The mystery is over. Information gathered from documents filed with the court show the FBI was investigating child porn.
"""The investigation began after law enforcement determined that an IP address belonging to the Observatory had been used to send and receive child pornography. They did not know who was responsible.
During an interview on August 21, the Chief Observer told FBI agents that, several months earlier, he found a laptop in an empty office with images that were “not good.” He failed to report the discovery.
The Chief Observer said the facility’s janitor was the only person who worked at the Observatory at the time the child porn was accessed, according to the Albuquerque Journal. Agents seized the laptop.
When the janitor returned to work the next day, he complained that cleaning supplies were missing and, over the next few days, he became increasingly “frantic,” claiming that someone was breaking into the facility at night to use the facility’s WiFi.
The Albuquerque Journal reported that the janitor continually approached the Chief Observer with questions and comments about missing items, stating that the fake security cameras were “a joke” and that it was only “a matter of time” until the facility “got hit.”
Eventually, the janitor claimed there was a serial killer in the area and expressed fear that the killer might enter the Observatory and “execute someone.” That’s when the FBI decided to evacuate and close the facility, according to the newspaper."""
The observatory was reopened on Monday.
