Recommended: Strange encounters in the bermuda triangle

You might know that the Bermuda Triangle is a legendary place where numerous disappearances have occurred, but how much do you really know about it? Some people don’t believe in such a place, but some do. Research has been conducted to try and figure out what could possibly be happening here, but with no hard evidence. The mysterious Bermuda Triangle may be more than just a myth though; the Bermuda triangle has a long history with disappearances, few people live through it to tell the tale, and possible theories have been made over the years; leaving scientists questioning this strange phenomenon.
The history of this legend dates way back. One of the more widely known events that had occurred earlier on was when Christopher Columbus was traveling. Christopher Columbus had reported seeing a flame crashing into the sea and a strange light appearing in the distance a few weeks later. Some people come back to tell the story, but seldom are they believed. Most people know the Bermuda Triangle as a place of disappearances, though. Of all of the disappearances, a real eye-opener for most was Flight 19. On December, 05, 1945, taking off from Ft. Lauderdale Naval Air Station, Navy Avenger torpedo-bombers started their training mission. A couple hours after the mission started, they reported having issues with both of their compasses, and… they were lost. A Mariner Aircraft of 13 men were sent to search for them, but only after a few minutes, they lost contact with all radio stations. With most people worried by now, one of the largest search parties was formed. Hundreds of aircrafts and ships were sent out, only to find nothing. No bodies, no airplane parts, absolutely nothing. This incident had turned some skeptics to believers of the Be...

...d years of their lives to research this topic. With a wide range of explanations and theories, the Bermuda Triangle stands apart from other legends. Real life experiences and tragic disappearances might make some turn away, but the danger of the mystery is what draws other in. We may not know exactly what it is, and we may never will, but one thing is for certain, we will keep on trying to unravel the mystery that is The Bermuda Triangle.

    Flight 19 was the designation of five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle on December 5, 1945 during a United States Navy overwater navigation training flight from Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale, Florida. All 14 of the airmen on the flight were lost as well as the 13 crew members of a PBM Mariner flying boat of professional investigators which is thought to have exploded in mid-air while searching for the flight. Navy investigators could not determine the cause of the loss of Flight 19 yet many researchers argue otherwise claiming that there is a specific cause for the disappearance of Flight 19.

    “The final resting place of the men and their aircraft remains a matter of ongoing speculation, and chances grow slimmer that anyone will ever find them in the nearly infinite expanse of the mighty Atlantic Ocean” which explains how the inability of recovering the remains from Flight 19 have led researchers to take a different approach at researching the disappearance of Flight 19 rather than using only science and rationality to justify the disappearance (Ruffin 242). “Flight 19 is indeed a great mystery, one which has given rise to superstitions of inexplicable magnetic or extraterrestrial forces” which is the main reason for the growth in the possibilities of paranormal phenomena being at fault for the disappearance of Flight 19 (Donnelly). Science cannot always hold the answer to all the mysteries and problems that go on around the world and the case of Flight 19 is a perfect example. Paranormal phenomena is not accepted or even believed to be true by a majority of society but eye witnesses and sightings prove that it could possibly be the key to many of the world’s mysteries such as the disappearance of Flight

  • Cause Of The Bermuda Triangle

    “‘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

  • UFO Sightings

    Paranormal Activity is similar to pseudoscience and involves experiences outside of science (Hines, 2003). However, there is another side to these strange occurrences which includes UFOs, alien contact, and the appearance of unusual creatures. According to Imbrogno (2008) “No matter how skeptical you are, there are three things that cannot be denied: that reports of paranormal experiences exist, that they persist, and they are increasingly occurring on a global scale” (pg.16). According to Hines (2003) “Paranormal phenomena includes extrasensory perception (ESP), telekinesis, ghosts, poltergeists, life after death, reincarnation, faith healing, human auras, and so forth” (pg.20). The term UFOs, unidentified flying objects, is the reported sighting of any object or arrangement of lights that do not have a logical or natural explanation. The first reported incident in America occurred in 1947, when an amateur pilot, Kenneth Arnold, made claims of a sighting while flying his small plane near Mount Rainier in Washington which caused the U.S. government to begin searching for extraterrestrials (Stephey, 2009). Moreover, Chinese texts from the 4th century make claims of a “moon boat” that visited once every 12 years hovering above the country to become the earliest sighting in recorded history (Stephey, 2009). Although issues such as speed, shape, and size continues to differs, the U.S. Air Force commissioned Project Blue Book, an official record of sights that occurred in the U.S. from 1952 to 1969 logging over 12,000 sightings or events involving UFOs.
