A quick look at a map indicates its about 30 miles from White Sands Missile Range and Holoman AFB.
Upcoming test of new-technology most likely.

They want to keep a lid on the Sunspots...or lack of them....and the imminent ice age.

The big asteroid is coming in from the far side of the sun, and the government doesn’t want anyone to see it and start a panic.

No to all guesses. They took over the post office as well. So someone was sending things in or out of the post office. Could be drugs. It could be secrets. A telescope in the desert can be a lonely place. Often there is nobody there. Or if there is somebody, its one person. So just because you can see planets far away with that thing. It could also be a good place to hide drugs. Smuggle people in. Or spy on things America is doing.
Because its the FBI and not Treasure or ICE or military, it seems like secrets.

It's New Mexico. Don't they know it's hidden behind the copy machine?
Twenty years ago, they insisted that Wen Ho Lee was not a Chinese spy; twenty years ago Dianne Feinstein got a driver.

“There was a Blackhawk helicopter, a bunch of people around antennas and work crews on towers but nobody would tell us anything.”
Also closed the post office and evacuated people from the town.
hmmmmm…..
