The Zone of Silence-A mysterious place in Mexico
The Zone of Silence-A mysterious place in Mexico
An area of desert known as the Trino Vertex located within the Mapimi Biosphere Reserve is known for strange happenings. The Zone of Silence, also known as la Zona del Silencio, is a spot where compasses spin out of control and radio and satellite signals don't operate. It can be called the Northern Mexico's Bermuda Triangle.
The first event at Mexico's Zone of Silence happened in the 1930s, when a pilot named Francisco Sarabia said his instruments went crazy and his radio stopped working while flying over the area. Later, in the 1970s, a malfunctioning American missile was launched from the White Sands Missile Base in New Mexico and crashed or maybe was pulled into the area, drawing attention to the location.
The Mexican government permitted investigators from the United States Air Force to investigate the incident at that time, which is when the cause was discovered. Due to local magnetic fields that generate a black zone, no transmissions of any kind, including radio and satellite signals, are able to enter the area, prompting the site's popular name.
Since then, research has been conducted in the Zone of Silence, which is on the border of the Mexican states of Coahuila, Durango, and Chihuahua, and the Mexican government has built a research Centre to investigate the region's unique ecology and wildlife. Theorists believe the government is researching more than it admits because there are several abnormalities to investigate.
The location is also a meteorite hotspot. Two meteorites have landed on the same ranch, according to Atlas Obscura, one in 1938 and the other in 1954. Scientists believe the remains of these meteorites have magnetic qualities, which could explain why so many iron-rich objects from space have ended up here.
Other, stranger activity of similar sort has been reported here, such as the area's reputation for weird lights, UFO sightings, and extraterrestrial contacts. Some even claim it has been used as an alien portal in the past and now. Ranchers have reported unusual lights and strange persons appearing out of nowhere and claiming to be "from above." However, many witnesses have often seen the same three blonde strangers.
Though there are probably some instances that cannot be explained, no tangible proof has been uncovered to corroborate allegations of extraterrestrial activity in this area. If the Zone of Silence is subjected to a rare magnetic attraction, one must hypothesize on the magnitude of the effect on local events. However, when you add in the numerous reports of extraterrestrial encounters, you get an area of activity that demands scientific survey.
