The Bermuda Triangle
 |
| This shows the area of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle |
The Bermuda Triangle (a.k.a. the Devil's Triangle) is a triangular area in the Atlantic Ocean bounded roughly at its points by Miami, Florida to Bermuda to San Juan, Puerto Rico and back to Florida.
Legend has it that many people, ships and planes have mysteriously vanished in this area.
How many have mysteriously disappeared depends on who is doing the locating and the counting.
Size of the mysterious Triangle
The size of the Bermuda Triangle varies from 500,000 square miles to three times the size depending on the imagination of the author (some also include the Azores, the Gulf of Mexico, and the West Indies in the "Triangle")
How many incidents have been estimated in the mysterious Triangle?
Some trace the mystery back to the time of Columbus.
Even so, estimates range from about 200 to no more than 1000 incidents in the past 500 years.
So, it has been claimed that in 1973, the U.S. Coast Guard answered more than 8000 distress calls in the area and that more than 50 ships and 20 planes have gone down in the Bermuda Triangle within the last century.
Some of the strange disappearance that happened in the mysterious Bermuda Triangle are-
There are numerous strange disappearance took place in the Bermuda Triangle but here are some of them:-
1. This disappearance took place in 1609 when the Sea Venture, a ship bringing English settlers to the colony of Virginia, was wrecked near the island of Bermuda.
The ship's longboat set sail to get help. It disappeared forever.
2. In 1750, five Spanish treasure ships were caught in the storm in the Bermuda Triangle.
Three of them disappeared without leaving any trace of wreckage.
3. Then the next big mystery, in 1840, involved a French ship called the Rosalie, which was found abandoned and drifting.
There was no sign of any struggle or battle.
The Rosalie's sails were perfectly set in position, and all the cargo was still on board when the ship was found.
The strange thing was that the entire crew was missing!
4. In 1945- that of Flight 19, the name given to five United States Navy training planes.
These planes had full supplies of fuel when they left their base in Florida.
After only an hour in the air, however, the control tower, with which they were in radio contact, received an unexpected message.
The flight leader reported that he knew the aircraft were off their course, but he was completely unaware of their location.
He said that the compasses, as well as all other instruments, were showing different readings, and that the pilots had no idea where they were.
Although the day was clear, but they weren't able to detect the position of the Sun.
They were unable to chart the course that would have led them to a safe landing.
Within another hour, all radio contact was broken between the control tower and the five planes.
An attempt was made to find the five missing planes, so a group of rescue aircraft was sent searching for them.
One of these, a twin-engined aeroplane, had a crew of thirteen men on the board. Again, the unexpected happened.
Instead of receiving news of a sighting and rescue, the control base lost all contact with this plane as well.
No reason has ever been given for the strange way in which those six planes got vanished.
5. In 1945, again one aircraft has been listed as missing in the Bermuda Triangle. In every case the reports state 'radio contact lost'.
6. In 1964, a pilot named Chuck Wakely described an unusual flight in the Bermuda Triangle.
The wings of his plane suddenly began to glow and all the instruments began to behave in an unusual way, failing to operate properly.
After about five minutes, during which time he could do nothing to control his aircraft, the glow disappeared and the instruments began to work again.
7. In 1966, the captain of a tugboat called the Good News reported an unusual experience in the area of the mysterious Triangle.
He started out with the weather both calm and clear. Everything was working smoothly.
Suddenly, a mysterious fog closed over the tug.
Captain Don Henry stated that all the electrical power suddenly failed.
He felt as if the whole boat were being pulled backward. He ordered full speed ahead anyway.
Shortly after the tug moved out of the fog, the electrical power returned.
The tug managed to reach port safely, although all the ship's battery had gone dead.
Even the flashlight batteries of some crew members had to be thrown away.
Theories of the Bermuda Triangle
There are numerous Bermuda Triangle theories that can explain these eerie happenings, here are some of the theories of Bermuda Triangle which are just as odd as the events themselves.
1. Chunk Of Iron In Underwater

This theory suggests that there is a large underwater chunk of iron in the Bermuda Triangle that acts as a magnet upon any metal instruments that may be near.
This would explain why compasses and sometime behave so peculiarly on ships and planes traveling in this Bermuda Triangle.
2. The Sargasso Sea
 |
| It is the Sargasso Sea which is truly mysterious |
Firstly, you must be wandering what's that yellowish substance over the Sargasso Sea- yes, that is Sargassum Grains; quite weird, right? And it has some life existing properties also.
Now it comes to the theory part, what exactly it has, for the reason of disappearance in the mysterious Bermuda Triangle?
This strange sea has no shore but bounded by ocean currents on all sides making ships go motionless.
3. No Force Of Gravity

This theory states that there may be certain locations on the planet where the force of gravity doesn't work.
This would definitely disturb the regular operation of planes and vessels.
4. Earth’s Magnetic Force
This theory says that the mysterious Bermuda Triangle may be a place where warm ocean currents and cold ocean currents meet and cause the tides to turn in different directions.
This, it is said, may cause the Earth’s magnetic force to behave in an unexpected way in the Bermuda Triangle.
5. Methane Gas Theory

| Methane gas is emerging from the ocean floor |
This theory suggests that a huge amount of methane is trapped beneath the ocean floor at Bermuda Triangle.
If this gas gets released, water density in that area can reduce and ships can no longer stay afloat on the frothy water.
6. Electronic Fog

This theory explains that sometimes ships get engulfed in an electronic fog, and, eventually, all their electronic equipments start to malfunction.
7. Aliens

This theory is the most weirdest of all but it is one which scientists believed the least.
This theory involves beings from another planet who are the Bermuda Triangle Aliens.
According to this explanations, visitors from outer space have made a landing on our Earth.
The mysterious Bermuda Triangle is a kind of a doorway through which they pull ships and aircrafts that they wish to study.
Such mysterious Bermuda Triangle's theories might be the solution for some of the incidents which are there in this article.
But many scientists have also said that there shouldn't be such theories because they think that those incidents might had happened due to natural processes.
Conclusion
This shows that the Bermuda Triangle Conspiracy had made a lose of thousands of airplanes and people and boats.
The mystery behind Bermuda Triangle is not yet finished, there are numerous mysteries situated with it.
