I thought we did. Methane gas pockets below the surface release gas and cause plane crashes and boats sinking.

Good question, but they have proven that the area called the Bermuda Triangle is actually an area under the ocean where Methane Gas is released. Methane is lighter than air. It cannot hold the weight of a ship, there for the ship sits lower in the water and fills with water and sinks. It will also make the instruments of an aircraft read that the craft is ascending when it is descending.

I don't think the Bermuda Triangle mystery is really solved because the theory about the methane bubbles seemed very unconvincing to me. Below are some quotes taken from readers and experts on this field. You decide!

"I actually just watched a special on the History Channel. They said that they think they figured out the mystery surrounding the Bermuda Triangle. They said that the disapearances were caused by Methane bubbles erupting under the ocean, and that it would create massive tidal waves that no boat could survive. And their explanation for the missing planes is that when the methane gas was released from the water, it floated up in the air, and when a plane would pass through it, the signals would screw up and the plane would literally drop out of the sky. Because Methane gas is much lighter then air, so it couldn't hold up the plane. They've done much research and many experiments to prove this theory. Sounds like it could be true, but I'd still like to think it's something more mysterious, then just gas bubbles. I mean.. where's the excitement in that?"

Here's another response to the theory:

"The bubbling of the water from the methane would create an ion cloud that would effect some electronic equipment. That's how they explained it, anyway (in practical application, not so much). What they didn't explain is how methane deposits would form in that area in the first place.

This is a classic example of putting a theory before the data. Before you find an explanation, before you try to solve the mystery, before you decide that methane, aliens, wormholes, or what have you, are the solution, you have to ask a very important first question!

"Is there anything anomalous about the Bermuda Triangle" region?"

In other words, before solving the mystery, you have to make sure that a mystery exists. And, as is usually the case in these matters, it does not.

First you remove all the events that have already been explained, such as Flight 19, which has been proven several times over to be the result of pilot error leading the planes out to sea instead of back to land.

Then you remove all the exagerations and outright fabrications. This includes boats that slipped their mooring lines, boats caught in storms, and boats sinking due to accidents. If you want to make it easy on yourself, pick up one of Charles Berlitz's books and discount all the examples he shows (you may assume I have little respect for that man's research abilities.)

Then you strip away all the subjective data, such as mediums declaring that it is the resting place of atlantis, or paranatural researchers claiming it is a cosmic twining point of interstellar wormholes for aliens (kind of like a Star Trek truck stop).

What are you left with? An certain number of crashes and sinking for which no information is available. Is this strange? Not in and of itself. The ocean is remarkably adept at hiding evidence, and not all accidents leave floatsam or oil slicks. So we check the statistics. Considering the absurdly large amount of traffic through this region, including daily flights to Key West, cruises to Bermuda, intercontinetal flights, and various passenger routes that turn this region into the single most heavily traveled area in the United States area, the amount of crashes is actually a little on the low side. If you were to check and area such as the Great Lakes, you would find a higher amount of unexplanied crashes.

Incidentaly, "unexplained" means just that: There is no explanation available. It does not mean that there were aliens, wormholes, or methane. It simply means that there is not enough data to draw a conclusion.

In all cases, the Bermuda Triangle mystery is nothing more than exagerated story telling due, in large part, to Charles Berlitz's irritating habit of , when unable to find good evidence, making it up instead.

The only problem with the methane is that the deposits are only the minimal ones you find all over the ocean floor. All the seriously large deposits are usually well monitored by the oil platforms on top of them (they tend to be where the oil is at). I once saw a safety video of a platform being swallowed by a methane cloud. It was impressive and freaky. The whole thing disappeared in minutes. Later on, divers where only able to find a few melted slags from the rig.

As for the ion effect, you can actually test this yourself next time you go hiking by a moderately sized waterfall. I think you'll find that your GPS reader, while hardly non-functional, will have a few quirks you didn't have before.

But, as I said before, the deposits are so small that the methane will sometimes not even make it to the surface and just be absorbed by the sea water. This is just a theory in search of a phenomena which doesn't exists".

The Bermuda Triangle still remains as one of the unexplanable mysteries in the planet. Better leave it as that..

Eons ago, there was a galactic war between beings of different planets. The war created a tear between the dimensions resulting the bermuda triangle. The bermuda triangle is a hole that can transport things from here to another dimension.

Yes I do, But let me tell you this. the bermuda triangle has nothing to do with the devil(satan), and everything to do with the earth's magnetic pull. something like gravation.

Well, i think there are still many things about the bermuta triangle that we don't know, many things left uncertain. But in the new age of the 21st century, we have technology on our side, and with technology comes previous knoweledge of many that have tons of information on the burmuta triangle. Although many things are uncertaing, we will gain knowledge through time.
