MAPIMI SILENT ZONE, MEXICO
What if in the middle of the desert, all your radio signals stop and you are not able to hear what the other person is talking?
If you’ve been lucky(or rather unlucky must I say?) you are standing in the silent zone. Want to know how you escape such a scenario? Read more.
The Mapimí Silent Zone (Spanish: La Zona del Silencio) is the popular name for a desert patch near the Bolsón de Mapimí in Durango, Mexico, overlapping the Mapimí Biosphere Reserve. It is the subject of an urban myth that claims it is an area where radio signals and any type of communications cannot be received.[1][2)
However, communications equipment tends to work properly in the zone. Guides assert that the zone moves around; as a result locals are highly skeptical of the zone's existence.[3]
In July 1970, an Athena test missile launched from a U.S. military base near Green River, Utah toward White Sands Missile Range lost control and fell in the Mapimí Desert region.[4] The rocket was carrying two small containers of cobalt 57, a radioactive element commonly associated with the construction of Salted bombs.[5][6] After several weeks of searching, local farmers found and reported the crash in the Northeast corner of the State of Durango. Once the rocket was found, a road was built to transport the wreckage, along with a small amount of contaminated top soil. As a result of the US Air Force recovery operations there, a number of myths and stories relating to the area arose, including "strange magnetic anomalies that prevent radio transmission", mutations of flora and fauna, and extraterrestrial visitations.(source: Wikipedia)
These silent zones can be reasoned by science in the course of time. People go around making claims about these phenomenons just to get attention from the wide world. Silent zones mentioned here keep moving and are very difficult to locate. Why bother about non existent zones when we don't even know of their existence and nature...

this silent zone which keeps moving is not reliable. no one can veify it.. so why believe it?
ReplyDeletethis very much sounds like a conspiracy theory. why should there be news about just this place.? needs more verification..
ReplyDeletesilent zones as far as my knowledge are fiction.. since it cannot be proved and even if there are silent zones.. it will be quite interesting..
ReplyDeletethe theory appears to be true and there is no reason to not believe this.. its better to be prepared for such zones though..
