Scientists assure that this territory in its mysteriousness is comparable to the Bermuda Triangle, Egyptian pyramids and Buddhist monasteries in the Himalayas.
There are many mysterious places in the world where, since time immemorial, various difficult-to-explain, if not completely inexplicable things have happened. One of these places is the so-called "Zone of Silence" in Mexico. It is also called the "Tethys Sea" - after the name of the ancient ocean that flooded these places millions of years ago. This "zone" is located in the north of the country, on the border of three Mexican states: Durango, Chihuahua and Coahuila, next to the small town of Ceballos and four hundred miles south of the Texas town of El Paso.
The "Zone of Silence" is a flat, dull plain, on which frail thorny bushes and cacti are found only occasionally, and only poisonous snakes are abundant. Nevertheless, people have settled here since prehistoric times, building their settlements around a few springs, which for the most part all have dried up - with the exception of a few. From a scenic point of view, it is nevertheless a very impressive area: blue, almost always cloudless skies and red-yellow sandy soil. This whole exotic picture is bordered by lilac-orange low mountains. Only along the edges of the "zone", closer to the mountains, are local residents living today.
Once here, any person experiences an inexplicable fear. But the main "charm" of this place is that the engines of cars suddenly go out here, not a single TV is receiving transmissions (hence the name given by the locals), for some unknown reason the clock stops, and the compass needle dances like crazy, confusing parts of the world … The radio receivers are also mostly silent here, but there are few places in the "zone" where you can direct the antenna so that even a low-power receiver comes to life and starts receiving stations, for example, from Japan or China. However, most often radio receivers are either silent or broadcast some kind of incomprehensible speech in unknown languages. Even here, unusual mutations have been recorded in representatives of the local flora and fauna, although no radioactive radiation has been detected. With the onset of dusk, a bright glow in the form of small rings is observed in the sky above the "Zone of Silence", which then merge into balls of fire and are carried away high into the sky. Locals call them "crazy lights", apparently because they rush about the desert in a disorderly manner, never approaching a person.
According to scientists, the "Zone of Silence" in its mystery is comparable to the Bermuda Triangle, the Egyptian pyramids and Buddhist monasteries in the Himalayas. The most interesting thing is that it is located on the same latitude as these world famous places. And now add to all this eyewitness accounts that meteorites literally fall from the sky in the "Zone of Silence", that "flying saucers" appear here every now and then and aliens from other worlds wander, and you will get a complete picture.
Researchers have found a lot of factual evidence of the veracity of similar stories told by a wide variety of people. A group of scientists that went to the "Zone of Silence" after they were informed that an unidentified flying object had landed there the day before, found in the place indicated by eyewitnesses an area of vegetation scorched by fire, particles of a combustible substance unknown to science and an incredibly high level of radiation. Dozens of such "evidence" obtained through eyewitness accounts are currently stored in scientific laboratories in Mexico and the United States.
According to the Mexican professor Santiago Garcia, who has devoted a significant part of his life to the study of this anomalous area, the unusual properties of the strange and mysterious "Zone of Silence" were first recorded at the end of the 19th century, when a group of farmers, vainly trying to grow cereals on barren land, periodically fell under a hail of hot rubble, which from time to time fell from a completely clear sky. In 1930, aviator Francis Sarabia, a resident of one of the northern Mexican states, wrote a report on how, during a flight over the "Zone of Silence" in the plane, all devices, including radio communications, mysteriously failed. He became the first victim of the "cursed" land, a kind of Bermuda Triangle on land, whose name is documented.
In principle, pure chance helped to "officially" discover the "Zone of Silence". In 1964, chemical engineer Harry de la Peña was doing a geophysical survey in this deserted area near the San Ignacio hill, and his radio suddenly failed. He returned to the base to repair what he believed to be a broken apparatus, but it turned out at the base that the radio was in perfect working order. At the next visit to the mysterious place, history repeated itself - the radio refused to work. From that moment on, discoveries in the "Zone of Silence" rained down one after another. About the meteorites literally falling from the sky like rain, they learned just during this period. Despite the proximity of the United States, from where, it would seem, dozens of scientists should have immediately come to study the mysteries of nature, nevertheless, no one took up full-fledged experiments. It would be logical to assumethat there is a secret military base nearby (maybe underground), the powerful installations of which turn all the ether upside down. But no one, including the Americans, has such a technique yet, all the more so in 1964.

Seriously, for real, both the authorities and the public became interested in the strange zone in the 70s of the last century, when the American experimental rocket Athena, launched from the White Sands base in the USA, suddenly changed course and, as if attracted by a magnet, flew into The zone of silence”. There, she immediately collapsed to the ground, scattering to pieces. After the disaster, the desert was literally soured by the Americans, who not only carefully collected almost all the debris of the rocket, but also removed several more trucks of soil from the place of its fall. What they found in it - until then, no one knows, all research data are strictly classified.
