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. .
The Bermuda Triangle is a mythical section of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico where dozens of ships and airplanes have disappeared. Unexplained circumstances surround some of these accidents, including one in which the pilots of a squadron of U.S. Navy bombers became disoriented while flying over the area; the planes were never found. Other boats and planes have seemingly vanished from the area in good weather without even radioing distress messages. But although myriad fanciful theories have been proposed regarding the Bermuda Triangle, none of them prove that mysterious disappearances occur more frequently there than in other well-travelled sections of the ocean. In fact, people navigate the area every day without incident.


Missing.MH370: Missing Malaysia Airlines flight also cannot be found, though not the same
area.

Aliens ???

 

Aliens, why yes indeed.

 

Bermuda Triangle Theories

.
The Sargasso Sea
Sargasso sea is a strange area within Bermuda Triangle that has no shores but bounded by ocean currents on all sides. This has been the trap for many sailing vessels in the past. Many sailing boats and ships are believed to have become completely motionless while passing through this area and later found in derelict conditions without a soul on them. Dense seaweed on water surface and exceptionally low winds have been the main cause of making vessels motionless in this area. Check out Sargasso Sea for more information about the incidents and their causes.
.
Gulf Stream
The Gulf Stream is an ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico, and then moves through the Straits of Florida, into the North Atlantic and passes through Bermuda Triangle area. It is like a river within an ocean and can easily carry floating objects along its flow. A small plane making a water landing or a boat having engine trouble will be easily carried away. It happened to the cabin cruiser Witchcraft on December 22, 1967, when it reported engine trouble near the Miami buoy marker one mile from shore, but was not there when a Coast Guard cutter arrived.
Electronic Fog: A Hutchison effect
It has been heard several times that ships and aircraft get engulfed in some kind of electronic fog and the fog keeps moving along with the ship or the plane. And eventually, all the electronic equipment and other instruments start malfunctioning. Then the ships and airplanes either disintegrate or disappear without a trace. Vancouver based scientist John Hutchison through his experiments has shown occurrence of Electronic Fog that causes some strange phenomena.
Compass Variation
Do you know that magnetic and absolute North are not the same. Which means that the north where a compass points and the absolute geographic north which is the north pole are different. So ships need to make adjustment for this difference to keep to the right direction. But in Bermuda Triangle, there is a narrow strip where both these North's become the same. Some claim that such Compass Variation could have been the cause for fatal accidents as ships failed to determine the correct direction.
Strange Weather & Hurricanes
At times there are violent storms in the Bermuda Triangle area. These short but intense storms can build up quickly and go away so fast that even a satellite can't detect them properly. But these storms are strong enough to destroy ships or planes completely. There are also waterspouts seen in this area. A waterspout is like a tornado at sea that sucks water from the ocean thousands of feet into the sky.



Supernatural Theories
There are also explanations based on some supernatural theories like the lost city of Atlantis, UFOs and Aliens. Check out Supernatural Theories to know about such explanations that try to explain the disappearances.
Skeptic's Theory
And like in any other subject, there are skeptics and critics here who do not believe that Bermuda Triangle area has any mystery to be solved at all. They say there is nothing unusual about all these disappearances... it's nothing different from any other ocean area where such incidents also take place in similar numbers, and most can be explained with science or some logic. Check out the Skeptics Theory to find out what the skeptics of Bermuda Triangle have to say.

And, there are many more explanations...
Strange magnetic fields from the bottom of the ocean causing compass to malfunction, pirates capturing ships, explosive cargo destroying vessels etc are also believed to be other causes. Another possibility is underwater earthquakes. Scientists have actually observed a great deal of seismic vibrations taking place in the Bermuda triangle area and under the seafloor.

Watched a doc on Bermuda triangle few days ago, seamed there are lots of lightning strikes in the area. What if massive lightning that strikes the sea/gulf stream brought massive amount of electrons that could not dissipate immediately. You have the gulf stream moving at 5 knots northwards, slow, but as a whole the pool of water could still constitute a massive charge. Can we apply the Right Hand Rule, i.e. a magnetic field generated? If so, the magnetic field and force could possibly be strong enough to wrack havoc.

