SUBJECT: THE ZONE OF SILENCE FILE: UFO2998 - This area is known as the ZONE OF SILENCE some 350 miles directly west of Brownsville Texas. According Professor Harry De La Pena, the Zone is one of the strangest, frightening, and eerie places. He is president of the Institute of Science and Technology in Laguna Mexico. The reports from the Zone: 1) Strange magnetic radiation that may affect life forms; 2) Purple cacti and trees seen nowhere else in the world; 3) Mutant albino insects growing to more than a foot in length; 4) Giant UFOs that buzz villages surrounding the Zone; 5) Strange earth platforms going up hundreds of feet from the desert; 6) Showers of meteorites raining daily. The ZONE OF SILENCE got its name by scientists who first discovered its strange magnetic properties. They found that radio waves couldn't enter or leave the area. It's like a terrestrail black hole. If in the Zone, there's no link to the outside world. You seem to be on your own. The late rocket scientist, Wernher von Braun, visited the Zone in 1970. There are 100's UFO reports from the Zone each year. The platforms weren't made by nature. They seem to have made by extraterrestrials for some sort UFO function. ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
