The Bermuda Triangle is a baffling mystery that leaves many questions unanswered. It has taken countless amounts of oblivious peoples’ lives away. For decades, the Atlantic Ocean’s remarkable Bermuda Triangle has seized the human mind with unsolved vanishings of ships, planes, and people. The unidentified area started in 1945, when a navy aircraft pilot took off from Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a training mission and was never seen again (Mayell 2003). This event also known as “Flight 19” arose lots of doubt about the Triangle, people started to narrate the story with their own words creating many questions about this enigma. There are many theories and hoaxes about the existence and capabilities of the Bermuda Triangle; some disagree with its reality entirely, others simply believe it is a natural incident of nature. The Scientist Einstein believed that the Bermuda Triangle …show more content…
No wreckage was recovered and was claimed to have disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle with Flight 19. furthermore, Other aircraft have disappeared in the Bermuda triangle including a DC-3 carrying 27 passengers in 1948 and a C-124 Globemaster with 53 passengers in 1951 (Gaddis 1965). additionally, many disappeared ships were recorded among them are the Mary Celeste (1872), the Marine tanker ship Sulphur Queen with 39 men aboard (1963), and the nuclear-powered submarine Scorpion with a crew of 99 in 1968 (Spencer 1973). The Mary Celeste set sail from New York to Italy and is said to pass through the Bermuda triangle. During the voyage, the ship was found sailing unmanned and shifted about 400 miles off course. A ragged sail and a missing lifeboat suggested the boat had come across a storm, but the boat did not reveal any kind of accident. However, there is no evidence that shows the Mary Celeste ever passed through the Bermuda
“‘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
What really happened over the summer in 1947 in Roswell, New Mexico? People have debated this topic countless times. Despite all of the deviations of what happened, there is a general timeline. Sometime during the months of June and July 1947, an aircraft landed in Mac Brazel’s ranch; Brazel proceeded to tell Sheriff George Wilcox. He sent a member of the Roswell Army Air Field base to look at the wreckage on Brazel’s ranch. This person took some of the debris back to the base for further inspection. On July 8, 1947, the newspapers published stories about how someone found a flying saucer in New Mexico. However, the government told the newspapers to report that it was merely a weather balloon that had crashed. After that, everybody simply accepted the story and dropped the topic. Throughout that story, many pieces of evidence went untold to the media. There were numerous pictures that went unreleased. Many affidavits went unnoticed and nobody paid attention to inconsistencies in the government’s justifications. Because of explicative photographs, several eyewitness accounts, and contradictory government explanations, there is extensive proof that the government concealed an alien landing in Roswell, New Mexico.
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.
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is the cause of many unexplained disappearances that happened within its boundary. One of the many mysteries of the triangle is Flight 19. Five Avenger planes vanished without even a single trace. What happened to Flight 19, did aliens actually abduct the planes? Or is there another explanation as to how they disappeared?
Ever look up at the sky and just wonder if there is life anywhere else? Have you seen anything in the sky that is almost unexplainable? What if your thoughts really came true? The thought of the existence of aliens seems to have been around since the beginning of time. There is one incident in particular that really hits home when talking about the subject, the UFO incident of Roswell, New Mexico.
There is camera proof of pictures of clouds and proof from the U.S. Coastguard of reasons for accidents in the area. The area is a dangerous part of the ocean for those reasons, but there is nothing mysterious about it. Also, there is no proof of the remains of people, planes, and ships because the Gulf Stream carries them elsewhere, but they have not disappeared, they have just been moved and altered. It is impossible for anything to stay in the exact spot it landed in the ocean because of the constant movement in the water. There is no evidence of the remains of people, but there are several contributing factors to why people have crashed such as: the underwater topography, the current of the Gulf Stream, and methane gas hydrates. There are very deep trenches in that area and it is unlikely that ships there will be found. The current in that area is also extremely strong and can misplace evidence of ships
One year later the sister aircraft of the ‘Star Tiger’, the ‘Star Ariel’ also mysteriously disappeared. The aircraft ‘Star Ariel’ was leaving from the Bermuda and headed to Kingston. Fifteen minutes before the ‘Star Ariel’s’ arrival time and not one radio signal was sent. Kingston then called the Bermuda to let them know they have received no radio contact between Kingston and the aircraft ‘Star Ariel’. There was another disappearance of another aircraft; so on December 28, a Coast Guard ordered a search place to look. They could not find the missing aircraft and then decided that the plane must have radioed the wrong coordinate information.
