Vincent H. Gaddis coined the term “Bermuda Triangle” in a 1964 article for Argosy when a number of ships and planes went missing in a triangle spanning from the coast of florida to the bermuda island in a triangle at least 500,000 square miles large.
On December 15th 1945, Flight 19, a group of 5 torpedo bomber planes, lost navigational control and plummeted into the atlantic ocean, losing 14 airmen, which have since been found in addition to many others.
20 planes and 50 ships have gone missing in the triangle, and to many people, the cause of these disappearances is due to rogue tidal waves or a mysterious geomagnetic anomaly that confuses pilots that causes them to crash into the ocean and disappear.
Though geomagnetic anomalys would not affect the pilot, because in their training they are taught to fly without navigational programs, rogue tidal waves may have been true because the

Larry Kusche reported that many of the accidents reported in the bermuda triangle, were not in the triangle at all, and in many cases the incidences have been misreported due to sloppy research.
Larry Kusche would later note that “Berlitz’s research was so sloppy that ‘If Berlitz were to report that a boat were red , the chance of it being another color would be almost a certainty” (Radford, 1)
Another reason for all of these disappearances may be due to methane bubbles that turn the water into fragile froth that can't support the weight of the boats and inhales them into the ocean.
Others suggest that, “...methane eruptions from the ocean floor may suddenly be turning the sea into a froth that can't support a ship's weight…” (Unmuseum, 1) though this would not explain the number of flights that have disappeared in the
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.
Flight 19 is the most famous aircraft disappearance that is linked to the Bermuda Triangle. An abundance of books, articles, journals, and blogs are solely dedicated to the mystery of Flight 19 in the Bermuda Triangle although many of them have strong contradicting positions. The mysterious disappearance of Flight 19 is one of the most controversial and talked about topic because the case has never truly been solved due to the lack of evidence. That same lack of evidence led many researchers, authors, and reporters to look into the case themselves forming theories and myths throughout the process.
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’, 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.
What is the Bermuda Triangle? The Bermuda Triangle is an area around Florida and Cuba that form the shape of a triangle. There have countless disappearances of ships, planes, and people in this area, causing people to either investigate or write tales about the area. The Bermuda Triangle has been through a controversy of fact or fiction. According to some, planes, ships, and even people have been disappearing since the late 1400’s. Based on scientific theories there is no paranormal activity that explains the vanishing of ships, planes, and people. The ‘National Transportation Safety Board and the U.S Coast Guard’ say that the percentage disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle is the same percentage for every comparable place in the world. There have been many written books and articles about the Bermuda Triangle explaining the reasons of the disappearances of ships and plans on paranormal activity. For example, there was a ship found in the Bermuda Triangle named “Mary Celeste that was found by another ship, the ship Mary Celeste was drifting with absolutely nobody on the boat. Several stories say when they found the ship there was meals still cooking on the stove. The captains stuff was still in the captain’s courtiers and his daughter’s toys were still on the captain’s bed as if they were still there. The ship’s cargo was untouched, so no pirates raided the ship. All of the ships papers were gone except the daily log. There was no explanation except paranormal phenomena.”
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.
Explain how characters’ beliefs and values are shaped by their experiences. By exploring values and beliefs in literature, readers can shape or change their own perspectives on life. In “The Outsiders”, S.E. Hinton illustrates the importance of social conflicts, social injustice, and familial bonds in shaping a person’s beliefs. Set in urban America in the 1960s, the novel displays a society separated by class and inequality, focusing on how these divisions impact the characters’ lives and perspectives. Through these experiences of the greasers and socs, readers can see the power of brotherhood and loyalty, the futility of violence, and the importance of understanding and empathy.
The Triangle of Death, The Limbo of the Lost, The Twilight Zone, The Port of Missing Ships, The Devil’s Triangle, The Hoodoo Sea, The Deadly Triangle. These and many more are names for the mysterious Bermuda Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle has been a huge mystery to many since the early 1900's. The Triangle is an area located in the western Atlantic Ocean, where supposedly many ships, people, planes, and other objects disappear unexplainably. The three points of location that connect the triangle are Miami, Florida, Bermuda, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The triangle covers about five hundred thousand square miles of ocean. However, there is no official boundaries or markers for the triangle, just recognized linings. Over the past five centuries, more than a thousand ships and planes have disappeared inside of the triangle boundaries, and still to this day continue to do so. There are many theories behind these happenings. However, no one has yet found the real truth behind it.
Off the southern tip of Florida lies a phenomenon called the Bermuda Triangle. Ships, planes, and over one thousand lives were lost in the Triangle without a trace. Theories have been put forth, but still no universally accepted explanation exists for the mystery that surrounds the Bermuda Triangle.
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 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.
