Methane bubbles. They come up from the ocean floor and affect a ship's bouyancy. The methane keeps rising after it has left the ocean and can affect planes too.

I blame the Sargasso Sea,
which is a point in the Atlantic where two currents pass each other and cause a very large circle of rotating water.
In the past when reliance on instrumentation was not as big, the area was feared for the calm windless waters , filled with sargassum weed which accumulates in the middle and is difficult to sail through. When you are low on supplies this isn't funny. That fear has translated to today and possibly been re-inforced by a few navigators relying solely on magnetic compasses. We all know what a large mass rotating can do.
And guess what, it moves slightly but is often near or partially in the triangular lines drawn by man between convenient landmasses. Otherwise known as 'The Bermuda Triangle'.
Just thinking out loud.

Below the sea at the triangle are extremely deep trenches, so when things sink they are never found. And the strong current of the gulf stream going through there disperses what didn't go down that far.Also the area is prone to tropical storms, so ships and planes are more at risk of sinking, and never being found. Because of the magnetic field,in the past people have become lost as their compasses seemed to go crazy.All this is just geographical location, nothing paranormal.

There is overwhelming evidence that there are large underwater deposits of frozen methane in that area. When large amounts of that substance reach the surface it can cause various anomallies on the surface of the ocean and in the air. If a ship sailed into a large enough stream of methane bubbles it would sink with very little warning. If a plane or a squadron of planes flew into a large methane gas cloud the pilots could pass out, the planes could explode in mid air, and missjudgements could be made.
Methane is a curious substance, in its frozen form it can be held in a gloved hand and still set on fire.
I believe it is theese huge deposits that are the cause of the bermuda triangle incedents.

Before looking at the fantastic I try to look at the more plausible and simple explanations....Fact is the area of the Bermuda triangle has very dangerous waters and an abundance very stupid overly rich sailors who have no idea on how to handle a rowing boat let alone an ocean going craft, this leads to a lot of boats going missing.

I think its all gas gas gas!
Actually i do think this, not being rude or funny. its all about air/gas pockets in the rock on the sea bed.
When bubbles (lots of them) float up to the surface they displace water right?
OK, imagine an area the size of a football pitch at sea... inside this area are billions and billions or small bubbles of gas streaming up to the surface intermittently (released by tectonic movement). inside this area the water is LESS solid and thus cannot support the same weight Of ship passing over it that regular water can. we call this the buoyancy level equation. A ship requires a set degree of buoyancy to float, if this changes to a great degree the ship will sink. Try to imagine the difference between walking on rock and walking on sand..in sand our feet sink in.
So that sorts out the missing ships.. the planes are the same as the gas then go's up into the sky and messes around with air pressure! as to the radio interference? WHO KNOWS!

Nothing at all.
When serious investigators apply critical thinking to the 'mystery' it turns out that there is nothing requiring explanation. There is NOT a statistically significantly higher rate of aircraft or ship loss in the area than anywhere else on earth, Many of the most famous cases, like flight 19 or the Marine Sulphur Queen, are grossly mis-told in books to make them sound more mysterious than they actually were.

Science is still trying to solve that mystery.
I personally believe that the bermuda triangle is a place where two or more alternate universes intersect.
It is interesting to note that the bermuda triangle isn't the only place where this happens. The Dragon's traingle in the China sea is one as well.
It is thought that the two are actually hyperdimensional stargates from lost civilizations.

i think the place is under some kind of wierd sci force like extra radiation or a force that confuses wave-lengths because no radio signal ever actually gets to the triangle.
i slightly doubt ur idea cos if that was the case it should have been discovered by now. anyway, it is a mystery even in 07!
the question is, what kind of wildlife lives there - if any!!

Methane Gas. eruptions of methane come from the sea floor and if there is a ship there it sinks in seconds, and planes don't fly so good through a big cloud of methane.
