Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about the Zone of Silence.
That's correct, the Zone of Silence.
Now this particular area is located down there in North
Central Mexico. Lots of weird things happening.
This first article comes to us from indy88.com written by Jen
June 5th 2022 says enter the MAPIMA zone of silence where
science fiction meets reality. That's spelled MAPIMI, the
article begins. It says Once Upon a time in
1970, a military training rocket went off course and accidentally
invaded Mexican airspace, somehow landing hundreds of
miles off course. The rocket buried itself in the
desert region of Durango, Mexico.
Because of this, it prompted a huge government search mission
in an area called the Mapima Zone that turned out to have
little to no capacity for connection with the outside
world. What most people didn't know was
that the rocket actually contained 2 small containers of
cobalt 57, a radioactive element Covert specialist arrived to
find the rocket and secure its contents, which took about 3
weeks. Now, before I continue, I want
you to just take, oh, I don't know, 5 or 10 seconds and think
about how much your government loves you.
They sent up two rockets filled with radioactive material, and
they were so good at it, at the land of those rockets, in the
desert in Mexico where they could contaminate who knows
what. Once they found the wreckage,
the government made a road to transport the remains plus a
small amount of contaminated soil.
This active, this activity on its own created buzz with the
locals around what was happening.
Yeah, small amount of contaminated soil.
You wonder what really happened there.
However, this was not the first recorded incident of something
strange happening in the Zone of silence, it says.
The first recorded report about strange goings on in the Mapini
Zone was made by a pilot in the 1930s.
As he was flying over the area, he noticed his radio stopped
working all of a sudden. Since then, many visitors to the
area, including official sources, say that gadgets tend
to stop working there altogether.
Yes, that's right, Supposedly the Zone of Silence is more than
just a dramatic name. Communication is regularly
interrupted, and much technology simply breaks down once you
cross a certain area into this land.
Now this is one of the strange areas where you know the same
kind of phenomenon we hear at the UFOs.
Radios quit working, Lights go out, electronics don't function.
Makes you wonder what's happening.
Similar reports abound with the Bermuda Triangle.
The fascinating thing is that the Zone of silence in the
Bermuda Triangle both exist between parallels 26 and 28.
Is this a coincidence, or is there something strange going on
with these coordinates that no one has been able to pin down?
Goes on. It says throughout the 20th
century the area has had lots of meteorite activity.
In fact, large meteorites land in southern Chihuahua right near
the Zone 2 fell on the same ranch 1/19/38 and another in
1954. While I'm looking at pictures of
the stuff and it's pretty dry out there.
So maybe it's not that they're having more more meteorites
land, maybe it's just that they're able to find them.
The meteors don't just come and go either.
They tend to make a big fuss, such as a third meteorite that
fell in 1969 just to the West Allande Valley.
This massive occurrence gave off a large permanent light which
people saw for miles. Further, the noise was so loud
and destructive that it broke windows.
That's not uncommon with these things.
If they have much size to them at all, they're making a lot of
noise and they're living and they're leaving a a big hole in
the ground. Because of this and other
strange events, scientists from all over the world started to
become interested in the area. When it comes to places like
this, there will always be conspiracy theorists.
You can't get through one of these articles without that word
in there. I I starting to believe that
that if they use the word conspiracy theory at least once,
they get 1000 bucks from the CIA.
That's what I think. Honestly.
I mean why else would you use this word all the time?
However, in this case, the theories are very specifically
related to alien activity. People who visited, especially
people who've gotten lost, have reported seeing large blonde
human looking creatures. All they ask for is water, and
when quizzed as to where they came from, they say above.
However, once they have interaction, they disappear into
thin air without so much as a footprint.
That makes me almost think that them asking for water is almost
like a a symbolic act they're wanting a human to complete.
Obviously they don't need the water if they can disappear to
the air. Locals call people who flock to
the Zone to find aliens silencios or zoneros.
One story tells of a car full of Here We Go again, conspiracy
theorists stopping a local on the road and asking him where to
find the Zone of Silence. He responded by telling them to
drive up ahead and look for the place where Martians jump from
one side of the road to the other.
They thanked him without laughing and continued on their
way. Well, you're always going to
have people that are a little bit misguided.
The best time to visit the Mapini zone is between November
and May. This is the dry season in the
area and you're sure to get that desert experience.
Lots of people try to visit, try to seek out aliens and
paranormal experiences. In fact, so many people are
interested in the areas that different tourist opportunities
have cropped up over the years. People have seen how the rumors
of the area have brought curious people in and they've tried to
maximize on the opportunities. Seems a little judgmental.
The area is really remote, but one of the most popular things
to do is to hire a guy and get a tour of the area.
