The Bermuda Triangle consists of Bermuda, Miami and Puerto Rico as the points. More interesting information may be found at
bermuda-triangle.org. Many ships and planes have mysteriously vanished within its boundaries including the Marine Sulphur Queen and the ill-fated Flight 19.

The Bermuda Triangle (also known as Devil's Triangle) is a nearly half-million square-mile (1.2 million km²) area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Bermuda Triangle has become popular through representation by the mass media, in which it is a paranormal site in which the known laws of physics are violated and altered.

While there is a common belief that a number of ships and airplanes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances in this region, the United States Coast Guard and others disagree with that assessment, citing statistics demonstrating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily traveled region of the world [1]. Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon close examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.

The triangle is an arbitrary shape, crudely marking out a corridor of the Atlantic Ocean, stretching northward from the West Indies, along the North American seaboard, as far as the Carolinas. In the Age of Sail, ships returning to Europe from parts south would sail north to the Carolinas, then turn east for Europe, taking advantage of the prevailing wind direction across the North Atlantic. Even with the development of steam and internal-combustion engines, a great deal more shipping traffic was (and still is) found nearer the US coastline than towards the empty centre of the Atlantic. The Triangle also loosely conforms with the course of the Gulf Stream as it leaves the West Indies, and has always been an area of volatile weather. The combination of distinctly heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather meant that a certain, also distinctly large, number of vessels would flounder in storms. Given the historical limitations of communications technology, most of those ships that sank without survivors would disappear without a trace. The advent of wireless communications, radar, and satellite navigation meant that the unexplained disappearances largely ceased at some point in the 20th Century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace.
In the 1960s, American journalist Vincent Gaddis renamed the region from "The Devil's Triangle" to "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle," but the shortened version "Bermuda Triangle" is far more common.

Other areas often purported to possess unusual characteristics are the Devil's Sea, located near Japan, and the Marysburgh Vortex or the Great Lakes Triangle, located in eastern Lake Ontario.

Bermuda Triangle, it's an area off the coast of Florida with the borders marked by lines between the southern coast of Miami, Easter Island, and something else out there I don't remember what. Anyway, this area is the origin of dozens if not hundreds of mysterious dissapearances of boats, ships and planes, and supposedly the sighting of "UFO's". It's always had a bad reputation as a place of supernatural occurrences with freak storms appearing out of clear skies, boats being sucked under in calm seas, and planes flying into clouds and either never coming out or shooting through wormholes or other entertaining things. At the moment the best explanation for all the mysterious vanishings is the Methane Bubbles theory, where methane pockets on the ocean floor burst open and lower the surface tension around a ship enough for it to sink, and to stall airplane engines. An experiment was done on the original engine of a P-51 Mustang and it showed that less that 1% Methane gass in the intake was enough to stall the engine.

As for the UFO's, either methane clouds igniting or people gettin real bored and wanting attention.

The wormholes? Well...I got this to say to the pilot, lay off the smack.

Bermuda (or "Devil's") Triangle is a triangular area in the Atlantic Ocean bounded roughly at its points by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Legend has it that many people, ships and planes have mysteriously vanished in this area. How many have mysteriously disappeared depends on who is doing the locating and the counting. The size of the triangle varies from 500,000 square miles to three times that size, depending on the imagination of the author. (Some include the Azores, the Gulf of Mexico, and the West Indies in the "triangle.") Some trace the mystery back to the time of Columbus. Even so, estimates range from about 200 to no more than 1,000 incidents in the past 500 years. Howard Rosenberg claims that in 1973 the U.S. Coast Guard answered more than 8,000 distress calls in the area and that more than 50 ships and 20 planes have gone down in the Bermuda Triangle within the last century.

Bermuda triangle is nothing but a large piece of ocean and two small islands. By intense research, it has been found that the concentration of earth's gravitational force and the interference between the cosmic matter and its anti particle is very high. hence, due to an effect 3 dimensional transmition, the planes which fly through a particular area in that triangle is being replaced into a different dimensional frame of reference so that the object cannot be retrieved.
