3. The Zone of Silence is between Chihuahua, Coahuila and
Durango (Bolson de Mapimi).
The Zone of Silence was first reported in the 1930 by
Francisco Sarabia, Mexican driver who said that his radio
mysteriously failed while flying overhead. Since then, many
people who have visited the area have reported that the
radio signals fade to enter it, and stop compasses point to
magnetic north. However, none has presented strong
evidence to support his claim, and less obvious
solutions, like the remoteness of the area means that radio
and television did not have enough power, or that such
area may be rich in iron ore .
4. The area is two thousand meters above sea
level, and interestingly is about latitude 27
north, on which there is the Bermuda
Triangle, the Himalayas and the Pyramids of
Egypt.
5. The Zone of Silence is awesome and overwhelming, and there
is frequent meteorite falls, while other phenomena that occur
without explanation: changes in the movement of the hands
of a clock, disturbance in the compasses, radios stop working
and stunted fauna alternates with desert stretches.
6. It's called Zone of Silence because there is
not any noise, but because the radio
airwaves can not be transmitted in a
common way. You have to find some bands
where you can communicate, but always
poorly. This lack of communication with the
outside, both for transmitting and
receiving, was what gave him the name of
Zone of Silence.
7. Another fact that came to give more fame to the
place, says Walter, was the fall in July 1970 the U.S.
Athena rocket, which was launched by NASA from the
base of Green River, Utah, bound for the White Sands
base in New Mexico. For some failure, the rocket
deviated from its original path to fall about five miles
of the hill "San Ignacio", near the area that years
before Mr. de la Peña made known with the famous
radio signal failures .
8. The incident appeared in local newspapers
but NASA said nothing. Coincidentally, some
NASA scientists were a few months before the
fall of the rocket in this region, which gives
lectures and visiting the place where fell the
famous Allende meteorite in the town of
Allende, Chihuahua, on 8 February 1969,
about 170 km (straight line) of the Zone of
Silence.

10. Some persons say that
There is bad…
But in my opinion, i like this case, and I hope can
investigate about that.
