I wonder if George Noory will cover this on Coast to Coast AM tonight. It's weird about other observatories being closed. A dangerous asteroid headed this way?

Sunspot apologizes for the continued closure of the facilities. Listed below is the latest statement from AURA. As we receive new information we will share with you.
The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) is addressing a security issue at the National Solar Observatory facility at Sacramento Peak, New Mexico and has decided to temporarily vacate the facility as a precautionary measure. AURA, which manages Sacramento Peak with funding from NSF, is working with the proper authorities on this issue. We have no further comment at this time.
I probably should have posted this in the unexplained forum, but FBI involvement made me inclined to post here, Mods are welcomed to change it if you see fit.