A few years after Athena, one of the stages of the Saturn rocket, the launch vehicle of the famous Apollo spacecraft, exploded over the zone. After that, according to media reports, the US military sent a special team to study the mysterious features of the ill-fated territory. One of the first scientists to investigate the "Zone of Silence" and its strange properties was John Martignano, it was his group who proved that communication with the help of portable radio stations was impossible in this place. As stated in the report, there is a kind of "magnetic force that suppresses radio waves" in the region.
It was not only the Americans who comprehended the secrets of the "zone", the Mexicans also began to explore the mysterious place. To do this, they built a scientific town with a laboratory, which they dubbed "Biosphere", in order to study unusual forms of biological life and amazing paranormal phenomena on the spot. Such as, for example, an increase of almost thirty percent (compared to the hottest places on Earth) in solar radiation. So far, no one can give an explanation for this more than strange phenomenon. As, however, and met a huge turtle with yellow eyes, as well as smaller turtles, but with two heads, or two-headed lizards. Or, for example, large stone balls of almost perfect shape. Who brought them here and why? Or were they made right here? In addition, Mexican scientists collect and study testimonies of local residents, to listen to which,in their words, it means to look beyond the possible.
However, scientists try, whenever possible, to explain all anomalous phenomena by material causes. For example, Dr. Santiago Garcia has suggested that some of the wandering lights may have come from an experimental reconnaissance robot being tested here by the US Armed Forces. During the day, his solar panels were automatically recharged, and at night he secretly performed his research. As for the inoperative radio stations and radios, Santiago Garcia believes that the reason for this is the rich deposits of iron ore, which is the reason for the suppression of electromagnetic waves, because it has been proven that there are rich deposits of magnetite in this area, and the rocks of the ridges surrounding the "Zone of Silence" contain a significant amount of uranium, although, as already mentioned, no increased radiation emission was recorded.
The "zone" was investigated not only by scientists, but also by journalists. So, in November 1978, the Mexican journalist Luis Ramirez Reyes went to the "zone" as part of a group of his colleagues. Deciding to get ahead of the rest of the group and quickly arrive at the Biosphere Science City, Ramirez and his photographer rode a jeep deep into the desert. They were still very far from their destination when Ramirez suddenly realized that they had not taken any supplies with them - neither water nor provisions, and could easily die of thirst and hunger if they suddenly got lost in the harsh and lifeless area. Having reached a fork in the sandy road with a barely rolled track, Ramirez and the photographer chose, as it later turned out, the wrong road. After some time, Ramirez noticed three figures wandering towards them ahead. Hoping that these are locals,from whom it would be possible to find out the way to the "Biosphere", he asked the photographer who was sitting at the wheel to stop the car near the people. But, to Ramirez's surprise, the jeep drove past without slowing down. When asked why the photographer did not stop near the people walking along the road, he replied that he had not seen anyone on the road. Ramirez got scared: he decided that the desert had already affected his psyche and he began to hallucinate. The jeep, meanwhile, drove a couple more miles, and Ramirec, to his amazement, again spotted the same three "locals" ahead. The photographer still saw no one on the road. When the car drew level with the figures, Ramirez asked the photographer to stop and asked people about the road to the Biosphere. They explained in detail where to turn off and how to get there. When asked what they were doing here in the middle of the night, people said,that they are local and that they are looking here for their lost sheep and goats, although they did not have flasks of water or special equipment needed by travelers in the harsh conditions here.
Ramirez and his photographer, amazed by the conversation with the emptiness, safely reached the "Biosphere". When they met with the rest of the group, Ramirez talked about the strange meeting. The head of the laboratory, Harry de la Peña, who was attentively listening to him (who by that time had begun to actively study the "zone" and worked in the "Biosphere"), noted with displeasure that there were no peasants or other people in the desert, except for the arrived group of correspondents and those who made permanent contingent of the scientific town. And, of course, there are no sheep or goats to look after. They are not there, if only because the animals simply have nothing to eat in the desert. In the following days, a survey of the area made it possible to make sure that the desert was completely deserted for tens of miles around …
The strange and chaotic story of the journalist might seem like a fantastic invention if he did not find confirmation in the testimonies of other people. In particular, the owners of a small ranch located on the very edge of the "Zone of Silence". According to the stories of these completely sane and sober people, three strange people - beautiful fair-skinned blondes with long hair - visited them more than once. They spoke excellent Spanish, but with a strange "mechanical" accent. They were extremely courteous, welcoming and always asked permission only to draw water from the well, without even stuttering about food. The ranchers asked several times who they were and where they came from. The strangers did not answer the first question, and the second they just smiled mysteriously and pointed to the sky.
