@mydogisahusky Been digging a bit about the solar observatory article. Two more references - https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/telescopes/a23107258/fbi-new-mexico-observatory/ and https://www.alamogordonews.com/story/news/local/2018/09/07/sunspot-observatory-south-cloudcroft-closed-due-security-issue/1227788002/ I can't conceive of a scenario that involves "security" for a science-based installation, unless something highly unusual was going on. It reads like the beginning of a scifi story, so I'm intrigued.
The FBI Mysteriously Close New Mexico Observatory

Staff have been evacuated and the FBI has sent agents and a Blackhawk helicopter to the site, without telling anyone what's going on.

@TallTim
Apparently lots of "black beret" military in Blackhawk helicopters landing up there.
@mydogisahusky What gives me a bit of unease is the military presence. What could possibly warrant that kind of response? Honestly, its hard not to veer into lines of thought about aliens. I'll keep an eye on it.
@TallTim
Aliens yes. And not the ones from Central America.
@TallTim
Outrageous activity in Antarctica.
