The Bermuda Triangle is one of the biggest mysterious places in the world. Its exact location is at the Atlantic Ocean, which is bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico. In a normal daily life, it is a part of a regularly sailed shipping lane with cruise ships and many small boats also frequently sailing through the sea. Aircraft are also common in the Bermuda Triangle with both private and commercial planes commonly flying over it. While it has a nickname that shows its horror side-the Devil's Triangle. Over dozens of ships and planes have disappeared after they entered into the area. The questions the Bermuda Triangle leave for the world still remain unsolved, and some people have included it to UFO's and the mythical lost continent of Atlantis. People started to feel curious about its mysterious origin and unexplainable incidents, which followed by many sayings.
Everything with the Bermuda Triangle had begun from the log book of Christopher Columbus. Christopher Columbus was the first to have sailed through the Bermuda Triangle. Once when he sailed through the area in 1942, he found the compass was given some weird readings and all the navigation instruments on the ship was not working at all. The ship was out of control. Columbus and the sailors were fearful and depressed, according to his log book. What they could do was nothing. They had no choice but to stay in the weather-beaten ship. Fortunately, the fleet of Columbus got through the plight. Yet, the first publicized disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle was actually the Flight 19. It was an afternoon in 1945, six planes had disappeared into thin air. Five U.S. Navy Avenger planes were having an ordinary training mission, which led by an experienced pilot-Taylor. At th...

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.
The disappearance of Flight 19 has been the longest standing mystery in aviation due to the fact that no sign

The story begins on Tuesday July 1, 1947, when one Steven Mackenzie, who was stationed in Roswell at the time, was ordered to track an unknown flying object. By Wednesday the object was over Roswell. On Thursday afternoon officials from Roswell were flown in to observe the activity. Then on Friday the object completely disappeared from radar and was thought to have crashed. On Saturday July 5th a rancher, by the name of William “Mac” Brazel, discovered the wreckage on his ranch a few miles outside Roswell. Brazel reported the debris to the local sheriff, Gorge A. Wilcox, who then in
On December 5, 1872, the merchant ship Dei Gratia was on its way to Italy when it came across a disturbing sight: a ship drifting aimlessly in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The crew of the Dei Gratia attempted to hail it, but there was no response. The captain looked through his spyglass for any sign of life, but the deck of the ship was completely empty.

On August 2, 1985(a day that Dallas, Texas will never forget), at 1805:52 central daylight time, Delta Air Lines flight 191, a Lockheed L-1011-385-1, N726DA, crashed while approaching to land on runway 17L at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Texas. While passing through the rain shaft beneath a thunderstorm, flight 191 entered a microburst, which the pilot was incapable to pass through successfully. Due to the severe wind conditions, the airplane was continuously forced down towards the ground.
William Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest,” which some scholars claim was based on a real-life Bermuda shipwreck, may have enhanced the area’s aura of mystery. Nonetheless, reports of unexplained disappearances did not really capture the public’s attention until the 20th century. An especially infamous tragedy occurred in March 1918 when the USS Cyclops, a 542-foot-long Navy cargo ship with over 300 men and 10,000 tons of manganese ore onboard, sank somewhere between Barbados and the Chesapeake Bay. The Cyclops never sent out an SOS distress call despite being equipped to do so, and an extensive search found no wreckage. “Only God and the sea know what happened to the great ship,” U.S. President Woodrow Wilson later said. In 1941 two of the Cyclops’
The Bermuda Triangle is known as the devil's triangle because this place was once called islands of the devils, so “for decades, the Atlantic Ocean’s fabled Bermuda Triangle has captured the human imagination with unexplained disappearances of ships, planes, and people” (What is the Bermuda Triangle? 1) This place is known as “a mythical section of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico where dozens of ships and airplanes have disappeared” (Bermuda Triangle 1). These mysterious vanishings go back to 1492 when Christopher Columbus was one of the first who claimed and saw strange sightings of strange dancing lights, flames in the sky, and at one point or another wrote about strange compass readings. This is one of the many places in the world where compasses work a little differently.
The Bermuda Triangle only exists in the writer's imagination, it’s an area within the points of Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Florida, this region is also known as the Devil's Triangle. It caught attention when the Cyclops, a U.S. ship named after a giant in the Greek mythology explaining how large the boat was, have sunken in that within that region. Another weird famous incident was flight 19. (a torpedo bomber group wave was sent for practicing and disappeared over the region without sending a SOS signal.) The pilots were well trained to avoid incidents and crashes; however, the U.S. navy never received information to know what had happened.
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.
It was the night of April 14, 1912. I was in the dining room eating some Lemon Capellini with caviar, it was delicious, I could feel the tiny orbs bursting and filling my mouth with a delightful flavor. All of the in the area smelled great! It was the highpoint of the cruise. Suddenly, I heard a loud roar coming from below. I knew the boat had been struck.
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 The Devil's Islands, because sea travelers could hear various different screeching noises coming off the shores (Obringer1).
