One event can change the whole world’s perception. One day, approximately 58 years ago at 2:10 pm, December 5, 1945 (Bryner), five Navy planes, known as Flight 19, took off from their base in Florida, and neither the planes nor the crew were ever found (National Geographic). Thus, a legend was born. Being one of the most strangest and dangerous place on earth, Bermuda Triangle has achieved its nickname as the “Devil’s Triangle” and “Limbo of the Lost” (Bryner). Many planes and ships from around the world have travelled through the Bermuda Triangle and vanished without a trace, never ever to be seen again. For many years, this has been an issue for scientists and experts from all over the world to research out the real reason behind this unfathomable mystery. Researches about its geographic location, theories made up by scientists and experts, and evidences of losses have made up to what we know today: The Bermuda Triangle Enigma.
Bermuda Triangle is an imaginary area located in the Atlantic coast of the United States. This area has often been recorded for its high percentage of unexplained disappearances and losses of ships and aircrafts. The Bermuda Triangle is surrounded by these following countries: Miami, Florida, San Juan, and Puerto Rico (Naval History & Heritage Command). Since long time ago, this area had already been noted for its unusual features. Christopher Columbus wrote about the bizarre compass bearings in that area. It’s one of the only two places on Earth— the other one being the east coast of Japan, where it points to true north. Normally, it points to magnetic north (Radford). If the errors or compass variation, which is the difference between the true north and magnetic north, are not solved, it may cause fa...

“‘The ‘Bermuda Triangle’, or ‘Devil’s Triangle’, is a mythical geographic area’, states a fact sheet issued by the U.S. Coast Guard” (Gaffron 17). One of the most influential groups in the United States believes that the Bermuda Triangle is only a myth. “Most rational explanations for the incidents in the Bermuda Triangle, including the explanations given by the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard, include human error and environmental effects” (Obringer). The U.S. Navy has lost quite a few ships in the Bermuda Triangle region and believe that the reason behind those disappearances involved either human or technical difficulties. “Plane ditchings or explosions in flight may result from many causes; lack of visible evidence being explained by the truism that ‘It’s a big ocean’” (Berlitz 6) The reports from the people that actually lost lives believe in that something bad but normal happened which is a sound explanation for the
This paper will prove it will remain unknown if the Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) crash sighting at Roswell, New Mexico on July 4th, 1947 did happen, although the government is hiding Extraterrestrial information there. The following is a list of terms that may become confusing to some readers.
Seismic studies show that the mid-oceanic ridges experience an elevated number of earthquakes. All these observations indicate intense geological activity at the mid-oceanic ridges. Periodically, the Earth's magnetic field reverses. New rock formed from magma records the orientation of Earth's magnetic field at the time the magma cools. Study of the sea floor with magnetometers revealed "stripes" of alternating magnetisation parallel to the mid-oceanic ridges.
Leading up to the hurricane, many scientists expected the storm to dissipate over the ocean and cause little to no harm (Rappaport). The scientists were relying on faulty equipment that said that due to slow air speed and l...

The Bermuda Triangle (the Devil’s Triangle), is a stretch of the Atlantic Ocean bordered by a line from Florida, to the islands of Bermuda, to Puerto Rico and then back to Florida. It is well known for all the mysterious things that happen within it. It got its name from a news article written by VIncent H. Gaddis in 1964. He claimed that in that part of the Atlantic ocean, a large amount of ships and planes have went missing without any explanation. He wasn’t the first to claim something about that area, but he gave it the name. The first major story about the Bermuda Triangle was when the USS Cyclops went missing in 1911. It is the most famous ship lost in the Bermuda Triangle. It served has a collier for the U.S Navy during World War 1. It was on its way from Bahia, Salvador to Baltimore, Maryland. The ship never made it to Baltimore. The ship could have sunk anywhere between Baltimore and Bahia. It is not proven to have sunk in the Bermuda Triangle, but that was the area they had said it sunk in.
This is an area where countless amounts of ships and or planes are said to have vanished due to odd conditions that nobody can confirm. In fact, over 1000 lives have been lost, 50 ships, and 100 airplanes have vanished here within just the last 100 years.There is large amounts of theories and reasons people have come up with to describe this phenomenon but the three most plausible ones are Methane gases being released into the water, lowering the buoyancy, electromagnetic fields messing with any electrical equipment and compases, or causing ‘time travel’, as well as natural causes such as weather. The area within the Triangle is one of the most often traveled shipping lanes and flight patterns in the world. I don’t personally believe there is any singular answer to what actual happens within the Bermuda region, but I do believe that it is a joint operation of many different factors depending on the situation at hand. As long as those theories exist, the Bermuda Triangle will remain a source of fascination and mystery until science proves
This event proved to, the most famous US Navy losses which have occurred at the area famously known as the Bermuda Triangle are USS Cyclops in March. The ship probably sank in an unexpected storm, and traces of them have never been found. This event indicates that there is another nature that is unknown to the human world of the jinn. In addition, this event can be proved from the Holy Quran that Allah said:

Some time in July of 1947, a mysterious flying object zigzagged across the skies of New Mexico. Within twenty-four hours the object disappeared from radar just as mysteriously as it had appeared. It was last seen in a small town in the middle of the Arizona desert, it’s name, Roswell.

...compasses to go haywire. Even less logical explanations such as alien attacks or particles from the city of atlantis affecting the magnetic field, exist, and are believed by some people. Other theories such as pirates, time vortexes, and methane hydrates are also thought to be a cause(http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/bermuda-triangle8.htm).

The Bermuda Triangle is a whirlpool of mysterious occurrences where things have magically disappeared without any remains and no matter how many theories scientists come up with to solve the mysteries of this enchanted island, none come close to having answers for any incident that occurred on this island. On November 3, 1945, the Bermuda triangle first grasped the attention of many people with one mysterious event. Flight 19, an aircraft which was out on a 3 hour training session, fully fueled and equipped with five highly experienced aviators, went missing and was never to be heard of again (McDonell of 9). The three hour training session started in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and was due 150 miles east, 40 miles north and then was told to return to the base; unfortunately that did not happen (McDonell 1 of 9). During the training session, the aviators both back up compass and compass malfunctioning, making their locations a mystery to them and lost to the world for two hours.
