Decide for yourself. Many a strange thing has happened in the Bermuda Triangle, but so it happens everywhere. As far as ships, boats, and aircraft's going down without leaving any sign, consider the strong currents attributed to the Gulf Streams and the time between actually knowing their in trouble and getting a search underway.

The "Bermuda or Devil's Triangle" is an imaginary area located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States, which is noted for a high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats, and aircraft. The apexes of the triangle are generally accepted to be Bermuda, Miami, Fla., and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

In the past, extensive, but futile Coast Guard searches prompted by search and rescue cases such as the disappearance of a flight of five TBM Avengers shortly after take off from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., or the traceless sinking of USS Cyclops and Marine Sulphur Queen have lent credence to the popular belief in the mystery and the supernatural qualities of the "Bermuda Triangle."

Countless theories attempting to explain the many disappearances have been offered throughout the history of the area. The most practical seem to be environmental and those citing human error. The majority of disappearances can be attributed to the area's unique environmental features. First, the "Devil's Triangle" is one of the two places on earth that a magnetic compass does point towards true north. Normally it points toward magnetic north. The difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 20 degrees as one circumnavigates the earth. If this compass variation or error is not compensated for, a navigator could find himself far off course and in deep trouble.

depends if you're a Mulder or a Scully :) Some of it's mysteries have been solved, but some might say if you pick any area on the globe as large as the Triangle you will find just as many incidences of paranormal activity. Either way, nobody has yet solved for me the mystery of the Mary Celeste (a liner that vanished then reappeared minus crew and passengers with no signs of damage) so i'd have to finally answer Yes.

Hi.

Good question. Yes and No.

Yes: The disappearance of planes and boats in that area is true.

No: They didn't go into a black hole or time warp.

Earlier navigation systems used in planes and boats were easily affected by the magnetic field distortion in that area. As a result, compasses read wrong and electrical electrical equipment didn't function as expected. Planes either circled until they ran out of gas and crashed into the sea. Boats either ran out of fuel or crashed into rocks. Radios signals might have been distorted.

Today it sitll could take days to find someone stranded at sea. Imagine what happened back then when the navigation equipment failed and folks couldnt easily identify your location because no signals.

I've heard that it may be possible that methane gas is bubbling up from under the triangle...and the bubbles are big enough 2 swallow a ship...also the gas rises and can cause air plains 2 stall in mid air... and cause big jumbo jets instruments 2 go completely hay wire confusing pilots enough 2 cause a crash... but i would'nt want 2 solve your mystry 4 you.

I've heard that sulfur deposits beneath the ocean floor come up and react with the salt water forming a gas that messes with the engines and electronic equipment in vessels. I don't know about the validity of this however...

Yes, it is true.
Area of Bermuda Triangle do have a weird magnetic field which scientist are still unable to discover it. People who were sucked into its black hole were missing(went to the other dimension). Some of them went back to this dimension but they became old just in a while.

Nah, it's a load of hoopla. I knew two people who went in the area and didn't experience anything strange. But don't take my word for it, check it out yourself, Indiana!
