Bizarre tale of city ‘protected by underwater ALIEN base just off coast of Mexico shielding them from hurricanes’
Share:
A CITY of 300,000 people believes it is protected by an underwater alien base just off the coast. Dubbed by locals as 'Amupac' - the legendary structure is believed to be the saviour and shield of the people in Tampico, Mexico. Alien believers claim the mythical base - which is said to sometimes spawn UFOs - has led to them avoiding trouble for 57 years.

According to locals, there hasn't been a hurricane in the region since 1967 - something they say is due to aliens living in Amupac. The wacky legend describes the underwater wonder as an “intraterrestrial” and “multidimensional” secret zone invisible to the human eye.

Self-proclaimed alien investigators in Mexico have drawn up a theory saying a group of 10ft, thin and light-skinned aliens have built up the base off Miramar Beach. They claim a series of metre-long aluminium, iron and copper alloy bars have been secretly buried in the seafloor when the beings first visited.

Juan Carlos Ramón López Díaz, president of the Association of Scientific Research on UFOs in Tamaulipas (AICOT), has been leading the legend for decades. He claims to have visited the alien base during an astral trip through mediation and believes it has been made in Tampico to protect the locals.

The idea of the alien base lurking beneath the water first came from local news outlet El Sol de Tampico newspaper in 1967. They ran a sensational story headlined "Platillos Voladores Sobre Tampico" - translated to English as "Flying Saucers Over Tampico".
