The Zone of Silence
Located on an ancient seabed in the southern part of the Chihuahua Desert, separated by low mountain ranges is Bolson de Mapimi. It is said there is a strange magnetic condition about the land that causes vortices to form that stretch up into the upper atmosphere.
The land contains huge amounts of magnetite and uranium deposits. Some of the rocks feature an unusual content of rare metals such as ruthenium, rhodium, and a relatively stable isotope Technetium 97, that is radioactive. The area is abundant with physical oddities including abnormally large growth patterns in the vegetation and wildlife.
In 1930, Francisco Sarabia Tinoco was performing test flights. As he flew his plane, the Conquistador del Cielo over the area, his instruments became unresponsive, his compass was unable to point north, and he lost all communication with the base. He felt as if he were in a vacuum.
In 1964, Harry de la Pena, an engineer, surveyed a thirteen mile stretch of the desert land preparing for oil pipeline that would extend to Jimenez, Chihuahua. During his expedition, his team became frustrated when they continuously failed to maintain proper radio signal that was imperative in order to communicate between team members. They could find no explanation for why this was occurring. He described the area as “the zone of silence.”
After the surveying was completed, Harry having great interest in the anomalies that had taken place, returned to investigate some more. Despite returning numerous times in an attempt to repeat the phenomena, he discovered the silent zones were not fixed, but in fact appeared to move around.
The Green River Launch Complex is a sub-installation of White Sands Missile Range near Green River, Utah. They had been conducting a series of tests designed to investigate the impact on missiles as a result of reentry into the atmosphere. On July 11, 1970, they launched a Lockheed Martin Athena V-123-D test missile. Its intended target was the White Sands Missile Base in New Mexico.
However, because of an abnormal re-entry into the atmosphere it impacted 200 miles south of the Mexican border in the Mapimi Desert. It was determined the crash was the result of complete loss of all communication relays onboard the craft. The rocket was carrying two small vials of Cobalt 57, an isotope used to enhance radioactive fallout with the intention of contaminating large areas of land.
Since the crash, Mexican authorities established a research facility in the Zone of Silence called the Mapimi Biosphere Reserve. The facility’s function is the study of mutations among the flora and animal population. Tortoise shells are found in the shape of triangles and coyotes grow to twice their normal size. Cacti can be seen morphing into strange colors such as purple.
Ranchers began witnessing unexplained phenomenon in the night skies. Mysterious halos and strange lights that changed color were a common occurrence. Bright streaks of fire landed in the desert that left burn marks on the ground. In September 1976, a massive, rectangular shaped craft about 900 feet in length with pulsating lights hovered overhead in the night sky. In addition, there have been testimonies about strange visitors; a woman and two men with blond hair. They were wearing strange clothing not at all suitable for desert environment. They would ask for water from a well to fill their canteens. When a rancher asked them where they were from, they replied, “from above.” Then they would vanish without leaving any footprints behind.
As Hector Alvarez, a park ranger at the Mapimi Biosphere Reserve worked each night, he kept a diary. It was not a diary detailing the beautiful landscape. Rather it contained handwritten accounts of strange encounters and unexplained occurrences; occurrences that took place in the night sky. Among these were glowing orbs and colorful flying triangles. They measured approximately six feet across, had borders of prismatic color, and the inside contained translucent bands of shifting colors. At times one triangle would appear and other times they would be a group of three. He said the triangles were equilateral and tilted at a 105° angle. On several nights, Hector attempted to photograph the strange triangles, but his camera would malfunction.
He journaled about something strange that happened to all the computers at the station one night. The speakers began blaring a strange white noise, even those that had no power turned on after which the computers malfunctioned. When the technician came the following morning, he found that all the motherboards had been subjected to high amounts of heat or radiation. He also mentioned how patches of paint on the walls would change color and sometimes in triangular patterns. The last entry was March 15, 2003. The diary was found on the desk one morning, but Hector was never seen again.
Officials only said that Hector had left his post that night and did not return for his next shift. However, his car was still at the station the next morning. A large triangular discoloration was discovered on the wall in the morning that was emitting trace amounts of radiation. Upon analyzing, the wall was found to contain Technetium isotopes whose origin was the night that Hector disappeared.
