Reason Behind Sunspot Observatory Closure According to Court Documents

A federal search warrant reveals that Sunspot Solar Observatory was shut down as FBI agents conducted computer forensic searches for child pornography.

The source of child pornography was traced to an IP address used at the observatory and a source within the building observed a computer with "not good" images on it, the warrant states.

An investigation by the FBI revealed that a janitor is the main suspect in the search, however he has not been charged with a crime even though his name is on the warrant.

The warrant states the suspect would use the observatory Wifi and a personal laptop to download the child pornography.

A limited number of people have access to the observatory from dusk until dawn, which helped narrow their search.

The observatory in the mountains of southern New Mexico had been closed since Sept. 6 because of an undisclosed security concern, but reopened on Monday.

Reason Behind Sunspot Observatory Closure According to Psychics

Channeled Adronis: There are increasing anomalies taking place upon your sun right now; sun spots, magnetic fluctuation and openings. If these particular observatory labs were not closed down, you would have evidence how spacecrafts can come out of the sun at specific opening points. Scientist don’t understand it, that’s why the observatory closure, and amateours footages are ceased.

[...] Psychic Focus has a bit different story; The Observatory serves for the busy UFO activity in the area, but also for a bigger operation under ground. Large study of ETs going on. There was a breach in security that allowed a Grey to escape and “call” a fellow ship to get him. People were evacuated in fear of a retaliation, until they can be sure they are safe and secure

[...] Hucolo Jim another kind; There are species that are causing some anomalies in the way that is not healthy to the earth, so that is why the observatory was closed, the whole city was affected. I can not give you specifics, but I can tell this, there are also ETs that try to stop the ascension process

[Ed note: Yes, there are several more like these from the same source. Do people really believe this stuff? SMH. --martyb]

    I find such reaction to mere child porn troubling. They're chasing it like it's some sort of treason. Any sort of ideology control is ripe for abuse, even if that ideology control enforces the idea of not jerking off to underage child photos.

    The story I read (and who knows what the real facts are) is that a "janitor" was leaving a laptop there running as a server.

      Still it doesn't justify closure of entire facility. Only radiation leak or other situation like that can justify it.

        I agree 100%, and I never said it does justify closing the entire facility. In fact, please read my comment that should appear a few lines below this.

        The way I see it there are three possibilities:

        a) The child porno story is a cover up for something serious which happened. The authorities don't want us to panic and want everyone to go about normally. E.g. attempted terror attack.
        b) They really did shut down an entire observatory to seize a laptop. The FBI are protecting the children (tm) by deploying all possible personel by going all out and getting this evil and dangerous laptop that endangered the entire building, requiring tatical teams to seize lest the evil laptop of doom take hostages. Thank god the FBI swarmed the building, and nobody was hurt by this evil laptop of doom*, which faced with the sheer number and volume of FBI agents, decided to surrender without a fight.
        c) The FBI is just trying to frame/harass somebody they don't like.

        * This laptop was mutated by exposure to nuclear material and that's why it became a super dangerous killer evil laprop of doom requiring SWAT teams to seize.

        It takes a while to search the basement to make sure there isn't a hidden pizzeria producing the child porn.
