So the entire facility was evacuated--it's near Roswell, btw--and shut down, as was a local post office (and there are claims that there were other evacuations, as well) by the FBI, who felt it necessary to send a Blackhawk in with their team, because a scuzzy janitor had child porn on his laptop. It's like someone at the FBI said "hey, let's do something to fire up the conspiracy nuts, it's been a while since we heard from them."
Also, I'd like to note that this is the kind of response I'd like to see at the Vatican...
An observatory in New Mexico has been unexpectedly closed due to an unnamed "security issue," prompting evacuations and a visit from the FBI. The Sunspot Observatory is now currently closed to both staff and the public, with no word on why or when it will be open again...
Lifson said that the facility was first evacuated on September 6 and has remained closed since then. According to Lifson, the observatory has no date for reopening yet.
As part of the investigation into the security issue, the observatory has contacted the FBI, which has been reported on the scene with multiple agents and a Blackhawk helicopter. According to local sheriff Benny House, the agency has been working with local law enforcement but refuses to share any details.

According to recently unsealed FBI documents, the investigation was directed at a janitor of the facility who allegedly downloaded and shared child pornography using the observatory's wireless internet.
