The Bermuda Triangle (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.
Many theories have been given to explain the extraordinary mystery of these missing ships and planes. Evil extraterrestrials, residue crystals from Atlantis, evil humans with anti-gravity devices or other weird technologies, and vile vortices from the fourth dimension are favorites among fantasy writers.
There are some skeptics who argue that the facts do not support the legend, that there is no mystery to be solved, and nothing that needs explaining.The number of wrecks in this area is not extraordinary, given its size, location and the amount of traffic it receives. Many of the ships and planes that have been identified as having disappeared mysteriously in the Bermuda Triangle were not in the Bermuda Triangle at all
Over the years there have been dozens of articles, books, and television programs promoting the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is an area of the north Atlantic Ocean where it is popularly believed a significant number of ships and aircraft have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances. It has become popular through its representation by mass media as an area of paranormal activity where the known laws of physics are violated. It has even been suggested that extraterrestrial beings are responsible for some of the disappearances.
Despite popular belief, the United States Coast Guard and other agencies cite statistics indicating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily-traveled region of the world. Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon closer examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.

It is in the Atlantic Ocean. It starts at the tip of Florida (Miami) goes to the little island of Bermuda, and then from there goes to the island of Puerto Rico. From Puerto Rico it goes back to the tip of Florida and a triangle is formed.
So from Florida it goes Northeast to Bermuda, and then Southwest to Puerto Rico, from Puerto Rico it goes Northwest to the tip of Florida. It's the mysterious Bermuda Triangle!

Florida 82.45 W, 28.42 N
Puerto Rico 66.05 W, 18.05 N These are the three points of the triangle. I can recommend Google earth it has longitude latitude
