Zone of Silence - Mexico - The Incredible Truth
Zone Of Silence
There is an area in the Chihuahuan
desert in northern Mexico, which is named as the Zone of Silence. Behind the
name there are many reasons. The urban tale claims it is an area where radio
signals and any type of communications can’t be received. This area is
sometimes compared to the Bermuda Triangle, as both are located between
parallels 26 and 28. One can say that it is a Mexican version of the Bermuda
Triangle.

Legends
The first legend began in the
1930s after the pilot Francisco Sarabia once had to make an emergency landing
due to “radio anomalies”. Sarabia found
that his instruments were not acting properly. His all radio equipments also
failed to work at all.
Later in 1964, a PEMEX engineer,
Harry de la Peña, was surveying the desert to run an oil pipeline to Jimenez,
Chihuahua. During his job, he found a dead or ‘silent’ place, which affected his
radio communications. He described the area as “the zone of silence”.

He went back to the zone several
times to attempt to repeat the phenomenon of radio anomalies. Then he
discovered that the dead or silent zones were not fixed, rather they appeared
to move around from place to place. So he was unable to detect the exact
locations of radio interference.
Environment of the area
The environment of the area is
unique. There are 31 species of endemic plants, such as certain species of
Cactaceae, and 75 species of protected animals, particularly the desert
tortoise. There is also having fossils and arrowheads in respectable
quantities.
Conclusion
This is also an unsolved mystery of the world like Bermuda
triangle and others. But some day science will of course find a way to explain the
“Zone of silence”.
