As a manager in professional astronomy, I was keeping daily records on the abnormal behavioral problems in the staff. When the senior management team became aware of the records, they instructed me to destroy them.

My observations of high altitude observatory workers is that they seem to have elevated levels of behavioral problems that eventually progresses into ill health, disease and premature death for some.

I was aware of many workers that were showing behavioral problems during my time in high altitude astronomy.

I am committed to shutting down the toxic Mauna Kea Observatories and this is a serious problem for professional astronomers, given that I was the manager of the world’s largest telescopes.

The initial signs of Magee’s Delayed Altitude Complications were a panic disorder followed a few years later with fatigue, confusion and forgetfulness.

Delayed complications from adverse environmental exposures is well known to the medical profession. It is documented for radiation, explosions, heavy metals, poisoning, electric shocks, head injuries, drugs, and we now appear to be adding high altitudes to the list.

I am aware of at least 4 professional astronomy workers that suffered health crashes approximately 14 years after their first exposure to the 13,797’ very high altitude summit of Mauna Kea. It killed two of them and the third almost died. I call this process ‘Magee’s Delayed Altitude Complications’.

I call Magee’s Delayed Altitude Complications ‘The Curse of Mauna Kea’.

So what does high altitude commuting do to workers? I saw a high prevalence of workers with memory loss, aggression, social problems, heart issues and some would develop changes in gender.
