Answer 1

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean which has been made infamous for the many people, aircraft, and surface vessels noted to have disappeared within its bounds. Many of these disappearances involve a level of mystery which are often popularly explained by a variety of theories beyond human error or acts of nature, often involving the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings. An abundance of documentation for most incidents suggests that the Bermuda Triangle is a mere legend built upon half-truths and tall tales from individuals who sailed the area, then later embellished on by professional writers.

According to the Triangle authors Christopher Columbus was the first person to document something strange in the Triangle, reporting that he and his crew observed "strange dancing lights on the horizon," flames in the sky, and at another point he wrote in his log about bizarre compass bearings in the area. From his log book, dated October 11, 1492 he actually wrote:

"The land was first seen by a sailor called Rodrigo de Triana, although the Admiral at ten o'clock that evening standing on the quarter-deck saw a light, but so small a body that he could not affirm it to be land; calling to Pero Gutierrez, groom of the King's wardrobe, he told him he saw a light, and bid him look that way, which he did and saw it; he did the same to Rodrigo Sanchez of Segovia, whom the King and Queen had sent with the squadron as comptroller, but he was unable to see it from his situation. The Admiral again perceived it once or twice, appearing like the light of a wax candle moving up and down, which some thought an indication of land. But the Admiral held it for certain that land was near..."
Modern scholars checking the original log books have surmised that the lights he saw were the cooking fires of Taino natives in their canoes or on the beach; the compass problems were the result of a false reading based on the movement of a star. The flames in the sky were undoubtedly falling meteors, which are easily seen while at sea[2]

The first article of any kind in which the legend of the Triangle began appeared in the April 1962 issue of American Legion Magazine. The article was titled "The Lost Patrol," by Allen W. Eckert, about the loss of Flight 19, a group of five U.S. Navy TBM Avenger bombers on a training mission. In the story, picked up by various authors since, it was claimed that the flight leader had been heard saying "We are entering white water, nothing seems right. We don't know where we are, the water is green, no white." It was also claimed that officials at the Navy board of inquiry stated that the planes "flew off to Mars." "The Lost Patrol" was the first to connect the supernatural to Flight 19, but it would take another author, Vincent Gaddis, writing in the February 1964 Argosy Magazine to put Flight 19 together with other mysterious disappearances, coin a new catchy name, and call the whole "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle"[3]; he would build on that article with a more detailed book, Invisible Horizons the next year. Others would follow with their own works: John Wallace Spencer (Limbo of the Lost, 1969); Charles Berlitz (The Bermuda Triangle, 1974); Richard Winer (The Devil's Triangle, 1974), and many others, all keeping to some of the same supernatural elements outlined by Eckert.[4]

I was on a ship in a hurricane in the Bermuda Triangle for five days once, a long time ago. Our anemometer broke when the wind hit 126 MPH. The waves were higher than the ship's mast. But here I am, old gray and wrinkled and living in the Midwest. Whuddya think of that?

Answer 3

Insurance companies do not charge higher rates
for insurance on ships operating in the Bermuda
Triangle. This should be sufficient evidence in
itself to show that there is nothing weird or
unexplained happening in that area. There is a
book titled The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved.
Unfortunately I don't at the moment remember the
author's name. His answer is that there was no
"mystery" in the first place. He points out that some of the lost ships or planes were known to be
in some sort of trouble, that some of them were
not even in the Triangle's area when they were
lost (one of them was even in the Pacific Ocean!)
and some of them were not lost at all. The whole
thing seems to have been made up by some
sensationalistic author looking for a way to make
a buck.

There are people, such as one of your answerers
shows, that just prefer to believe in mysteries,
even when no mystery exists.

Answer 4

No. I remember reading somewhere that nothing has ever gone lost. They just never reported finding the ones that went missing. The Bermuda Triangle actually has less accidents on average than other places, and there's also more traffic that passes through there on a daily basis. It's perfectly normal, but people just decided to exploit unreported findings for personal profit.

Answer 5

It's just a myth, brought about by some unexplained losses. These have happened in other areas too, but it doesn't make the headlines because it was not in the Bermuda triangle. Have you noticed that there haven't been any reports in years of boats, planes etc, going missing since GPS and satellite tracking started? That's because all losses can now be explained, and sunken boats and aircraft located more quickly.

Mystery solved.

Answer 6

I guess I haven't done my research, but I can believe no more than that there might be some unknown electromagnetic forces caused by the earth. I really wouldn't accept any other explanation other than "it's all BS"

Answer 7

YUp bermuda triangle is the Devil's triangle. Any thing can be attracted towards it . When i first knew about it , it sounded like black hole.

Answer 8

I believe there is *some* tangible answer to the mystery, though not necessarily something logical or normal. I do think 'something' happens at times, but what I do not know. I like this mystery, because it is a mystery within a mystery. We know aliens abduct and probe people, we *dont* know what happens or why in this scenario.

Answer 9

pure crap
