Would that be a round planet X or a flat planet X?

I just heard they evacuated the entire town.  Perhaps something fell around there and they don't want anyone to find it.  

Who knows, no one that will tell us!

Yet, wonder why all those other observatories closed, all over the world or is that just clickbait?
.
Who said the entire town was evacuated? 
What other observatories were closed? 
Some sources question why there have been no other observatories evacuated. 
I've seen nobody saying there have been other closures. 
In fact, since there are numerous solar observatories worldwide, they're all watching the sun, so if something were happening on the sun that is of great relevance to this National Solar Observatory at Sacramento Peak evacuation, what would that be?

Well I'd certainly hope the real authorities would have enough cop on to know whether or not these "unknown authorities" should be there or not, and deal with them if they shouldn't be.
.
And how would the "cop on" know to do anything about it if they can't see the "unknown authorities?"

I wonder what their motives are. Are the other major Solar Observatories still open? I've heard rumours they might be trying to cover-up the signs of another Carrington Event.
.
Journalists looking into this story have reported that all the other observatories they have contacted are still open, and they have no information to offer regarding the Sacramento Peak solar observatory.
.
There are lots of rumors of all kinds, but there are no answers. Nobody in the town of Sunspot knows what's going on, either.
Rod Spurgeon (someone whose job it is to know what's going on) can't say who ordered the Post Office clerk to evacuate. 
He says he wasn't there himself so he has no idea who or what agency closed the Post Office. 
Someone managed to shut down a US Post Office but without the involvement of the Postal Service? 
Since when does that happen?
Any "unknown authority" who interferes with the US Mail commits a Federal Crime, punishable by Federal Prison time.
Something isn't adding up.
.
Everyone involved (outside of the mysterious, unidentified "unknown autorities") wonders what their motives are.
.
The one thing there is none of, is answers.

FBI spokesman Frank Fisher would not confirm or deny the agency’s involvement but referred all questions to AURA.
.
“The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy is addressing a security issue … and has decided to temporarily vacate the facility as a precautionary measure,” AURA spokeswoman Shari Lifson said in a statement. “We have no further comment at this time.”
.
Lifson said AURA is working with the proper authorities, but would not name them.
.
According to the facility’s website, the observatory and surrounding area are closed until further notice “due to unforeseen circuмstances.”
.
.
Notice, AURA admits to having closed the observatory. However, the Post Office down the street was evacuated by an "unknown authority" that nobody, not even the local Sheriff can identify. It is a Federal crime to interfere with the Postal Service, but here an unknown entity has interfered with the operation of an entire office of the Postal Service and nobody has anything to say about it.
.
What is wrong with this picture?
