National Solar Observatory shuts over mysterious ‘security issue’
« on: September 13, 2018, 11:43:40 AM »
This headline on drudge report caught my eye.
https://www.rt.com/usa/438275-fbi-observatory-evacuated-aliens/
It must be the aliens!

Quote
“The FBI is refusing to tell us what’s going on. We’ve got people up there (at Sunspot) that requested us to standby while they evacuate it. Nobody would really elaborate on any of the circumstances as to why. The FBI were up there. What their purpose was nobody will say.”

The sheriff also claimed there was a Blackhawk helicopter at the site and work crews on towers and around antennas.

The mysterious circumstances of the building’s closure has fueled a frenzy of speculation online as social media users wonder if aliens could be behind the ‘cloak-and-dagger’ operation.
Black helicopter also!   =D

A nearby post office was also evacuated.

We have it on good authority that they are actually dark green.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

So do you think it's aliens or a giant asteroid?

I'm pretty sure there was already an Airwolf episode about that with Wilford Brimley guest-starring as Cthulu.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Facility closed indefinitely.

Local Post Office closed.

Several "residents" (of Post Office delivery area?) evacuated.

FBI called in.

Hmmmm.

Don't sound like no sewer line backup.  They'd'a told us.

Anybody check the local hospitals?

 [tinfoil]

Don't tell me I'm the only one mulling that over.

Update.

Oh, yeah. THAT will put an end to the conspiracy theories...




 :facepalm:  :rofl:

Well, see, it took nine of them there ten days for the FBI to create, story-board, prop, cast, and film that story. >:D

Didn't tell local law enforcement, indeed.  I've seen dinner theatre murder plots that were better-crafted.

Whatev

OK, complex child porn investigation it is.

Terry, :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Okay, so does that mean the aliens arrive before or after the massive civilization killing solar flare event?

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Hey, man.  You gotta believe it was a highly complex secretive computer child porn investigation including total evacuation of the solar observatory and the post office and apparently several residences as well.

For ten days.

Believe !

Himm... Possible ricin attack at the Pentagon.  Probably easier to get/make than anthrax.

“All USPS mail received at the Pentagon mail screening facility yesterday is currently under quarantine and poses no threat to Pentagon personnel,” Manning said.

Ricin is a naturally occurring poison that can be made from castor beans and can be turned into a powder.
