I cant remember where it was but people suspected a human trafficking ring or something running there. Anyone got more info? I think a video game picture was shown? Comms?
Edit HOLY CANNOLI thank you for all the reminders...this was memory holed like vegas and those 17 second earthquakes or whatever.
National Solar Observatory - Sunspot. NM. - I live within 100 miles of there.
Oddly, the "official" stories all seem to be scrubbed from easy search except for what was covered in foreign sources.
I've spoken with someone that works there - they had no speculation as to why other than what they were told - a janitor was using their computers to transmit CP. Serious if really what happened, for sure - but do you send an FBI hostage rescue team in Blackhawks to raid the place to arrest one guy? The location is kind of remote but easily accessible by car.

Isn’t that a Vatican facility?
Not that I'm aware of - ran by a consortium of universities and funded in large part by the National Science Foundation.
