Bermuda triangle so called as the "Devils triangle" is a utter non-sense if you try to relate it with aliens,U.F.O's and even "ghosts".
The truth is that "Bermuda triangle" is a vast field of of natural gas so much that it could run a country like U.S.A for a year! and still not run dry.
It is not always that ships and aircrafts disappear,let me tell you that
scientists have actually visited the the very bed of the this so called triangle.
THE TRUTH:
Try this experiment before you actually try to understand the answer scientifically
Take any object that floats on water(maybe a plastic mug,or a toy
ship) and put it on a bucket of water.If you have a vacuum cleaner or a cycle pump,put the nozzle into the water(i prefer a cycle pump ,unless you can devise a mechanism that makes the vacuum cleaner nozzle water-proof).Now vigorously pump in the water(use the vacuum cleaner unless you are a Hercules),the air bubble will first try to push the boat and later wobble it.After about
10 min or so the air content in the bucket will rise tremendously
pushing the water out and replacing it by air, gradually the boat will SINK.
What I'm actually trying to say is that, scientists have actually found that the gas field in Bermuda triangle blows itself out(somewhat like a volcano or maybe because of a undersea volcano which is still active) at irregular intervals.Thereby increasing the gas content in that area underwater tremendously(by almost 25-50%!!!),and there by a ship which may be in that area displaces less water(Archimedes principle)and gradually sinks.This is also a reason why no oil or gas company venture there.Let me make this straight NOT ALL SHIPS SINK THERE!!
In case of aircrafts it was only till the mid 90's when aircrafts started to disappear there ,this was due to the geography of the region.All the islands over that region look alike which confused the pilots.Most of them spend lot of fuel trying to find the right spot to land and ended up lowering their fuel enormously.Under such stances the pilot becomes hysterical(unable to think what to do) and end up crashing in sea.Modern aircrafts equipped with GPS
don't face such problems.Even though some of them do "disappear"(i prefer crash) still due to negligence or equipment failure.LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR NO ALIENS,NO U.F.O's AND CERTAINLY NO GHOSTS.
If you want videos and picture of this 100% true fact, here is the link:

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 said 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.

The boundaries of the Triangle vary with the author; some stating its shape is akin to a trapezium covering the Florida Straits, the Bahamas, and the entire Caribbean island area east to the Azores; others add to it the Gulf of Mexico. The more familiar, triangular boundary in most written works has as its points Miami, Florida, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda, with most of the incidents concentrated along the southern boundary around the Bahamas and the Florida Straits.
The area is one of the most heavily-sailed shipping lanes in the world, with ships crossing through it daily for ports in the Americas and Europe, as well as the Caribbean islands. Cruise ships are also plentiful, and pleasure craft (boats and aircraft) regularly go back and forth between Florida and the islands.
The Gulf Stream ocean current flows through the Triangle after leaving the Gulf of Mexico; its current of five to six knots may have played a part in a number of disappearances. Sudden storms can and do appear, and in the summer to late fall the occasional hurricane strikes the area. The combination of heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather makes it inevitable that vessels could founder in storms and be lost without a trace — especially before improved telecommunications, radar and satellite technology arrived late in the 20th century.[1]

Bermuda Triangle, the best-known of a variety of folk names given to a triangular region of the Atlantic Ocean whose apexes are Miami, Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and the island of Bermuda. Numerous ships and aircraft have disappeared in the area, the most famous being a flight of five U.S. Navy Avenger torpedo bombers that failed to return from a routine training mission in December 1945. Other losses range from small pleasure boats to the 542-foot U.S. Navy collier Cyclops, lost with all hands in 1918. Since the 1960s, some commentators have attributed these disappearances to powerful, mysterious forces that include UFOs, time warps, and the "lost continent" of Atlantis. Scientific and maritime authorities have consistently rejected these explanations in favor of naturalistic ones such as turbulent seas, rapidly changing weather conditions, and the errors of inexperienced sailors and pilots.
The name "Bermuda Triangle" first appeared in a 1964 Argosy Magazine article by Vincent Gaddis. A widely reprinted 1967 National Geographic Society press release gave it national prominence. Charles Berlitz's sensationalistic book The Bermuda Triangle (1974) and Steven Spielberg's references to the Avengers' Flight 19 in his film Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) bracketed the peak of the legend's popularity.
