According to the staff there, all three members of the group dressed in clothing that was “not at all suitable for a desert environment.” One ranch, in particular, claims more than its fair share of encounters with this trio. This trio consists of one woman accompanied by two men – all blondes. There have been testimonies about strange beings in the Zone: specifically, the same three people on a regular basis. However, some experts point out that the Zone of Silence has not attracted any more meteors than normal. A lot of these meteorites consist of iron or other metals that are attracted to magnetic fields. ![]() Purportedly, many meteorites that penetrate Earth’s atmosphere tend to end up close to the area too. Some investigators that have studied the area and its possible effects believe that these higher levels of minerals are responsible for the lack of signals deep within the zone. Although unproven, one of the traits most often associated with the area is the high levels of magnetite and uranium. Maybe this desert area is unique in this regard. There appear to be a number of anomalies about the zone that can be classed as unusual. Perhaps they arrived at these conclusions because the Zone runs in near-longitudinal alignment to the Giza Plateau and the Bermuda Triangle – between 25° and 29° North. ![]() There have been enough reports of activity that some people have drawn parallels between the Zone of Silence and other areas of the world, such as the Dragon’s Triangle close to Japan and the famed Bermuda Triangle. These anecdotes chronicle everything from strange lights in the sky to rectangular aircraft to people appearing almost out of nowhere. Few of the reports are credible, and the overwhelming majority of them have not received an adequate explanation. In addition to stories about loss of radio signals and communication, countless reports of anomalous events have surfaced about the Zone of Silence.

However, there are no official reports that suggest the US government indeed experienced any of these problems. The popular conclusion among theorists is that local magnetic fields have somehow created a dark zone for modern technology. Television and satellite signals were also experiencing disruptions. But something more than just interrupted radio signals was happening. Without effective communications, coordination between the teams was much more difficult. Retrieval of the AthenaĪs the legends go, when the retrieval team entered the site, they quickly realized that something was affecting all communications. They worked quickly and covertly to secure the area and begin a search for the radioactive capsule. When the US government requested permission to enter the area and retrieve the debris, the Mexican government allowed officials access to the site. This was about 500 miles south of the border. Instead, the rocket developed a fault, overshot its intended destination by more than 500 miles and ended up crashing in the Zone of Silence at 26.7467 N and 103.7458 E. Its final stage carrying a capsule of radioactive Cobalt-57 was supposed to drop down in the desert of White Sands, New Mexico. On July 11, 1970, the Athena RTV V123D rocket launched from Green River Complex in Utah. The missions were a joint task between the USAF and the US Army and were designed to investigate the impacts on the missiles as a result of reentry into the atmosphere. Rocket Lands in the Zone of Silenceĭuring the Cold War, the White Sands Missile Base in New Mexico had been conducting a series of tests using Athena RTV (reentry test vehicle) rockets. ![]() See also: Nevada Triangle Steve Fossett Mystery U.S. These reports of radio blackouts gave the Zone of Silence an eerie reputation, but what occurred several years after de la Peña’s first expedition into the zone would cause a flurry in the UFO, pseudoscience, and conspiracy theorist communities, and the legends grew. What he discovered was that the dead zones were not fixed they appeared to move around from place to place, and he was unable to pinpoint the exact locations of radio interference. Having taken great interest in these radio anomalies, he went back to the zone several times to attempt to repeat the phenomenon. It was de la Peña who described the area as “the zone of silence.” Since then, the term stuck and has been used repeatedly. During his expedition, he encountered a dead or “silent” zone that affected his radio communications. Then later in 1964, a PEMEX engineer, Harry de la Peña, was surveying the desert in the quest to run an oil pipeline to Jiménez, Chihuahua.