Another mystery of the "Zone of Silence" is the incredibly ancient ruins of a complex of gigantic stone structures of unknown purpose, over the mystery of which many archaeologists and historians puzzle. Scientists have not yet been able to determine their age, which is undoubtedly several millennia. It is impossible to determine more precisely, because the stone is generally very difficult to date. According to some scholars, the ruins are a unique observatory built in time immemorial. Obviously, in ancient times, an educated people, well acquainted with mathematics and astronomy, lived in this area, closely observing the heavenly bodies and obsessed with the idea of gods flying to earth from distant stars.
By all indications, these buildings could not have been erected by primitive people who once settled near rare springs. Consequently, people who have sufficiently advanced knowledge and developed technology to build such megalithic structures have lived or have been here. But is this possible?
However, such riddles to archaeologists are presented not only by the "Zone of Silence". For example, in the main pyramid of the not so far away city of Palenque (called the "Temple of the Inscriptions"), which was built by skilled craftsmen of the Maya tribe in the 6th-8th centuries AD, a crypt with a sarcophagus was discovered during excavations in 1952. On the lid of the sarcophagus, the Mayan supreme god Kukulkan was depicted. Everything would be fine, but Kukulkan was depicted in a spacesuit, sitting at the control panel of the spacecraft. So, at least, many Mexican historians identified the unusual image. To come to this opinion, they were prompted not only by the image itself, but also by the numerous myths and legends of the ancestors of modern Mexicans. All of them tell about the coming from heaven of their main deity - Quetzalcoatl. According to their beliefs, the god Quetzalcoatl (Feathered Serpent),descending from the heavenly heights to earth, showed the Aztecs the place where they should build the capital of their state - on one of the islands of Lake Texcoco, where an eagle sat on a cactus holding a snake in its claws.
The giant sculptures at the top of the pyramid in the city of Tula, located near Mexico City, look like real astronauts. This city was founded by the Toltec tribes in the 9th century AD. The Olmecs, even more ancient ancestors of the Mexicans who lived in the south of the country in the 13-14 centuries BC, also, in all likelihood, had connections with aliens from other worlds. This is clearly indicated by the multi-tone stone heads of strange creatures found in those places, reminiscent of human faces in spacesuits. This is also evidenced by the giant street of the dead in the huge city of Teotihuacan, built by the ancestors of the Aztecs in the first millennium of our era. This "street" is about four kilometers long and forty meters wide; it is ideally stretched from south to north towards the pyramid of the Moon, the second deity after the Sun. All these parameters, plus a perfectly flat surface, indicate that this is, most likely, a real runway, as if specially built to receive and send huge ships into space. If not ships, then planes - for sure. But we will tell about these historical mysteries in one of the next Saturday issues, because this topic is worthy of more detailed coverage. In this article about the "Zone of Silence", we have cited these data only as confirmation that stories about aliens and other strange phenomena of the "zone" are no exception.because this topic is worthy of more detailed coverage.

As for the "Zone of Silence" itself, local residents constantly talk about "flying saucers" and even about contacts with representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations (not counting those three fair-haired people). For example, on October 3, 1975, the spouses Ernesto and Josephine Diaz, entrepreneurs and amateur archaeologists, drove into the “zone” in their Ford pickup truck, intending to collect unusual stones and fossilized remains of ancient animals. Carried away by collecting finds, the couple did not immediately notice the impending thunderstorm, and when they noticed, they hurriedly collected and put their finds in the car and rushed away from the oncoming elements. However, a thunderstorm nevertheless overtook them, and the dirt clay road under the wheels of the car instantly turned into a real swamp. The Ford skidded to a stop. The wheels sank more and more into the soggy soil. While Ernesto and Josephine tried to prevent the car from getting completely bogged down in the mud, two human figures appeared in the distance. They walked to the car through the torrents of rain and waved their hands affably. They were two very tall guys in yellow waterproof raincoats and hats. They offered their help to the already desperate and completely wet people. As the Diaz spouses later said, the faces of the strangers were unusual, but they did not inspire fear, and they gratefully accepted their help. The guys asked the spouses to sit back in the cab of the car, and they themselves moved to the back of the body. And before Ernesto and Josephine knew what was happening, their car literally flew out of a huge puddle of liquid mud onto solid ground. When Ernesto came to his senses, came out of the cockpit to thank the unexpected saviors, they were nowhere to be seen. They seemed to have disappeared. The couple wondered for a long timehow they could so quickly disappear from sight on this flat, practically bare ground, but never came to any conclusion.
