Investigative Journalist Cuauhtémoc Morgan Releases Tenth Book on Isla Guadalupe’s Hidden History

Los Cabos–based reporter examines declassified military records, unexplained phenomena, and the end of decades of official silence in the Mexican Pacific

Cuauhtémoc Morgan, a widely recognized investigative journalist based in Los Cabos, has released his tenth book, Los Misterios de Isla Guadalupe, a work that delves into one of Mexico’s most remote and strategically sensitive territories and its long-concealed role in global military and intelligence history.

Located more than 160 miles off the coast of Baja California, Isla Guadalupe has long been known as a volcanic outpost and protected biosphere reserve. Morgan’s new book argues that the island has also served as a focal point for advanced military operations and recurring encounters with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP)—a reality that, until recently, remained buried in classified files.

Declassified Records and Institutional Evidence

Rather than relying on speculation, Morgan’s investigation is grounded in official declassified documents and government reports, many of which are presented in an organized, chronological manner for the first time. The book traces a consistent pattern of unexplained activity in the region, supported by radar logs, sensor data, and internal military communications spanning several decades.

This documentation, Morgan argues, places Isla Guadalupe at the center of a sustained institutional awareness of anomalous events in the Mexican Pacific—an awareness that was deliberately withheld from public discussion.

The Tic Tac Encounter and a Restricted Military Corridor

A central chapter focuses on the 2004 “Tic Tac” incident, which occurred north of the island within the heavily restricted Whiskey 291 (W-291) military training corridor. According to the book, U.S. Navy pilots—including Commander David Fravor—encountered objects capable of instantaneous acceleration, aerial maneuvers without wings or visible propulsion, and movement patterns beyond known aerospace technology.

These encounters, once dismissed or classified, are now corroborated by sworn testimony before the United States Congress, as well as by technical data captured by infrared sensors and radar systems.

A “New Area 51” in the Pacific

Morgan characterizes the waters between Ensenada and Isla Guadalupe as a “New Area 51 of the Pacific,” where high-level naval exercises by U.S. and Mexican forces overlap with persistent anomalous sightings. The book includes accounts from radar operators, technicians, and military personnel who describe years of enforced silence surrounding these events.

The closure of Isla Guadalupe to tourism in 2023 is examined not only as an environmental protection measure, but also as a strategic decision that effectively shields an increasingly sensitive zone from civilian access.

Entering the Age of Disclosure

Drawing on insights from former intelligence officials such as Luis Elizondo, the book contends that the world has entered an “Age of Disclosure,” in which long-denied realities are gradually being acknowledged by governments. In this context, Isla Guadalupe emerges as more than a remote island—it becomes a case study in sovereignty, security, and the limits of current human technology.

In Morgan’s words, Isla Guadalupe functions as “a lighthouse at the edge of the world”—once believed to merely warn ships of danger, now revealing a beam of light that points toward secrets humanity is only beginning to understand.
