There has always been a lot of speculation about the Bermuda Triangle, blaming sea monsters and the lost city of Atlantis for all of the disappearances within the past century. Everything that happens, though, can be logically explained, just by taking a look at the weather patterns and the waters that lie within the Bermuda Triangle.
One of the possible reasons why so many ships and aircraft mysteriously disappear is because of methane hydrates. Methane hydrates are pockets of gas trapped inside crystallized water. The gas forms when sea organisms die and decay on the ocean floor. The gas is generally frozen at large amounts of pressure and cold temperatures, but because they are embedded in subterranean rock, they are rather vulnerable. If an earthquake happens or the rocks naturally shift, the hydrates can be dislodged. This means that the hydrates would explode and release the methane bubbles which expand and grow larger as they explode towards the surface of the water. Because the gas is lighter than water, the water, and any ship caught it the bubble, would instantly lose buoyancy. Any ship that is within the bubble, would instantly start to sink to the bottom of the ocean within a matter of minutes and no one would be able to get off board fast enough. Methane bubbles can not only take down a ship, but they can also take out an aircraft. The bubbles start out at the bottom of the ocean and travel upwards, but they need somewhere to go afterwards, so they continue up into the atmosphere. Any aircraft flying over that area can be taken down without any warning. However, victims on board the said ship or aircraft have been found on board or floating in the water without a scratch. There are two possibilities for this occurren...

...sides of the Triangle faces Hurricane Alley. When a big storm occurs, a microburst manifests. A microburst is a sudden, strong air current, usually a downdraft caused by a storm’s rotation. A microburst sucks air down from a higher altitude down to a lower one. When this happens, airplane are susceptible to nosediving into the water below. Hurricanes in the Bermuda Triangle can have more energy than ten atomic bombs. The storms can be one hundred miles across and have wind speeds from 75 to 200 hundred mph with waves that can reach over 100 feet high. The waves generally have a gap of 10 seconds and travel about 100 feet.
The ‘mystery’ of the Bermuda Triangle may be a fascinating thought. Sea monsters and Atlantis are not the reasons for all of the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. Everything that happens there can be logically, and reasonably, explained.
This paper will prove it will remain unknown if the Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) crash sighting at Roswell, New Mexico on July 4th, 1947 did happen, although the government is hiding Extraterrestrial information there. The following is a list of terms that may become confusing to some readers.
In the scholarly journal, “The Bermuda Triangle Mysteries: An Explanation Based on the Diffraction of Heat Waves (2000)”, physicist Ernest C. Njau claims that the mysteries noted in the Bermuda region may be accounted by the Eastward-moving heat waves along the Earth’s surface as they cause changes in the weather and ocean patterns that could play a big role in the disappearances over the Bermuda Triangle. Njau provides the readers with another credible possibility that could be responsible for the disappearances and mysterious lost ships and planes in the Bermuda region in order to prove that paranormal phenomena may not be the cause behind these sudden disappearances. The research cited explains that the Eastward-moving heat waves along the Earth’s surface “to a large extent, account for the mysteries already noted in the Bermuda region” (Njau). In the academic journal, “Hydrates Represent Gas Source, Drilling Hazard”, senior researcher in geology and associate professor Elchin Bagirov and senior geophysicist Ian Lerche, purport that the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle can actually be explained by the phenomenon of hydrate crystals ruling out paranormal phenomenon. Bagirov and Lerche cite a variety of diagrams that they claim show the special properties of hydrate crystals and their effects to indicate their relationship with the mysterious disappearances of ships and aircraft in the Bermuda Triangle. The authors provide a scientific and rational explanation for the numerous mysteries of missing ships and aircraft in the Bermuda Triangle in order to persuade the readers that the mysteries surrounding the Bermuda Triangle can be explained by actual scientific

