The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is
a loosely defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, where
a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious
circumstances. According to the US Navy, the triangle does not exist, and the
name is not recognized by the US Board on Geographic Names. Popular culture has
attributed various disappearances to the paranormal or activity by
extraterrestrial beings. Documented evidence indicates that a significant
percentage of the incidents were spurious, inaccurately reported, or embellished
by later authors. In a 2013 study, the World Wide Fund for Nature identified
the world’s 10 most dangerous waters for shipping, but the Bermuda Triangle was
not among them. So, what does make Bermuda Triangle so mysterious?
We have already heard about the strange events of Bermuda
Triangle. Triangle writers have used a number of supernatural concepts to
explain the events. One explanation pins the blame on leftover technology from
the mythical lost continent of Atlantis. Sometimes connected to the Atlantis
story is the submerged rock formation known as the Bimini Road off the island
of Bimini in the Bahamas, which is in the Triangle by some definitions.
Followers of the purported psychic Edgar Cayce take his prediction that
evidence of Atlantis would be found in 1968 as referring to the discovery of
the Bimini Road. Believers describe the formation as a road, wall, or other
structure, though geologists consider it to be of natural origin.
Other writers attribute the events to UFOs. This idea was
used by Steven Spielberg for his science fiction film Close Encounters of the
Third Kind, which features the lost Flight 19 aircrews as alien abductees. Charles
Berlitz, author of various books on anomalous phenomena, lists several theories
attributing the losses in the Triangle to anomalous or unexplained forces. But
to base on the others sources said that the natural explanations of Bermuda
Triangle are Compass variations, Gulf Stream, human error, violent weather, and
Methane hydrates. These theories are logical.
There are some notable incidents about Bermuda Triangle,
they are Ellen Austin, Flight 19, USS Cyclops, Carroll A. Deering, Star Tiger
and Star Ariel, Douglas DC-3, KC-135 Stratotankers, Connemara IV.