In the scholarly journal, “The Bermuda Triangle Mysteries: An Explanation Based on the Diffraction of Heat Waves (2000)”, physicist Ernest C. Njau claims that the mysteries noted in the Bermuda region may be accounted by the Eastward-moving heat waves along the Earth’s surface as they cause changes in the weather and ocean patterns that could play a big role in the disappearances over the Bermuda Triangle. Njau provides the readers with another credible possibility that could be responsible for the disappearances and mysterious lost ships and planes in the Bermuda region in order to prove that paranormal phenomena may not be the cause behind these sudden disappearances. The research cited explains that the Eastward-moving heat waves along the Earth’s surface “to a large extent, account for the mysteries already noted in the Bermuda region” (Njau). In the academic journal, “Hydrates Represent Gas Source, Drilling Hazard”, senior researcher in geology and associate professor Elchin Bagirov and senior geophysicist Ian Lerche, purport that the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle can actually be explained by the phenomenon of hydrate crystals ruling out paranormal phenomenon. Bagirov and Lerche cite a variety of diagrams that they claim show the special properties of hydrate crystals and their effects to indicate their relationship with the mysterious disappearances of ships and aircraft in the Bermuda Triangle. The authors provide a scientific and rational explanation for the numerous mysteries of missing ships and aircraft in the Bermuda Triangle in order to persuade the readers that the mysteries surrounding the Bermuda Triangle can be explained by actual scientific

Finally, in 1997, the US military admitted to lying about the object being a weather balloon. Instead they claim that the wreckage was part of a “top-secret experiment”(Mitton 11) involving some sort of balloon. Steve MacKenzie’s response, “if the object he tracked had been a weather balloon, secret or not, his superiors would have ordered him to ignore it.”(Dudley 35)
There have been similar stories of people crossing the Bermuda Triangle and went missing without a trace. However, those who don’t believe in supernatural events may say it’s a coincidence that there are more cases of missing ships, airplanes and people occur in this area. Still, there is the other side of the public that agree on the bizarre and supernatural that occurred in the region. Not only that, “People have even gone so far as to speculate that it’s an area of extra-terrestrial activity or that there is some bizarre natural scientific cause for the region to be hazardous; but most likely, it’s simply an area in which people have experienced a lot of bad luck” (Upton). The Bermuda Triangle is such an interesting mystery of sudden disappearance of ships and planes that people are willing to find what the cause of it.
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as The Devil Triangle, is the most known mystery in the world. It 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. According to CAUPP approximately 2000 ships and planes, and their crews, had been disappearing since 1942, without a trace. These are only the ones reported. Some people believe aliens are behind this, others believe some crystals from the long lost city of Atlantis, “this inexplicable phenomenon has provided an ample battlefield for a fierce controversy that has raged since the early 1960’s.”
Mysterious lights, unusual fog and mist, malfunctioning electrical equipment, and the disappearance of ships and planes are only some of the phenomena that has occurred in the western Atlantic Ocean. It was not until the 1960’s when a journalist started to look into the numerous unexplained happenings in this area which received the name the Bermuda Triangle (Duffield). No one knows why this phenomenon happens, but there are theories out there that just might explain what goes on in the Bermuda Triangle.
In conclusion the bermuda triangle is an imaginary triangle with a deadly reputation. No explanation has been proven correct and the mystery is still to be solved. After countless events of paranomal activity being reported, it is difficult to believe that the triangle is a safe place with nothing peculiar about it, even though most researchers believe differently. The sense of mystery, publicized occurances of paranormal activity, and attention from scientists and researchers has continued to fuel interest on the matter.
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.
