The Lost City Of Atlantis: The Mystery Of The Bermuda Triangle

Along with scientists, conspiracy theorists have also been trying to crack the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle for years. Their ideas ranging from aliens, to the lost city of Atlantis, the different possible causes of this mystery are endless. Some writers have blamed UFOs for the disappearances, as they believe that aliens can use the Triangle as a portal to travel to and from our planet Earth (Christodoulou). This is suggesting that the area is like a gathering station where they capture people, ships and aircraft to conduct their research.

Again it was a perfect day, without any storms strong enough that would cause a fuel ship to disappear, just as it had been the case with Flight 19. After the ship went off the grid somewhere north of Barbados, it became one of the most popular examples of the strange dangers associated with the Bermuda
