Note the able journalists, Moore and company, hit the important themes.
Yes, it’s conceivable some “national security” issue justified the FBI sweeping though the place, closing it down, and imposing strict secrecy. But if so, a delicate security issue flowing from a small astronomy outpost…what in the world could it be?
That story, should it ever emerge, would have more eye-watering layers than any onion.
And as the Post journalists intimate, sometimes “mysteries” turn out to be little more than human stumbling and bumbling, followed by a lot of awkward covering of bureaucratic rear ends. But even that would have some kind of damned interesting backstory. The coverup more interesting than the crime, and all that.
This probably has nothing to do with Roswell, and its myths, hours away.
New Mexico is full of responsible, utterly sane people. And from time to time, odd happenings like a little solar observatory in the middle of absolutely nowhere, shut down as if nuclear weapons were about to detonate.
We’d all like to know why.