The Bermuda Triangle (the Devil’s Triangle), is a stretch of the Atlantic Ocean bordered by a line from Florida, to the islands of Bermuda, to Puerto Rico and then back to Florida. It is well known for all the mysterious things that happen within it. It got its name from a news article written by VIncent H. Gaddis in 1964. He claimed that in that part of the Atlantic ocean, a large amount of ships and planes have went missing without any explanation. He wasn’t the first to claim something about that area, but he gave it the name. The first major story about the Bermuda Triangle was when the USS Cyclops went missing in 1911. It is the most famous ship lost in the Bermuda Triangle. It served has a collier for the U.S Navy during World War 1. It was on its way from Bahia, Salvador to Baltimore, Maryland. The ship never made it to Baltimore. The ship could have sunk anywhere between Baltimore and Bahia. It is not proven to have sunk in the Bermuda Triangle, but that was the area they had said it sunk in.
Through the years there has been many ideas to what goes bump in the night. Mysterious, unsolved happenings blamed on the so-called supernatural. There are many myths, legends and lore based on these so called mysterious happenings. Through this research paper I am going to help to explain the biggest threats, conspiracies, and misunderstandings of aforementioned legends, myths, and lore.
The Bermuda Triangle is situated in the Atlantic Ocean. It is formed by an imaginary line that forms a triangle. The points that form the triangle starts from the island of Bermuda; then to San Juan, Puerto Rico; and then finally to Miami, Florida. The scope of the Bermuda Triangle varies roughly from 500,000 square miles to about more than a million square miles.
The Bermuda Triangle is the home of approximately just under a thousand “unexplained” disappearances in the past five hundred years. This area has generated unproven tales that have served as “explanations” for these disappearances. The triangle is also known for its unique weather and other “unnatural” occurrences. However, each story or occurrence within the Bermuda Triangle can be explained.
As amazing as this discovery sounds, there have been many attempts to find the truth about the island and some truths have been revealed which lead to other questions and more obsessions.
There is camera proof of pictures of clouds and proof from the U.S. Coastguard of reasons for accidents in the area. The area is a dangerous part of the ocean for those reasons, but there is nothing mysterious about it. Also, there is no proof of the remains of people, planes, and ships because the Gulf Stream carries them elsewhere, but they have not disappeared, they have just been moved and altered. It is impossible for anything to stay in the exact spot it landed in the ocean because of the constant movement in the water. There is no evidence of the remains of people, but there are several contributing factors to why people have crashed such as: the underwater topography, the current of the Gulf Stream, and methane gas hydrates. There are very deep trenches in that area and it is unlikely that ships there will be found. The current in that area is also extremely strong and can misplace evidence of ships
Well, any of these could be true, but until there is some hard evidence to back it up, we can’t be sure. The Bermuda triangle may be one of the greatest mysteries yet, it may as well just be a legend made up to entertain, but many are intrigued and have devoted years of their lives to researching this topic. With a wide range of explanations and theories, the Bermuda Triangle stands apart from other legends. Real life experiences and tragic disappearances might make some turn away, but the danger of the mystery is what draws others in. We may not know exactly what it is, and we may never will, but one thing is for certain, we will keep on trying to unravel the mystery that is The Bermuda Triangle.
This event proved to, the most famous US Navy losses which have occurred at the area famously known as the Bermuda Triangle are USS Cyclops in March. The ship probably sank in an unexpected storm, and traces of them have never been found. This event indicates that there is another nature that is unknown to the human world of the jinn. In addition, this event can be proved from the Holy Quran that Allah said:
It is a legend that has terrified sailors since Columbus first sailed towards America. Its name is not on any official map, but a quick Google search turns up 10,400,000 web pages, and 101,000 books. What legend is this? It is the legend of the Bermuda triangle. A host of theories attempts to explain the supposedly abnormal events in the Bermuda triangle in a supernatural or physically impossible way. These theories attract the most attention, and are what have promoted the Bermuda triangle to the status of “Legend”. Now, let us explore some of the more prominent ones, namely the Electronic Fog theory, the Hutchinson effect , and government experiments with advanced radar at AUTEC naval base.

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as Devil’s Triangle is an imaginary triangle located between the points of San Juan, Miami, and Bermuda. Christopher Colombus was the first to report odd happenings in the triangle. He claimed that odd lights appeared in the area, and that his compass was acting odd. Afterward, countless reports of missing ships and planes in the area have been noted. No one has an answer to the mystery, however several theories have been developed. The Devils Triangle is a common mystery and a contreversial subject because of the mystery that surounds it, the specific disapearances and paranormal activity that has been publicized, and researchers attention to the topic by their efforts to formulate theories and explanations to solve the mystery.
The disappearance of Flight 19 and the USS Cyclones are just some of the things that occurred and are based on the Bermuda Triangle. Theories like the Methane Hydrate and others are merely assumptions made by scientists in hopes of unfolding the mystery of the Triangle, when in reality we will never know for sure what happens within the Bermuda’s itself.
