FBI Suspiciously Locks Down, Evacuates Solar Observatory in New Mexico

[BUtterfield 8 41,816]

All that has happened over the last week at the National Solar Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico, 130 miles southwest of Roswell—and the situation is still a mystery.

It seems to have started last Friday when the observatory was temporarily closed because of an undisclosed security issue. 

Otero County Sheriff Benny House told the Daily News that FBI agents told his officers to “standby,” and would not explain the security threat to him or why the federal law enforcement agency was involved. 

House seemed especially confused since the staff at the observatory aren’t federal employees, as far as he knows. 

Lifson of AURA told Gizmodo today that the facility is still closed because the research group is still “addressing a security issue” and “is working with the proper authorities on this issue,”

A dispatcher at the Otero County Sheriff’s office told Gizmodo that the matter is still a complete mystery to their office.

Ya'll thinking of AHS but I seriously want Mulder and Scully to explain what happened. This seriously sounds like an X-file.
