The Bermuda Triangle is formed by three land points in the Atlantic Ocean where there is an abundant amount of mystery shipwrecks, crashed planes, and missing people.
No one is quite sure to why aircraft and people go missing in this area. So first, where is the mysterious Bermuda Triangle exactly at? This is believed to be the area between Miami, Florida, Bermuda Island, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. For many years, the Atlantic Ocean has captured the minds of many humans with the Bermuda Triangle disappearances that has been occurring for decad. So why do all of these ships and planes seem to go missing in the area? Well I don’t believe in the Bermuda Triangle. I don’t think that there is a big mystery about the disappearing boats going across the Bermuda. Even though I don’t know what it is, I can tell you what its not. Many authors think they know exactly what has been happening here. They suggested that it may be the strange magnetic force that affects any electrical machines, such as compass readings, that are heavily needed for traveling overseas. Other people theorize that methane eruptions from the ocean floor that suddenly turns the sea into a pool of froth that can't support a ship's weight, so therefore it sinks. Even though there is no actual evidence of this type of thing happening in the Triangle for years, it is a well known theory. Several books have gone as far as hypothesizing that the disappearances have to do to an intelligent, technologically advanced race living in space or under the sea, (aliens). Some think that the influence of the lost continent of Atlantis cause the disappearances, and others seem to believe that there are vortices directly centered in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle that ...

...her set of sips either disappeared or sank, with another found without its crew on it. However most of the accidents were reported incorrect. Another well-known accident was a British plane, that was carrying eleven people vanished in the Andes after leaving Buenos Aires in Argentina for Chile. The name of the plane was Stardust, which wasn't discovered for another fifty years. There are theories that claim that the flight had been abducted by aliens. But in reality there was a reading in Morse code found on the plane reading “STENDEC”. It was immediately taken to evidence to back up the alien theory a of the plane. They later found the plane buried in an ice glacier in 2000. The mystery of the morse code was never really solved, but on conspiracy is that the radio operator could have scrambled the words “DESCENT” as a result of the plane going down.
“‘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
The sky remained vacant the morning Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, were supposed to touch base on Howland Island, for the last leg of their trip around the world. Leo Bellarts, the Chief radioman on the coast guard ship, was desperately sending radio signals, trying to reach the lost pilot in the air. On July second, 1937, Earhart and her plane, went down in the Pacific Ocean, and have not been found since then. Seventy-seven years after her disappearance, people are still searching for answers about the mysterious event in the Pacific.
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?
...l breakthroughs are close to confirming that the plane crashed near or even on Gardner Island, where the two eventually probably died. Many artifacts have been discovered but there is still debate and archaeologists are still searching the island at the time of this writing.
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.
The Bermuda Triangle is a mysterious section of the Atlantic Ocean covering a huge area from the point of Miami, to Bermuda and Puerto Rico where numerous numbers of ships and airplanes have vanished either for good or found near by as rubble. Although a plethora of theories have come about regarding this vast areas, none of them come to show that these often disappearances occur more frequently in the triangle than in other often experienced sections of the ocean. In fact, people navigate the area every day without incident. If this is the case, then why is it that so many disappearances do happen in this area? Most of these occurrences occur to people traveling through the Bermuda Triangle either via vessel or plane. With this question
“In total, six airplanes and 27 men appear to have vanished” (How). On December 5th of 1945, five U.S. Navy bombers went missing without a trace of why. Later a rescue plane was sent to search for the plane and the survivors, but those planes disappeared as well. That incident is one of the most famous and well known disappearances in the area (How). The Bermuda triangle is an area in the Atlantic Ocean which many people believe mysterious disappearances have taken place. It reaches Puerto Rico, Florida, and Bermuda in a triangle shape that covers approximately 500,000 square miles (History). The mysterious disappearances in the Bermuda triangle are myths as evidenced by people who travel the area safely every day, there is no scientific proof of the mysteries, and there are scientific reasons why people have disappeared.
This suggests that when humans who are traveling through the Bermuda Triangle make a wrong decision as far as direction, speed, altitude, etc. goes, it can often cost them their life. The same goes for many other things such as driving, you can’t remove human error from normal, often dangerous tasks, and that is when you get problems such as the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. Another contributor to human error that Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki noted was, “It is close to the equator, near a wealthy part of the world, America, therefore you have a lot of traffic, and a lot of room for error.” (Macdonald 2017) What he meant by this was that when you put a high concentration of traffic in a relatively small area, you have the possibility for collisions and overcorrections due to human error. After all, human
In the 1937 newspaper, article “Amelia’s Voice Heard by Amateur Radio Operator”, The Atchison Daily Globe reports on two Los Angeles amateur radio operators who claimed they heard Earhart transmit a distress signal at 7:00 a.m. Pacific time. The article expresses doubt about these clams using the statement “[In] San Francisco, however, a coastguard station reported at noon Eastern Standard Time it had received no word whatever although radio reception was unusually good” . The article also presents evidence supporting the two Radio operators, by explaining the amateur radio operators, “interpreted radio signals as placing the plane adrift near the equator between Gilbert Islands and Howland Island” . The article also, reports, because of this possible transmission from Earhart caused action, “the navy department ordered the battleship Colorado with three planes aboard, to begin a search from Honolulu, where it arrived yesterday ”.

The three main theories provided to analyze the mysterious disappearance of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan are the “Crash and Sank” theory, changing the name and living a new life theory, and the Gardner Island theory. The most plausible explanation supported by multiple evidences is that Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan arrived safely at Gardner Island but later died of thirst and hunger. However, no theory is convincing enough to answer the question: What really happened to Amelia
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)
The paranormal activity and substantial amount of ships and planes missing reported suggests that the triangle would be a deadly place for ships to travel across. However, the area is passed through daily by multiple cruise ships along with planes as well. The “World Wide Fund For Nature” created a list of the 10 most deadly waters for shipping, but the bermuda triangle was not included. Research has hinted towards reports of several incidents being exaterated or imbellished. Despite the evidence, the majority of people still believe the triangle is not deadly, and in fact, is completely safe to ship through, or fly over. On the contrary, over the past 5 centuries, more than 1000 ships and planes have dissapeared unaccounted for in the triangle(http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq8-1.htm). Therefore, the aura of mystery surrounding the triangle is alive and well.

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.