Some of the locals have been there for years and have amazing
stories to tell. For example, a man who runs a
local ranch accommodation said that he saw a light appear above
when he was 12 years old. He and his brother had been
exploring, and when they got back to their ranch, they
realized that they'd lost two hours.
In addition to exploring areas where your cell reception will
get scrambled, you can also check out an abandoned Hacienda
that was once abandoned that was once abandoned during the
Mexican Revolution. It's got some neat pictures of
cactus here and stuff to add to the local surrounding Zona del
Silencia is the fact is the fact that there are a whole bunch of
weird animals and plants in the area.
The stories of mutations of flora and fauna include a
beautiful purple cactus that supposedly does not exist
anywhere else and rare, and a rare version of the desert
tortoise. Little known fact, this Gophers
tortoise is North America's largest land reptile and is also
endangered. So you have this really
beautiful desert area with these endangered plants and animals.
And what did our government try to do?
Well, let's go ahead and load up a couple rockets full of
radioactive material and randomly shoot them off and see
if we can't accidentally land in Mexico.
And you got to wonder about these guys and they're telling
us that they need to keep secrets from us about UFOs.
In addition to the unique plants and animals, there's also a
thermal springs tucked into a cave.
So really, in addition to all of the rumors of aliens and the
scrambling of technology in the Bermuda Triangle in Mexico,
there's also some really cool stuff to do.
Now that was kind of AI would almost say tongue in cheek
article, but it gives you an idea of what's going on down
there. I want to take another look here
and and get a little further into this more recently.
This is from the mirror.co.uk March 16th 2024 says villagers
claim they are living among aliens, UFOs and
interdimensional portals. It is claimed by locals the
Mexican desert area. This is seen in many UFO
sightings and there are also a suggestion that radio signals
and other communication types cannot be received there.
Written by Graham Murray says dated March 16th, 2024,
villagers in a remote part of the world have made the
sensational claim that they live among aliens, UFOs and
interdimensional portals. Many residents in a remote
village in Mexico said they have seen almost everything from
mysterious flying objects to extraterrestrial life forms.
The small settlement of Linda Vista is located near the UNESCO
Mapimi Biosphere Reserve in the North Central area of the
country. The community is home to one of
three sites of the so-called Zone of Silence.
The desert area called the Mapimi Silence Zone is said to
be the scene of multiple alleged UFO sightings and an urban
legend exists at radio signals and other types of communication
cannot be received there. It's got a couple pictures, but
looks to me like a clearly a flying saucer, says community
leader Eugenio Aguilera said. We see spaceships arriving in
the middle of the night and wee hours of the morning.
We can hear the turbulence before they leave, but then it
suddenly starts up again. Local resident Evangelina
Alvarado claims she filmed an alien spaceship from her patio.
The clip shows a large silvery object hovering in the sky above
a mountain range. Alvarado said it is a being.
I took the video, and in that moment I could feel its stare.
A researcher told me that it wasn't San Muerto or Calvero,
that it was a being. A lot of tourists have had
unnatural experiences here, she said.
And they come back time and again because they say they've
never experienced anything like it, and they love it looks like
a flying Sasha. I like the fact that she calls
this thing a being. She's just seeing this thing as
some kind of entity. It's transforming into and out
of these different shapes that goes on here, it says.
Villagers also claim the area is home to interdimensional portals
and caves with unusual gravings of spaceships and mysterious
life forms. Egler said one of them has a
symbol of a sun, but nomads have never lived there.
It is said to be from another type of being.
If you look, there are carvings of a head like a Martian.
Interesting, yeah. A lot of these old sites do seem
to have images, paintings, whatever that look like some
sort of alien ET entities. A team of reporters from the
Mexican TV channel Tell Dorado went to Linda, went to Linda de
Visa to investigate the locals claims.
After interviewing multiple villagers, they said many of
them had videos of photos to accompany their tales.
The TV crew waited for nightfall and said they soon witnessed a
bright light traveling South in the sky that they initially
thought was a satellite. But they said their opinion
changed when the light suddenly changed course and ventured W
before mysteriously disappearing into the darkness.
The Mirror reported previously how they mystery of Mexico's
alien corpses, which yeah, blah blah blah, yeah.
So it seems like even when the news media went there, they
seemed to have found something very strange stuff going on
there. Now this one here is from
hubpages.com. It's got some more stuff on it
and we'll finish up with this just really cool area.
Lots of nice pictures. I'll put the links at the Kofi
and the local site and you can take a look for yourself.
It says interesting facts about the Zone of Silence in Mexico.
This is by Nithya Venkat, updated September 27th, 2022.
It says the Zone of Silence, also known as Lezona del
Silencio, is located 400 miles from El Paso, TX in Mexico.
This place is a desert with high deposits of uranium and
magnetite deposits. This zone has many strange rocks
and fossils. Mysterious happenings have been
recorded over time that cannot be explained.
