What is Bermuda Triangle Stories?

Neither does the U.S. Coast Guard, which says: “In a review of many aircraft and vessel losses in the area over the years

there has been nothing discovered that would indicate that casualties were the result of anything other than physical causes. No extraordinary factors have ever been identified.”

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.

BRITISH scientists believe 30m “rogue” waves could be the reason why so many boats have been sunk in the mysterious Bermuda Triangle.

Some people claim they’ve experienced electronic fog in the Triangle, claiming the fog is actually a portal for traveling through time. The main supporter of the claim is pilot Bruce Gernon, the only person in the world who has witnessed the fog. There have been others who have seen parts of the phenomenon, but Gernon claims he lost 28 minutes flying through the electronic fog. The plane was gone from the radar, but then showed up in Miami.

The infamous body of water in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean stretches over an area of approximately 700,000 square kilometres between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico.

Some people think the Bermuda triangle is a small area, which cannot be further from the truth. In reality, the area covers 440,000 miles of sea, which is more than the combined area of Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, three very large provinces in India

Also known as the Devil’s Triangle, the area features multiple shipping lanes and has claimed more than 1000 lives over the past 100 years.

But experts at the University of Southampton, in the United Kingdom, believe the mystery can be explained by a natural phenomenon known as “rogue waves”, The Sun reports.

There are three main conspiracy theories that have been popular answers to the question “why ships, boats and planes disappear”. Alien activity, UFOs, and the lost city of Atlantis all make the headlines. There have also been technical, geographical and natural reasons used to explain the disappearances, but people like the aliens

Appearing on documentary The Bermuda Triangle Enigma, the scientists used indoor simulators to re-create the monster water surges.

No remains of a ship, plane or boat have been found in the triangle. When ships disappear, their remains are nowhere to be found. Some claim this only adds to the mystery, while geologists explain that the Gulf is too fast and cleans the remains.

Inside the triangle, the government of the United States has installed AUTEC, short from Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center. It is where the US navy tests their submarines, sonar weapons and other weapons. However, many believe that the Center located on the island Andros on the Bahamas is more than just a research facility.

Christopher Colombo wrote about the Bermuda triangle in his journal. He wrote that while he was in the triangle, his compass stopped working and he saw fireball on the sky. Of course, Colombo had no idea he was inside the triangle, but he was writing for the exact same area.

One of the biggest and most tragic losses came in 1945, when five US navy bombers left for Fort Lauderdale in Florida. They were flying for the small island of Bimini. Fourteen people were part of the mission. Some 90 minutes in the mission, the pilots lost communication with the radio operators, as their compass stopped working. Three other planes went searching for the bombers, but they were also lost and never found.

Rogue waves — which only last for a few minutes — were first observed by satellites in 1997 off the coast of South Africa.

Bermuda Triangle is one of the rare places in the world where the compass does not show towards North. Geologists claim this is the main reason why so many ships, boats and planes lose their course in the triangle.

The research team built a model of the USS Cyclops, a huge vessel which went missing in the Bermuda Triangle in 1918, claiming 300 lives.

When people think about the Bermuda Triangle you may think that it is a small triangle that connects three small points but in reality, the actual Bermuda Triangle is a lot larger than people realize.

And because of its sheer size and flat base, it did not take long before the model ship was overcome with water during the simulation.

Dr Simon Boxall, an ocean and earth scientist, said the infamous area in the Atlantic could see three massive storms come together from different directions — creating the perfect conditions for a rogue wave.

“There are storms to the south and north, which come together,” Dr Boxall said.

The total size of the Bermuda Triangle can be anywhere from 440,000 to 1,510,000 square miles of ocean according to wonderopolis.org. The size of the Bermuda Triangle has been changing over the years so it is hard to pin down the exact size. The sheer size of the triangle adds to the difficulty of finding planes and ships that have crashed within the triangle's walls.
