RE: That Crazy Sunspot Observatory Story Got a Little Crazier
I find the story implausible. I cannot believe the FBI would close the facility, send crews up on antennae and towers, even bring in a military helicopter, because a janitor made strange and ambiguous, albeit threatening, comments.
How was this dude a threat after they seized his laptop? Was he not in jail?
Neither do I believe the closure of the Post Office was unrelated. There were several webcams aimed at the sun that simultaneously went down with the Sunspot observatory.
Sure, I can see they might have felt it advisable to bring in a Blackhawk to circle the facility to facilitate the arrest. I don't see why they'd close it down after they made the arrest though, and neither do I buy the coincidence gambit for the closure of the Post Office, or the webcams that went black.
IMHO, this is a cover story for something else that is, or was, happening.
Thanks!
I think it's worth being skeptical in this case, and you raise some good points. Especially about the Black Hawk and the post office closure. I did find it odd that he wasn't arrested yet when this story was published. Why so long?