To this day, no one has explained the strange happenings
in the Zone of Silence and it remains a mystery.
Unsolved the idea of this stuff has high deposits of radioactive
material might explain why they're there, and you can even
imagine how much more it would have excited them when those US
rockets landed with their radioactive cargo.
That says the discovery of the Zone of Silence in Mexico.
In 1930, Francisco, Serbia, A pilot reported that his
instruments did not work correctly and that his radio
stopped working. In 1970, an American missile
fired from the White Sands Missile Base in New Mexico went
off course and crashed in the Zone of Silence.
Some people believe the missile was pulled into the zone by
strange magnetic forces. the US Air Force officials investigated
the area where the missile disappeared.
It was found that both radio and satellite signals did not
penetrate the Zone of Silence. As a result, the Mexican
government has constructed a research station to investigate
the strange happenings in this area.
Strange activities such as Mystic lights, UFO sightings and
alien encounters have been reported in this zone.
Some believe this area could have been a could have been a
portal for aliens from outer space.
Well, that might explain all the different strange phenomena and
anomaly you have going on. There says there is no reliable
evidence support to support the claims of extraterrestrial
activities. However, the point to be noted
is that many strange events that cannot be explained.
However, the point to the point to be noted is that many strange
events that cannot be explained occur from time to time in this
area. Well, you know, you're talking
about evidence. How good is the evidence?
A woman has film, you know, videos and pictures of UFOs.
You can say, well, it's faked. Well, it's evidence.
We, you know, we we don't know how good it is because we
haven't really been able to analyze it and repeat it.
It says the Zone of Silence is parallel with the Egyptian
pyramids and the Bermuda Triangle.
It is located very close to the North Tropic of Cancer.
Scientists believe this could be one of the reasons for these
strange happenings in this area. Engineer Harry Dellapina was
responsible for discovering the disruption of signals in the
Zone of Silence. In 1966, Harry Dellapina, an
organic chemist, visited the Zone for a photographic survey.
Harry de Lapina and his group found they could not communicate
via walkie talkies. They also found that portable
radios did not work in the Zone of silence.
Weird stuff. TV signals cannot be received,
even the day and sabalas or the neighboring ranches.
Scientists believe that there is a magnetic force that overpowers
radio waves. Scientists worldwide visit this
Zone to explore the strange happenings of this area, hoping
to find a solution to this mystery.
Recently, the name of the Zone has been changed to the Marde
Test. See a test because it was under
the bottom of the ocean millions of years ago.
Yeah, they just love to change the names on stuff, you know?
Maybe the name Zone of Silence was just getting too much
attention, so they thought they would just write it off the map.
It says reported incidents. In October 13th, 1975, Ernesto
and Josefina Diaz drove to the Zone of Silence to collect rocks
and fossils. After some time, they noticed a
thunderstorm heading their way. They packed their gear as fast
as they could and drove away, but they could not escape the
thunderstorm. The vehicle got stuck in the
slushy desert sands and they could not get their car out of
the mud. Then suddenly from nowhere, two
figures approached them and pushed their vehicle out of the
slush. But when they got down to thank
them, they were nowhere to be found.
It was as though they had disappeared into thin air.
Weird. Maybe they just wanted them out
of there. On the evening of September
1976, the residents of Sibal saw a large object hovering in mid
air. Lights surrounded the object and
a deep humming sound was heard from the strange object.
In 1976, the very first photograph of a UFO that landed
near a magnetic hill was snapped by a person who was visiting the
Zone of Silence. The photo shows a tiny silver
object hovering in the air. As the object rose to the sky,
the person could take more pictures of the object.
Well, that's what you call evidence.
Ruben Lopez was driving through the zone of Silas to visit a
relative who stayed in Sabalas. As he was driving, he noticed
that his engine began to stall. Suddenly, he saw five small
figures standing along the roadside some distance away.
He noticed that the figures were silver suits and helmets.
As they approached the van, Lopez switched his engine to
neutral. Then he turned the engine to
neutral. When he turned the engine to
neutral, the strange figures disappeared into the desert.
After this, the engine started functioning and Lopez could
drive his vehicle. It's almost like they're just
there looking for him. I don't know.
The Zone of Silence has ancient ruins that pose a complex puzzle
to archaeologists. The origin and age of the ruins
cannot be determined and remain a mystery.
However, archaeologists are sure that the ruins belong to an
ancient observatory built thousands of years ago.
That would be something if that was actually an observatory that
was thousands of years old. Yeah, cool stuff going on there
in the Zone of Silence. This is something I've heard
about, but I've never really gotten too far into.
Seems like a great topic though. Until next time, this is UFO
Warning. Over and out.
