The Bermuda Triangle Phenomenon

3128 Words7 Pages

A legendary triangle of Ocean lies between 3 countries upon the Atlantic

ocean. The Cities are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Fort Lauderdale. Ships,

people and aeroplanes have been reported mysteriously disappearing off the

face of the earth whilst travelling inside this triangle. It soon acquired

the name "Devils Triangle" owing to peoples superstitions that the devil

was at play on this stretch of ocean and gobbling up weary and lost

travellers with great delight, but what actually was at play inside this

triangle of rough water, is it really the devil?, or perhaps aliens are

using this spot as their home base on earth. Maybe it really does contain a

mystical vortex that sucks people down into a third dimension. The myth of the mysterious triangle was first begun in an Associated Press

dispatch Reporter E.V. W. Jones wrote of "mysterious disappearances" of ships and planes between the Florida coast and Bermuda.

Two years after this article appeared Fate magazine ran an article by

George X. Sand about a "series of strange marine disappearances, each

leaving no trace whatever, that have taken place in the past few years" in

a "watery triangle bounded roughly by Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico".

It was not long before ideas and suggestions started forming about this

piece of ocean. M.K. Jessup wrote about the disappearances and gave ideas

about alien intelligences being behind them in the book "The Case for the

UFO. The view was also echoed by Donald E. Kyhoe who is noted for his "The

Flying Saucer Conspiracy" of 1955. Frank Edwards (Stranger Than Science)

agreed with the theory of aliens having a local hangout in the triangle as

well. Finally a man by the name of Vincent H. Gaddis came up with the

phrase "BermudaTriangle". Throughout the years it has featured in many many articles, books, television series and movies and always portrayed as a very real and mysterious thing, but anyone out there with any sense surely will ask themselves " how in this day and age could boats, planes and other

travellers just go mysteriously missing in a certain piece of water?"

Geography:

The area of the Atlantic Ocean popularly referred to as the Bermuda Triangle is a complete enigma and has proven to be so for much of recorded history. Many seemingly inexplicable occurrences and disappearances have taken place in this particular area. No rational explanation that will satisfy the materialistic parameters of the typical scientist has been offered that would account for all the mysterious happenings that have taken place in the Bermuda Triangle during the course of many thousands of years.
