Well that doesn't sound like Sonja.  She had written weeks before for
the coordinates, giving specific dates, and was highly professional and
exacting throughout.  The observatory has to say SOMETHING, after having
said "yes" and then doing a turnabout to say "no".

If you folks don't think this is being done, an utter refusal to allow
folks to look THERE, go try it!  Then everyone can call YOU a nutcase
here, or a cultist or disorganized, or whatever.  But at least it will
have told YOU something.  If there is nothing to hide, why not LOOK?
