What Archaeology Says
The Mapimí Silent Zone's reputation for blocking radio signals is largely anecdotal and has not been replicated under controlled conditions. The high meteorite concentration is real and due to the flat desert terrain making meteorites easy to find and preserve. A 1970 US Air Force rocket that landed in the area required a recovery team, fueling local legends.
