The Bermuda Triangle, an area stretching from the tip of Florida, to Puerto Rico, all the way to the Bermuda islands, is a region within the Atlantic Ocean that has had many planes and ships evaporate into thin air without little to no explanation. Even though this region has had various incidents, it is still not represented upon maps of any sorts. Many theories have arisen about the triangle, but only a few out of those are actually plausible. This paper will go over a few non credible and reasonable theories. The Bermuda Triangle should be established as a hazardous zone due to its impulsive behavior, and should be implemented on maps, to thwart or at least reduce future accidents.
Many theories have tried to explain the triangle such as the magnetic field of the Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle is one of the few places on Earth that actually points true North. With this, the magnetic field is claimed to put off pilots by 20 degrees (Quasar). This was used to blame one of the most famous disappearances’ of five army bombers, Flight

In Siberia large creators were found. They were the product of methane gas build up and the explosion of it. Many people had speculated that this could be a reason for the disappearing ships and planes in the Triangle since it has methane gas below as well. However, scientists who had no contact with the statement about the methane gas and the Bermuda Triangle say, “the weird sinkhole does not explain vanishings in the Bermuda Triangle” (Lewis). In Contrast to these scientists’ declarations, researchers have suggested that methane hydrates could be responsible for the disappearances (Lewis). “It is very possible that the similar sinkholes in the ocean were produced [as a result] of decomposing gas hydrates,” said Vladimir Romanovsky, a geophysicist who studies permafrost at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, but who was not involved with the study
Flight 19 was the designation of five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle on December 5, 1945 during a United States Navy overwater navigation training flight from Naval Air Station Fort Lauderdale, Florida. All 14 of the airmen on the flight were lost as well as the 13 crew members of a PBM Mariner flying boat of professional investigators which is thought to have exploded in mid-air while searching for the flight. Navy investigators could not determine the cause of the loss of Flight 19 yet many researchers argue otherwise claiming that there is a specific cause for the disappearance of Flight 19.
A skeptic once argued “trying to find a common cause for every Bermuda Triangle disappearance is no more logical than trying to find a common cause for every automobile accident in Arizona” (“Bermuda Triangle”). Although some theories may be more plausible than others, this is implying that there is not one single explanation of these disappearances. While some researchers propose far-fetched theories, historical events as well as scientific observation and experimentation show many reasonable explanations to the abnormal phenomenon that occurs within the boundaries if the Bermuda Triangle.
Archeologists conduct research with satellites using infared imaging (Juan De Los Santos, 2), and treasure hunters use inventions attached to their boats, like the mailbox (Scott L. Key). Treasure hunters are having trouble with public property rules (Scott L. Key, 11). Unfortunately, they are no longer permitted to research freely. Satellites have many limiting factors. They data they provide doesn't ensure accuracy of a storm's strength of when it hits (Harriet Jane Caldwell, 7). Although these gather information and have allowed for discovery, this way of exploration is not ideal to flying through hurricanes.
Scientist have come to believe that when the ships and airplanes fly through the triangle that a hurricane, tsunami or a waterspout might have swallowed the ships. There have been a few times where empty and intact ships have washed ashore but the only thing found was either a dog or cat, but no humans whatsoever. Waterspouts might spin up to a speed of 150 MPH but they usually won’t last longer than 10 minutes. Yet these waterspouts have the power rip ships in half and destroy airplanes. Tsunamis can reach speeds of 600 MPH and reach heights of 100 feet. The possibility of a tsunami being responsible for the disappearances is low because tsunamis are usually visible on land. Hurricanes can swallow a ship but it’s not usual for it to swallow an airplane. A ship being swallowed possible but the problem is if they in fact really do get destroyed what happens to the remains of the ships and the people? This leaves many scientist puzzled if climate changes are responsible for the disappearances then why haven’t any remains been found.
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.
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is the cause of many unexplained disappearances that happened within its boundary. One of the many mysteries of the triangle is Flight 19. Five Avenger planes vanished without even a single trace. What happened to Flight 19, did aliens actually abduct the planes? Or is there another explanation as to how they disappeared?
