High levels of magnetite have been discovered there, and scientist have also found that the area is a hot bed for meteorite activity, raising speculation that there may be some unusual magnetic properties associated with the minerals in the chalky soil. Research has show that there may be some natural anomaly associated with the region. The primary purpose of the research facility is to study the plant and animal life of the unusual region.īut rumors have it that a lot more research is going on there than meets the eye - if there were any eyes in this remote part of the world to see it. The Mexican government has since constructed a research complex in the Zone of Silence, a place the scientists assigned there call the biosphere. The name, Zone of Silence, was quickly adopted, and researchers began flocking to the remote location shortly thereafter. No television, radio, short wave, microwave, or satellite signals seem to penetrate this zone. Within an unspecified and sometimes shifting area within the Zone, radio signals fail to travel through the air, creating a type of dark zone. Subsequently a team of U.S.Īir Force investigators, with Mexican government approval, journeyed to the crash site and made an unexpected discovery. In 1970 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 and made the world aware of the unique and apparently unusual properties of the area. It was later deduced that radio waves cannot be transmitted in and above the area due to local magnetic fields. The Zone of Silence was first identified in the 1930's by pilot, Francisco Sarabia when he claimed his radio stopped working and the plane's instruments went wild while flying over the area in northern Mexico. The zone is known for being home of rare species like an endemic version of the desert tortoise and the purple cactus. The area is located between the states of Durango, Chihuahua, and Coahuila between parallels 26 and 28 in a place known as Trino Vertex.