Ok I have a theory. It's a little out there but here me out. Ok our government is very secretive and look at all of the things that have disappeared, almost 80 percent of them were either military ships or military aircraft. most people overlook that fact or say that it is coincidence but I think differently. Look at all of the things that our government hides from us, like for instance Area 51. There are many theories about it but no civilian has ever entered the facility. I believe that the government knows more about the Bermuda triangle than they tell us. It could be many things. It could be a worm hole or a portal. It could be a place where an alien race has settled or it could be a secret military base under or above water that contains things that could either cause panic or chaos in everyday life. The fact that all devices go crazy could be something as simple as a magnetic cloaking device to help conceal whatever is hidden. Call me crazy but think about it. The government gets away with anything even killing people. What makes you think they won't kill to protect something that secretive and important to them. What if they have made contact with another race?
What if they found some type of ancient portal. They have found pieces of the ancient city of Atlantis near the Bermuda triangle. I think the theories of the Sargasso sea and the electronic fog and the methane pockets are all cover ups framed by the government. I know this all sounds pretty off the wall but it's just a thought from myself after years of research. The only way to truly find out is a very simple answer involving a little hi tech technology. Build a vessel such as a boat with cameras, microphones and recording devices and send the ship into the triangle while anchoring it to a secondary vessel strong enough to pull the venturing vessel back to its original starting location. It may not work but it's worth a shot. Now if an average C student can come up with ideas like this how come our government and the scientist who work for our government haven't tried this or thought of it? That is something for you to think about. Well that's about all I have for now, if I get any other ideas, facts or thoughts on the great mystery of The Bermuda Triangle, I will be sure to post but until then thank you for your time and thank you for reading my article.

 

Here's a better theory:


Its all bollox exaggerated by lazy book and headline writers.

 

Here's a better story...

 

This one is a bit of an interesting one but thing is it's not an issue any more with technology is it, nothing does missing there any more?

 

The only mystery is how the ****ing hell a vast section of ocean that's right next to a large population centre is somehow considered to be special.

I mean seriously.

 

There are reasons for it though MITO. Planes and ships went missing without any debris being found, if I remember correctly that is, all this was back in my childhood days though, a time when you belieive anything

Our search and rescue back the would not have been great I suppose.

It is possible but a longshot that there might have been some weird as phenomenom at that time, though it is convenient that as soon as the tech is available **** stops disappearing

I think this belongs in the "x-files"

 

One theory I vaguely remember from ships going missing was gas eruptions from the ocean floor which rose up and reduced the density of water which would cause a ship to just drop down beneat the surface. Dunno how that would explain planes though.

 

It's massive area the entire Bahamas and florida define it.

Given the area has many many tropical storms etc it's a totally unreasonable thought.

I reckon most who hear Bermuda triangle think oh it's probably a really small section of sea. 50 mils or whatever and 100 of things vanished.

In fact it's 1000s of square miles of ocean and the most famous was 5 us airplanes that flew off in the wrong direction never to be seen again.


.....

You know it's the same as the guff on discovery chanel that explains any and all human achievement as the product of ancientvaliens .

You get these archeologists who realise they can scrape dirt for 3 years to find a pot and maybe a peer applauds them or they can go and make easy money peddling snake oil on TV using the history they learned and all a wild theory to it.

 

Doesn't cos not many vanished.

Tropical storms can explain 99% of anything.

People who fly will tell you about the reliability and otherwise of compasses.

 

There's no mystery, it was solved years ago...

#mmmmmcatchy

 

Yeah I agree mate, like I said, when our tech evolved to solve this mystery **** stopped disappearing. Very convenient

 

That's where the ships and planes went, into Barry's nose, you genius

 

The jurassic park islands of Isla Nublar and Isla Sornar are also both located in the bermuda triangle... #oooooooohspooky

"Lost city of Atlantis" and "time warps"

How can a lost city of Atlantis and time warp, or bad weather or methane deposits or gravity be a conspiracy theory



They are hardly conspiracy theories, that term is used now to label any disagreement with any mainstream ideas

The author of that is illiterate

 

they have a similar area in the china seas called the dragons triangle.

cant remember specifically, but its to do with under water magnetism etc i think why boats sink, something to do with monster waves (which is a rarity but not impossible, they have recreated these waves in a controlled environment) )which can swallow/sink big ships, also planes there is something about the area that ****s about with instruments, but a lot of inexperienced pilots who fly the area panic and don't know where they are and just fly and fly until out of fuel and crash into the sea, what happened with the 5 planes, they thought they was over the florida keys when they was in a different area and going a completely different direction and just kept heading out to sea until they ran out of fuel.

why we have weird phenomenons like northern lights etc, this is no different just this has taken a lot of lives why more of an issue made out of it.

what i want to know is where are the crew of the mary rose lol.

 

nothing to do with the fact the china sea is also full of typhoons either.

no?

I agree the 5 us planes had a flight leader who lead the other 4 off in the wrong direction to die. nobody wants to admit that.
