They ventured into the zone for picking up sand samples and any unusual rocks that they could find. Josefina and Ernesto Diaz were in the desert area to collect fossils for further study. In October 1975, a couple narrated an encounter with two unidentified men. Moreover, shortly afterwards, people started reporting strange sightings of UFOs in the Mapimi Silent Zone. The US Air Force also carried back truckloads of the sand for research work.///// There was also a shifting area that prevented the flow of any form of a signal be it radio, television, shortwave, microwave or satellite signals. No form of communication could be established within that zone.ДЇurther research led to the knowledge that the zone had a very powerful magnetic field, almost as strong as the North Pole. It is then that the scientists confirmed that a certain section of the desert was a dead zone. The US Air Force obtained permission from the Mexican government for clearing the debris and investigating the cause of the crash. The crash, not intended, was attributed to the malfunctioning of the rocket. The RTV overshot its destination by 500 miles and crashed in the Zone of Silence. The rocket was launched from the Green River Complex in Utah and was supposed to drop in the White Sands desert in New Mexico. On July 11 in 1970, the US Air Force and Army were conducting joint testing of a re-entry test vehicle (RTV) Athena in New Mexico. Apparently, Mapimi Silent Zone is known for meteorite showers. On February 8 in 1969 at 1.05 am, the largest meteorite to have ever struck the Earth, Allende crashed to the ground here at a speed of 10 miles per second. This gave rise to the speculation that the zone is not a particular area in the desert but one that shifts unpredictably.

However, when he went back to confirm the radio silence, he discovered that it occurred in another patch of the desert. On asking around, they found out from the nearest town Ceballos that television signals too could not penetrate the zone. The team also noticed that their radios were only emitting white noise. Harry de La PeГ±a, a Mexican engineer, was conducting the survey with his team when he discovered that they could not communicate with each other over walkie-talkies in a certain part of the desert. Pemex was exploring the desert area to run an oil pipeline to go up to Chihuahua (City in Mexico). In 1964, an engineer with a Mexican petroleum company Pemex experienced radio silence in multiple patches of the desert. This bizarre incident spooked him enough to never fly over the zone again. However, Francisco seemed to have entered a vacuum, coming out of which he was forced to crash land. At the base, all they could hear was white noise, which indicates a plane crash. His compass went haywire, unable to point north, and his systems became unresponsive. Apparently, as he flew his plane over this sector, he lost all communication with the base. In the 1930s, a famous record-breaking Mexican pilot, Francisco Sarabia Tinoco, was performing test flights in the Mapimi Silent Zone. The area has 31 species of plants and nearly 75 species of protected animals. In the meantime, the service posts about incidents to social media вЂњregularlyвЂќ but вЂњwonвЂ™t be doing a constant stream of highlights.The Mapimi Biosphere Reserve meanwhile, has undertaken the research of the strange mutations of plant and animal species found in the area, the purple cactus and theВ Mapimi tortoise which has been declared a vulnerable species, being the most famous ones. Mokrzan said EPS may explore other options for sharing information in the future. This is not available to the general public.вЂќ

вЂњPresently, CPS has granted the Calgary media outlets, as well as some partner agencies, the ability to tune into district dispatch radio channels. AFRRCS is our back-up in the event CMRN is not available,вЂќ said spokeswoman Nafeesa Garner. вЂњAt this time, we do not have plans to switch to AFRRCS.

The Calgary Police Service, meanwhile, currently uses the Calgary Mobile Radio Network (CMRN) but also has access to AFRRCS. However, later in the year, the police service launched a secure online portal media can access that provides information automatically generated from dispatch call entries. In 2019, Saskatoon police moved to an encrypted radio, discontinuing media access.
