Inhabitants of the community of Ceballos, Durango, some twenty-five miles away (the settlement nearest to the zone) were quick to point out television signals could never be received in the town or neighboring ranches. Television, radio, short wave, microwave, nor satellite signals can penetrate the zone. military team noted that no radio signals could travel through the air. Again, the United States military sent a special team to the area to investigate its mysterious properties. In the years that followed, rumors circulated that the sand’s bizarre properties somehow contributed to the United States’ stealth fighter military program.Ī few years later, an upper stage from one of the Saturn boosters used on the Apollo project broke up and crashed in the very same area. They took along several truckloads of desert sand for analysis. When the Air Force came to collect the Athena missile’s wreckage, they noted that the area prohibited radio transmissions. An American Athena missile fired from the White Sands Missile Base mysteriously veered off course and crashed into the Zone of Silence. It wasn’t until the 1970’s though, that the Zona Del Silencio entered the public eye. The first documented occurrence of the radio wave blackout occurred in the 1930’s when Francisco Sarabia, an aviator from the northern Mexican state of Coahuila, reported that his radio had mysteriously stopped working when he flew over the area.

Just four hundred miles south of El Paso, Texas, the Zone of Silence gobbles up radio and TV signals with no remorse. But the area’s name derives from an odd anomaly that prohibits radio waves from transmitting inside the zone. Since the mid-nineteenth century, farmers who worked the parched land told of “hot pebbles” that fell to the earth from the sky and many reports of extraterrestrial visitors originate in the area. In this area is the home of several rare, mutant species of animals including the purple cactus and a malformed version of the desert tortoise.
