Why is Martian Day celebrated?
Martian Day in Ciudad Madero, Tamaulipas is celebrated as a peculiar tradition related to UFO sightings and the popular belief that extraterrestrial beings protect the region from hurricanes.
Local legend has it that a few miles off the coast of Ciudad Madero, there is an underwater alien base that emits energy to divert these natural phenomena.
This belief has been fueled by the lack of intense hurricanes in the area since the devastating Hurricane Hilda in 1955, which left a significant mark on the region.