Scientists were not surprised by this story, they had heard a lot of such stories, but they asked themselves the question: what were these two guys doing there, in principle? And who are they? Let's say aliens. But it is unlikely that they were from the squad of "General space ambulance in difficult situations." Perhaps they, like modern geologists and archaeologists, were attracted by the mystery of the origin of small meteorites scattered here in huge quantities, which the "Zone of Silence" attracts like a huge magnet, or other mysterious phenomena that now and then happen in the "zone". And, perhaps - but this opinion is shared only by the most daring scientists - they simply used this "zone" as a kind of "gateway" from world to world. Perhaps, traveling in their ships through time and space, they use the magnetic anomalies of the "zone" as some kind of motion accelerators? After all, it is knownthat the largest amount of evidence of strange space objects comes from zones with magnetic anomalies.
As for the meteorites, they literally chose this area - they just don't fall on their heads. This happens not only now, it has always been so, as long as there is evidence of the secrets of the "zone". In the late 50s of the last century, a meteorite that fell near Chihuahua (the capital of the state of the same name), according to media reports, contained "crystal structures that are much older than our solar system." According to Professor Luis Maeda Villalobos, “the material of this meteorite is as ancient as the universe itself; The solar system is 5 billion years old, and this meteorite is as much as 7 billion years older "…
In addition to meteorites, strange people and circles and balls glowing in the sky, local residents often noticed other UFOs and humanoid creatures. (Here I would like to make a small digression about UFOs - so that the reader does not accuse the author of being addicted to all sorts of outlandish things and belief in all kinds of “saucers.” UFOs are just an UNIDENTIFIED flying object. an alien ship, as well as a modern atmospheric probe, a meteorite fragment, an optical phenomenon … But you never know what else! In other words, the term UFO itself should not be taken as a designation of an unambiguously alien device, so it is probably better to use another abbreviation - AYa, which means anomalous phenomenon). The earliest reliable evidence of such encounters with intelligent beings of strange appearance and behavior date back to the beginning of the 20th century.
Such messages have not stopped in our days. Travelers, locals, scientists who regularly cross the "zone" still report strange lights or fireballs moving above the ground at night. For a while, they hang motionless in the air, changing their color, and then suddenly take off and disappear with the speed of lightning. Two farmers returning home from a party said that they saw a huge UFO in the form of a brightly glowing ball, which fell from the dark sky to the ground, and humanoids came out of it, glowing with the same strange light. The humanoids went to the stunned farmers, but they came to their senses and fled. The next morning they returned to this place together with scientists, and they once again, after similar reports, found a burnt piece of land and scorched bunches of grass.
The first photographic image of a UFO in the "Zone of Silence" was taken in 1976. It was a snapshot of a certain object that landed near a local topographic landmark - Magnetic Mountain. The photographs clearly show a sparkling silvery object that looks like a huge culinary spatula - the one that housewives turn over potatoes or cutlets. A lucky reporter from a local newspaper managed to take some pictures and during the takeoff of the UFO, when it soared up with a loud roar, rushed to the west and quickly disappeared from sight. The pictures made a splash. However, orthodox scientists declared them to be a fake, completely ignoring the fact that the reporter had witnesses, and there were many pictures - a whole series, and they were taken on film, and film is not modern photoshop for you.
As for the humanoids, there are numerous reports of encounters with strangely dressed dwarfs only a few tens of centimeters tall. When local businessman Ruben Lopez was driving through the "zone" to Ceballos at night, his car's engine suddenly began to malfunction. He was surprised because the car had just been fully serviced. Ahead, about thirty meters away, Lopez noticed five small figures standing at the edge of the road. His first thought was that they were lost children. As he rode closer, he noticed that the figures were dressed in silver overalls, and their heads were hidden by helmets similar to motorcycle ones. The figurines began to approach the car, as if surrounding it, and the frightened Lopez threw sharply in neutral, the engine howled, and the dwarfs about fifty centimeters in height rushed scatteringly into the darkness. After these strange figures disappeared from sight, the car engine started working normally again.
Naturally, scientists could not help but be interested in the questions: what are the reasons for the appearance of numerous UFOs and AI? If these are alien objects, then why do they appear exactly here and where do they come from? What kind of people lived here in ancient times? There are no answers. The "Biosphere" is visited by scientists from all over the world, it is a kind of base camp for numerous studies. Meanwhile, numerous aliens visit the "Zone of Silence" as before, and the mysterious stone bas-reliefs in the ruins of the pyramids still tacitly keep secrets about the past.
