The Mexican city of Tampico, Tamaulipas is in the Southeastern region of Mexico overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. It was once known for regularly getting hit by hurricanes, but a hurricane hasn't made landfall since 1966.

Today, we'll discuss the UFO event that spawned the Amupac theory, eyewitness accounts from a man who claims to have visited the alien base, and what might really be diverting hurricanes away from the region.
