Bermuda Triangle:
section of the North Atlantic Ocean off North America in which more than 50 ships and 20 airplanes are said to have mysteriously disappeared. The area, whose boundaries are not universally agreed upon, has a vaguely triangular shape marked by the southern U.S. coast, Bermuda, and the Greater Antilles.
Reports of unexplained occurrences in the region date to the mid-19th century. Some ships were discovered completely abandoned for no apparent reason; others transmitted no distress signals and were never seen or heard from again. Aircraft have been reported and then vanished, and rescue missions are said to have vanished when flying in the area. However, wreckage has not been found, and some of the theories advanced to explain the repeated mysteries have been fanciful. Scientific searches have revealed nothing to substantiate the storied peril of the region—wherever it may be. Boaters and fliers continue to venture through the triangle without event.

Not this old one again - there is no such thing as the Bermuda Triangle!! If you check the insurance records for this area you will find that no more ships go down there than in any other similar area of sea. It is kept alive by people who make money out of writing about it.

How do flying or moving things disappear? The only possibility is there is a enormous atmospheric pressure in this area that destroys what ever objects that come near.This could be due to some underground volcanic activity deep inside the ocean that is sucking whatever air or object flying near.may be a blackhole of the earth"

You are right. I know th story:
Billions of years ago some allians had landed on earth.I mean they landed on the bermuda triangle. They captured that place on our earth. They still think it' their land. Which means any thing that goes into that area dissapears. (they are pulled up in the U.F.O.)

I believe it has something to do with volatile weather, such as high windsand different densities in the water, can cause the mysterious dissappearences. I'd recommend looking it up on Wikipedia. What they have on it is interesting.

Some scientists beleive that it is due to very high gravitational force in that area.
