for 4 days is unfathomable to me. Granted I would have taken her with me anywhere, UNLESS i was given the impression I would "be right back" by whomever was evacuating me. This is so freaking bizarre.

this is kinda eerie..

"Yesterday, we had a truly amazing outburst of Northern Lights here in northern Sweden," says Göran Strand. "I did a 180° panorama of the sky to capture the entire display over Handöl. While editing, I tried some different options to present the photo. Suddenly, when I mirrored the photo, I saw something truly out of this world." "At the top, the clouds and Northern Lights formed a face that looks like an alien, and at the bottom a Storm trooper is clearly visible," says Strand. "Can this really just be a coincidence? :-)"

I can't embed picture.. but maybe there is something heading our way.. between this and the mysterious signals that keep on coming our way.

The daily mail is running it now. Although it's basicly copy pasta of the Kvia story.
They do go on about solar storm doom porn for a bit.

That part concerns me as well. Any animal lover would rightfully question, why can't I take my pet? I would not leave them. Thus, those residents must know more than they are letting on. If it's a biological threat, then why would animals not be rescued before they are infected? Story just gets more bizarre..

Zerohedge posted something earlier, apologies if I missed it earlier in the thread, just off an airplane for a biz trip, TLDR.

The interesting part...

Just in case you were blowing off the tin-foil-hat views of the observatory closure, we note that all these solar/space cams down at the same time:
AXIS 232D Network Dome Camera located in Sydney Australia
Webcams located at SOAR Observatory – The Southern Astrophysical Research Telescope located in Chile
BRT Tenerife Telescope Webcam located in Spain
Webcam located at Mauna Kea observatory at the University of Hawaii Hilo
Webcam from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope observatory in Hawaii
Webcam at JAT OBservatory in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania

*Puts out the good china, just in case*

Looks like we might be gettin' company.

If you have not watched the weekly show called salvation then it might be interesting to watch the previous episodes.

So far they killed the female potus, sabotaged a spacecraft,russian interference, resystance, Q17 and a giant asteroid coming toward earth and current potus gonna kill himself and save mankind. I missed a few things but you get the point.

Oh yea a space observatory was destroyed.

Their other dimensional friends might have been expected to open a portal in that spot and didnt want anyone to get sucked in.

a reply to: blackmetalmist

Agreed. If it were some type of environmental/contamination issue then pets would be susceptible to that as well, and if they were attempting to keep it quiet then why leave the possibility that it could be exposed by examining the remains of any pets. It would have to be a pretty imminent threat to get me to leave my baby alone, because any PHYSICAL threat to me would presumably be a threat to her as well making it even more less likely I would leave her. Sitting here thinking honestly other thsn brute force preventing me fron taking her, if i had to go so would she- and if she couldnt then neither would I. That may sound absurd to some but I would wager a lot of people feel the same about their pets. I will probably never actually have biological children so my pet is the closest to a child I will probably ever get- theres no way id be seperated and if by sone chance I was, theres absolutely no way they would keep me fro. Retrieving and/or at least checking on her.

Not that this really adds any suggestions to what is going on, but for me at least certainly goes to state of mind in those who were "evacuated" and since have not been allowed to return. Id risk threat of imprisonment and probably even risk being shot at to rescue my pupper if forced to leave behind vs letting her starve or die of dehydration.

It was down earlier, and info on the site has now changed. So, perhaps they were updating. They no longer have that message about no new data for a few weeks (at least as far as I can tell).

Maybe they updated it now just because people were talking about Sunspot, along with SOHO having no new data. One less thing for people to talk about.

Nevermind - I found the updating for a few weeks message is still in some place.

Hello everyone just wanted to pop in real quick, great work btw.

So I have had a few people reference an incident at an observatory in arizona which happened on July 15th 2018. There was a suspicious package found and detonated apparently.

This could possibly be an important clue. I did also notice Soho is back online as others have mentioned already.

Another thing I wanted to bring up quickly was a report I read from someone who said that the aerial activity in the area in regards to military craft was higher than usual around the time of evacuation and afterwards. I'm waiting for a final report on this information so stand by for that..if that info is indeed forthcoming I will post it here.

www.google.ca...

That's the link about the observatory in arizona, notice the difference in response. Although we may be able to draw similarities between the two incidents as well.

I'm local. I don't know, but it may have been me that you are referencing talking about the aircraft activity in the area. I did post something here about that yesterday.
I'm actually driving past the Air Force Base right now.
Usually there's sorties of 2-3 f-18s flying in close proximity at low altitudes around this area. Lately past couple of days) it's been a solo plane I can't identify at a much higher altitude. I'm not saying it's a different plane, just that I can't tell what it is because it's higher than they usually are. And this may not be anything weird at all, they change their flight schedules often. But for the past couple months the Germans that are leaving have been trying to burn all their fuel stores and there was a new F-16 Squadron that moved in that's been Airborne a lot. I've been on the other side of the mountains in Las Cruces all day so I don't know what's been above the Tularosa basin today. I'll keep my ears and eyes open now that I'm home.

Usually, I would've seen a few take off on my drive from Cruces to Alamo but I haven't seen any so far.

but again, I'm just a civilian and I have no inside knowledge to the Air Force Base. Just pointing out my observations as a local

ETA local civilian aircraft aren't restricted. I just saw a Cessna leave the local Airport.

Thanks for keeping us up on local events I thought someone said the activity was lower so I must have been thinking about your posting.

Thank you for your update, the username of the person who is supposed to post more info on this subject is impikelrikcc over on reddit. Sorry to put your name out there impikelrikcc but I thought others here may appreciate the ability to possibly contact you about your info you gathered.

I can't seem to find the reply but whatever happened to that ATS member who quit his job and was going to head down there? Did he ever make it or he mysteriously disappeared and posts removed?

a reply to: threeeyesopen

The articles I have seen about that incident in arizona are pretty vague..it took them about 4 hours to contain and clean the area of the possible bomb threat. Much different from what we see in NM..

Have been watching SOHO website for years and am seeing something I have never seen - The right side of the CURRENT images is "Cropped"

Very strange indeed ... be vigilant !

SOHO Website


AND NOW it looks centered and correct !!!! This is bizarre !!!!
