Summary

Holy bananas gang, we been at it for 99 times. 99 episodes of beer on the wall? 99 problems but a ghost ain't one? Free 99??? Yep, it's The What If? Podcast, and this week, we're talking current events with the closure of the Sunspot Observatory in New Mexico this past week.

Why did the FBI show up in New Mexico, and close a 9,000 ft. high sun observatory? With no explanation and no recourse? This week, we discuss what may've caused the closure, and closures of five other observatories around the world over the same week. Did the observatory "observe" something they weren't supposed to? What was the criminal activity the FBI said occurred there? Find out, on this week's episode of The What If? Podcast.
