The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region of the Atlantic Ocean in which a number of aircraft and surface vessel have disappeared in what are said to be circumstances that fall beyond the boundaries of human error or acts of nature. Some of these disappearances have been attributed to the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings by popular culture.

Piper PA-46-310P N444JH on April 10, 2007, near Berry Islands.(under investigation)

While the "mystery" of the "bermuda" triangle is the unexplained disappearances of both planes and ships in the waters between Florida and Bermuda, the "mistry" of the "Barmuda" triangle describes the unusual romance between three individuals in the small town of Barmuda, Indiana.
The town of Barmuda has a population greater than two but far less than four. The bulk of the population being Leslie Lyle Smart, an overweight farmer with more teeth than hair and a love for dressing as MC Hammer.
The other is his far younger nephew/son Clyde Owen Smart-Smart. I man who looks like a skeleton tried to put on a skin suit couldn't tell the head from the tail end of the suit.
Together, they were both in love with the smartest (and only feminine type in town), "Spammy" sue Jenkins. A four hundred pound boar who once mauled a bearded lady of a passing circus. The result was a ferral pig in ladies clothing and wig and a love story that could only be told in words mirroring shakespeare.
It became known as the "Fickle Mistry of the Barmuda Love Triangle."

No idea, but if you mean the mystery of the Bermuda triangle, there isn't one! Ever since Charles Berlitz published a book on the subject in the 60's, lots of people have written about an area of ocean where boats and planes vanish without trace. But serious journalistic investigations have shown that no more disappear in that area that anywhere else on earth, and some of the most infamous cases, when the records are properly checked, have very down to earth explanations.
It is a manufactured mystery - there is nothing that actually needs explanation!

Sam, I'll probably get a ton of mark downs for this, but don't worry about negative comments on your spelling, but try to use Spell Check, that little box with abc and a check mark and click on check spelling.
The mystery of the triangle, is why so many people are interested, but, hey, it doesn't hurt anyone to explore the writings on it.

The "Bermuda or Devil's Triangle" is an imaginary area located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States, which is noted for a high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats, and aircraft. The apexes of the triangle are generally accepted to be Bermuda, Miami, Fla., and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
In the past, extensive, but futile Coast Guard searches prompted by search and rescue cases such as the disappearance of a flight of five TBM Avengers shortly after take off from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., or the traceless sinking of USS Cyclops and Marine Sulphur Queen have lent credence to the popular belief in the mystery and the supernatural qualities of the "Bermuda Triangle."
Countless theories attempting to explain the many disappearances have been offered throughout the history of the area. The most practical seem to be environmental and those citing human error. The majority of disappearances can be attributed to the area's unique environmental features. First, the "Devil's Triangle" is one of the two places on earth that a magnetic compass does point towards true north. Normally it points toward magnetic north. The difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 20 degrees as one circumnavigates the earth. If this compass variation or error is not compensated for, a navigator could find himself far off course and in deep trouble.
An area called the "Devil's Sea" by Japanese and Filipino seamen, located off the east coast of Japan, also exhibits the same magnetic characteristics. It is also known for its mysterious disappearances.
Another environmental factor is the character of the Gulf Stream. It is extremely swift and turbulent and can quickly erase any evidence of a disaster. The unpredictable Caribbean-Atlantic weather pattern also plays its role. Sudden local thunder storms and water spouts often spell disaster for pilots and mariners. Finally, the topography of the ocean floor varies from extensive shoals around the islands to some of the deepest marine trenches in the world. With the interaction of the strong currents over the many reefs the topography is in a state of constant flux and development of new navigational hazards is swift.
Not to be under estimated is the human error factor. A large number of pleasure boats travel the waters between Florida's Gold Coast and the Bahamas. All too often, crossings are attempted with too small a boat, insufficient knowledge of the area's hazards, and a lack of good seamanship.
The Coast Guard is not impressed with supernatural explanations of disasters at sea. It has been their experience that the combined forces of nature and unpredictability of mankind outdo even the most far fetched science fiction many times each year.
We know of no maps that delineate the boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle. However, there are general area maps available through the Distribution Control Department, U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office, Washington, D.C. 20390. Of particular interest to students if mysterious happenings may be the "Aeromagnetic Charts of the U.S. Coastal Region," H.O. Series 17507, 15 sheets. Numbers 9 through 15 cover the "Bermuda Triangle."
Interest in the "Bermuda Triangle" can be traced to (1) the cover article in the August 1968 Argosy, "The Spreading Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle", (2) the answer to a letter to the editor of the January 1969 Playboy, and (3) an article in August 4, 1968 I, "Limbo of Lost Ships", by Leslie Lieber. Also, many newspapers carried a December 22, 1967 National Geographic Society news release which was derived largely from Vincent Gaddis' Invisible Horizons: True Mysteries of the Sea (Chilton Books, Philadelphia, 1965. OCLC# 681276) Chapter 13, "The Triangle of Death", in Mr. Gaddis' book, presents the most comprehensive account of the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle. Gaddis describes nine of the more intriguing mysteries and provides copious notes and references. Much of the chapter is reprinted from an article by Mr. Gaddis, "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle", in the February 1964 Argosy. The article elicited a large and enthusiastic response from the magazine's readers. Perhaps the most interesting letter, which appeared in the May 1964 Argosy's "Back Talk" section, recounts a mysterious and frightening incident in an aircraft flying over the area in 1944.

You might want to repost this question with the correct spelling before you're overwhelmed by a tsunami of criticism!?
What is the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle!
A friend of mine who lives in Florida and does sail claims most of the "disappearances" are caused by faulty navigation!

That people actually believe there is anything strange going on there.
The number of aircraft and ships lost is not at all alarmingly high given the amount of traffic that goes through there.

It is more question of language. The mastery of the Bermuda Triangle is that necessary letters disappear in questions,

Some people who have gone there have never returned, and nobody knows why. There are theories as to why. More information can be found here:
