Local law enforcement said, without notice, the FBI stormed in, complete with air support, and tookover the entire facility, which is located at, 3004 Telescope Loop, Sunspot, NM.
“The FBI has not contacted us. We don’t know what they took, what their reason for being there was. We have no information on it,” said Sgt. Jon Emery of the Otero County Sheriff’s Office.
Residents who have been evacuated said they haven’t gotten any answers either.
“It is very frustrating being out of our home. I will say that and I can’t wait until this is over,” Sean Williams said. source
He’s heard about the conspiracy theories flooding the internet.
“Boy, people come up with some outlandish stuff,” he said. “An alien landed here.”
However, James McAteer, a New Mexico State University professor who is also the director of the Sunspot Solar Observatory said the “telescope did not see aliens. All data will be made public in its unaltered form. Nothing is hidden or kept secret.”
Yeah, right!
