Solar observatory closed due to “ongoing security concern,” officials say

The observatory was taken over by the FBI and shut down  over a week ago, and so far there has been no explanation other than a “security concern.” I expect it’ll be something like one of the researchers selling secrets to the Chinese, or someone running a meth lab in the back, or software or equipment having been stolen. But by keeping it secret, the FBI is opening the door to more whackadoo explanations like “they saw a UFO/incoming impactor” or some such.
