Question

collect the information about silent zone

Answer 1

When it comes to conspiracy theories, there's a big difference between some harmless urban legends and a dangerous or potentially threatening belief. If I were to tell you that meteorite detritus rains down on the earth in a wispy web, you might think it's a spooky phenomenon and tell all your friends on the playground [source: Doherty]. However, if you were to believe that space aliens made the ancient Peruvian geoglyphs called the Nazca lines -- and then you trampled over them in an attempt to collect "samples" -- your fun little hobby would now be seriously damaging to the archaeological record [source: Golomb].

So with that being said, there's two ways to approach the Zone of Silence (or La Zona del Silencio), the infamously "mystical" spot in the Mapimí Biosphere Reserve in Durango, Mexico. On one hand, we could have fun with it and talk about the legends that abound -- that radio and television signals become scrambled in the area; that compasses refuse to function or that large people are spotted before disappearing into thin air. Perhaps the most titillating tale is the missile that was launched in the U.S. and mysteriously ended up landing right plop in the middle of the Zone of Silence -- 400 miles (644 kilometers) south of its intended target

Answer 2

Answer:The Mapimí Silent Zone  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.

Scientists have dubbed this area as the "Mar de Tetys", or the Sea of Thetys, because this area was once completely submerged in water. This is evidenced by traces of marine life fossils found in the area.

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. When the rocket went off course, it was carrying two small containers of cobalt 57, a radioactive element.

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, and the missile wreckage and a small amount of contaminated top soil was transported away.