“‘The ‘Bermuda Triangle’, or ‘Devil’s Triangle’, is a mythical geographic area’, states a fact sheet issued by the U.S. Coast Guard” (Gaffron 17). One of the most influential groups in the United States believes that the Bermuda Triangle is only a myth. “Most rational explanations for the incidents in the Bermuda Triangle, including the explanations given by the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard, include human error and environmental effects” (Obringer). The U.S. Navy has lost quite a few ships in the Bermuda Triangle region and believe that the reason behind those disappearances involved either human or technical difficulties. “Plane ditchings or explosions in flight may result from many causes; lack of visible evidence being explained by the truism that ‘It’s a big ocean’” (Berlitz 6) The reports from the people that actually lost lives believe in that something bad but normal happened which is a sound explanation for the
“In total, six airplanes and 27 men appear to have vanished” (How). On December 5th of 1945, five U.S. Navy bombers went missing without a trace of why. Later a rescue plane was sent to search for the plane and the survivors, but those planes disappeared as well. That incident is one of the most famous and well known disappearances in the area (How). The Bermuda triangle is an area in the Atlantic Ocean which many people believe mysterious disappearances have taken place. It reaches Puerto Rico, Florida, and Bermuda in a triangle shape that covers approximately 500,000 square miles (History). The mysterious disappearances in the Bermuda triangle are myths as evidenced by people who travel the area safely every day, there is no scientific proof of the mysteries, and there are scientific reasons why people have disappeared.
The mystery of The Bermuda Triangle has proven time and time again to be one of the world’s most bewildering phenomenons, and has kept scholars and conspiracists alike scratching their heads. It has defied all aspects of logic, science, likelihood, and probability. According to a late September, 2017 article by Holly Christodoulou, a writer for “The Sun”, “The Bermuda Triangle seems to have laid claim to at least 1000 lives via the mysterious disappearances of massive man-made vessels such as planes, boats, and cargo ships that remain unfound to this very day” (https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2021520/bermuda-triangle-ships-planes-conspiracy-theories/).
You might know that the Bermuda Triangle is a legendary place where numerous disappearances have occurred, but how much do you really know about it? Some people don’t believe in such a place, but some do. Research has been conducted to try and figure out what could possibly be happening here, but with no hard evidence. The mysterious Bermuda Triangle may be more than just a myth though; the Bermuda triangle has a long history with disappearances, few people live through it to tell the tale, and possible theories have been made over the years; leaving scientists questioning this strange phenomenon.
The Bermuda triangle is commonly known for the disappearances of planes and ships. There has never been a theory to solve the mystery of the Bermuda triangle. There have been way too many planes and ships to say that the Bermuda triangle isn’t real. The Bermuda Triangle has a lot of history behind it and is said to be the reason for the navigational confusion. There have been many rational theories about the phenomenon which people can still not decide if the Bermuda triangle is real or fake. We have never been able to explain why so many planes and ships have gone missing. Media have said that the Bermuda triangle is a manufactured mystery.
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.
“A fairy tell, a popular tale, a pop tale, a dead tale, a pop corpse. A rotting version of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid” (Applegate 1). Laura Glenum’s Pop Corpse is a sort of poetry where boundaries are limitless. It takes a fairy tell like The Little Mermaid and completely twists it around as expressed in David Applegate’s review of the poem. The work includes a character that has a forced identity and struggles with her purpose in the world. This character is XXX. She struggles throughout the whole poem with accepting who she is and tries to change her female role throughout the series of poems. There are many motives that drive XXX throughout the work, but none as important
The paranormal activity and substantial amount of ships and planes missing reported suggests that the triangle would be a deadly place for ships to travel across. However, the area is passed through daily by multiple cruise ships along with planes as well. The “World Wide Fund For Nature” created a list of the 10 most deadly waters for shipping, but the bermuda triangle was not included. Research has hinted towards reports of several incidents being exaterated or imbellished. Despite the evidence, the majority of people still believe the triangle is not deadly, and in fact, is completely safe to ship through, or fly over. On the contrary, over the past 5 centuries, more than 1000 ships and planes have dissapeared unaccounted for in the triangle(http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq8-1.htm). Therefore, the aura of mystery surrounding the triangle is alive and well.
The Bermuda triangle is a place that boggles many scientists even in this day and age. The Bermuda Triangle, referred to by some as the Devil's Triangle, is in a western region of the North Atlantic Ocean where countless aircraft, ships and people have inexplicably disappeared. Throughout the years of 1955 and 1975 more than 428 vessels disappeared, along with 100 ships and 1000 lives (Obringer1). Where did these people and ships disappear off too and how come no remains were found is the mysterious question people yearn to find out. Back in the 1964, the Bermuda triangle was often nicknamed as The Devil's Islands, because sea travelers could hear various different screeching noises coming off the shores (Obringer1). The Bermuda Triangle is a whirl pool of mysterious occurrences where things have magically disappeared without any remains and no matter how many theories scientists come up with to solve the mysteries of this enchanted island, none come close to having answers for any incident that occurred on this island.
