La Zona Del Silencio


In a Chihuahuas desert patch near the Bolson de Mapimi in Mexico, there exists an eerie area called Mapimí Silent Zone (La Zona Del Silencio) or the Zone of Silence.

The area gets its name from an odd anomaly that prohibits radio waves from transmitting inside the zone. The Zone of Silence appears to cancel radio and TV signals and has a 
 history of UFO sightings.


Its discovery was made in 1970, when a faulty American Athena missile fired from the White Sands Missile Base in nearby New Mexico went off course inexplicably and crashed into the mysterious desert region.A team of U.S. Air Force investigators were sent to locate and investigate the cause of crash with approval from theMexican government ,they journeyed to the crash site and made an unexpected discovery. Within an unspecified and sometimes shifting area within the Zone, radio signals fail to travel through the air, creating a type   of dark zone.

No television, radio, short wave, microwave, or satellite signals seem to penetrate this zone.

The name, Zone of Silence, was quickly adopted, and researchers began flocking to the remote location shortly thereafter.

Theorists are quick to point out that the Zone is geographically located just north of the Tropic of Cancer and shares the same  latitude south of the 30th parallel as the Bermuda Triangle and the Egyptian Pyramids.


Whether such theories are pure coincidence and the reported sightings of UFO are man made fiction,one thing is for sure,La Zona Del Silencio has some mysteries of its own.
