There are many unsolved mysteries in this world, and a few of them are the Bermuda Triangle disappearances. With a map of the Atlantic Ocean, and a ruler, about anyone can outline the Bermuda Triangle. It is a region in the Atlantic Ocean touching on Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Florida. “It covers roughly 500,000 square miles” (Obringer). The Bermuda Triangle is also referred to as Devil 's Triangle because many airplanes and ships have mysteriously disappeared in the region, without any trace. The Devil’s Triangle is one of the biggest mysteries of our time. There are several interesting facts about the Bermuda Triangle. For instance, “It is reported that at least 20 planes and 50 ships have gone missing in the Bermuda Triangle in the last
Over the last few centuries, it 's thought that dozens of ships and planes have disappeared under mysterious circumstances in the area. The Bermuda Triangle’s bad reputation started with Christopher Columbus. “According to his log, on October 8, 1492, Columbus looked down at his compass and noticed that it was giving weird readings. He didn’t alert his crew at first, because having a compass that didn’t point to magnetic north may have sent the already on edge crew into a panic” (Upton). This was probably a good decision considering three days later when Columbus simply spotted a strange light, the crew threatened to return to Spain” (Upton). There are many interesting facts about the “Devil’s Triangle”. According to Obringer, the first recording of the strange events of the Bermuda Triangle was by Christopher Columbus. “Christopher Columbus was on his famous journey when he recorded seeing a fireball fly across the sky and land in the ocean, and he also wrote in his log that the ship’s compass was giving inaccurate readings and acting strangely” (Obringer). Another fact is, “The Bermuda triangle is one of the two places on earth that a magnetic compass does point towards true north” (Upton), because of this a navigator could find him or herself far off course and in deep trouble. A popular theory according to Obringer is that, “Volcanic activity around the area, particularly an underwater volcano, could be
Some also believe there has been abductions by aliens in the Bermuda Triangle. There have been multiple abnormal theories such as, Hexagonal clouds forming air bombs, Unusual Seafloor, and Freak Waves. The main theory of Hexagonal clouds forming air bombs is that they can cause ships and planes to malfunction. “The airs bombs can blast and send out winds to the ocean beneath at speeds of up to 170 miles per hour which can be dangerous for aircraft or ships passing through it. Additionally, such air bomb explosion can create gigantic waves as high as 45-foot and ocean surface wind of about 100 miles per hour which too can be extremely dangerous” (Bermuda). Another example would be the unusual seafloors. Unusual Seafloors are quite strange and have unusual formations. “In fact, some of the deepest trenches in the world are found in this area. Ships or planes that sink into these deep trenches will probably never be found as they are virtually inaccessible” (Bermuda). In the Bermuda Triangle there is known to have large waves. For example, very large waves can appear suddenly even in calm seas. “Research has shown that freak waves up to 30m high & capable of sinking a large ship within moments, can and do happen” (Bermuda). Some people believe other theories cause the disappearances. “Others claim that the Bermuda Triangle is the source of black holes, which appear and
The disappearance of Flight 19 has been the longest standing mystery in aviation due to the fact that no sign
This is a common theory because there have been reported sights of unknown objects flying over Area 51 several different times. There have also been accounts of mysterious beams of light that beam through the sky that stem from area 51 and are believed to be tied to exterrestrials. Many people associate Area 51 with aliens, they believe that aliens are kept there.One of the most popular theories is that Area 51 holds the remains of Ufos and Aliens that have crash-landed on earth. In 1947, Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine flying objects in aV formation while he was flying his plane over Washington. He said that the objects were circular saucers and he had never saw anything like them. One month later an unidentified flying object crashed near Roswell, New Mexico. The Roswell Army Airfield held a press conference stating that they had recovered the remains from the flying saucer. The army quickly tried to retract that statement to avoid controversy but it was too late. Conspiracy Theorist believe that the remains of this crash included an alien spacecraft and a body. They think these remains were shipped to Area 51 for examination and study. Area 51 is commonly known to store the remains of ufo crashes on earth and keep them out of the public's
Some time in July of 1947, a mysterious flying object zigzagged across the skies of New Mexico. Within twenty-four hours the object disappeared from radar just as mysteriously as it had appeared. It was last seen in a small town in the middle of the Arizona desert, it’s name, Roswell.
This was allowing large waves to build. Unfortunately, the ship was no longer protected by land.

“‘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.
Paranormal Activity is similar to pseudoscience and involves experiences outside of science (Hines, 2003). However, there is another side to these strange occurrences which includes UFOs, alien contact, and the appearance of unusual creatures. According to Imbrogno (2008) “No matter how skeptical you are, there are three things that cannot be denied: that reports of paranormal experiences exist, that they persist, and they are increasingly occurring on a global scale” (pg.16). According to Hines (2003) “Paranormal phenomena includes extrasensory perception (ESP), telekinesis, ghosts, poltergeists, life after death, reincarnation, faith healing, human auras, and so forth” (pg.20). The term UFOs, unidentified flying objects, is the reported sighting of any object or arrangement of lights that do not have a logical or natural explanation. The first reported incident in America occurred in 1947, when an amateur pilot, Kenneth Arnold, made claims of a sighting while flying his small plane near Mount Rainier in Washington which caused the U.S. government to begin searching for extraterrestrials (Stephey, 2009). Moreover, Chinese texts from the 4th century make claims of a “moon boat” that visited once every 12 years hovering above the country to become the earliest sighting in recorded history (Stephey, 2009). Although issues such as speed, shape, and size continues to differs, the U.S. Air Force commissioned Project Blue Book, an official record of sights that occurred in the U.S. from 1952 to 1969 logging over 12,000 sightings or events involving UFOs.

However, some people are still not convinced that this trend is due to anything other than physical and human cause. Opposers to this argument say that this phenomenon goes far beyond bad weather and human error, they say it is mostly paranormal. Some of the theories include, power coming from lost souls of slaves, electronic fog and power from the lost city of Atlantis. However, one theory in particular is at the front hold of the debate and is most widely researched and accepted: Alien interaction through water portals. When talking about portals to other planets, the general idea is that there is a hole in the water that sucks travelers it and sends them to another planet for testing by aliens, however, before they
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:

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.
