The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the devils triangle, is an imaginary triangle that is to many a myth to others a huge mystery. From facts of methane gas bubbles to theories of AUTEC base, the huge mystery changes to a fact or fiction story. The Bermuda Triangle has been one of the most researched places on the planet; many people, including myself, want to know the truth behind the mystery. The Bermuda Triangle is one of the most mysterious places on Earth; however there are many theories behind this mystery, some including the government.
The Bermuda Triangle is located in the Atlantic Ocean the Bermuda Triangle, although a total mystery to most, it is full of lost ships and planes. Many wonder what the mystery behind this triangle is. Back in 1492 Columbus, who sailed the ocean at the beginning of the age of exploration, noted things affecting his compass reading (“The Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.”) The triangle wasn’t mentioned again until 1964 (“The Bermuda Triangle: exploring mystery of this underwater wonder”.) Hundreds of ships and planes have gone missing or lost control in the triangle. One of the most famous disappearances in the triangle is Flight 19. Flight 19, a navy adventure, was an incident that happened back in December of 1945; the flight went out with other adventures and had a compass malfunction, the flight commander Charles Taylor was apparently off course of where they had planned to go. All the flights had disappeared and were eventually found, except for flight 19; which is why this disappearance is one of the most famous (“The Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle” & “Bermuda Triangle Mystery-Facts and Myths”.) Another famous one that went missing was the USS Cyclops; it went missing in 1918 w...

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.
Even more amazing than the unique formation we see today, is the history behind how it was formed. Approximately 500 million years ago, thick layers of sedimentary rocks (made up of mud, sand and other sediments) were deposited in what was once a shallow sea. There are three different hypotheses concerning exactly HOW the tower itself formed. All three theories agree that the original formation was still approximately 1.5 miles underground when it was formed and that it was initially shaped by magma that rose into older sedimentary rock and then cooled. That being said, the scientific theories do vary on a variety of points. One suggests that Devil’s Tower might be an old, deformed igneous rock that took shape as magma hardened above a magma feeder pipe, causing it to bulge. Another theory states that Devil’s Tower could be all that’s left of the plumbing system of an ancient volcano. However, very little evidence has been found thus far to support this theory. Finally, the simplest scientific theory is that the tower is actually the shaft of a volcano that never reached the Earth’s surface.
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 is the home of approximately just under a thousand “unexplained” disappearances in the past five hundred years. This area has generated unproven tales that have served as “explanations” for these disappearances. The triangle is also known for its unique weather and other “unnatural” occurrences. However, each story or occurrence within the Bermuda Triangle can be explained.
“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/).
This is an area where countless amounts of ships and or planes are said to have vanished due to odd conditions that nobody can confirm. In fact, over 1000 lives have been lost, 50 ships, and 100 airplanes have vanished here within just the last 100 years.There is large amounts of theories and reasons people have come up with to describe this phenomenon but the three most plausible ones are Methane gases being released into the water, lowering the buoyancy, electromagnetic fields messing with any electrical equipment and compases, or causing ‘time travel’, as well as natural causes such as weather. The area within the Triangle is one of the most often traveled shipping lanes and flight patterns in the world. I don’t personally believe there is any singular answer to what actual happens within the Bermuda region, but I do believe that it is a joint operation of many different factors depending on the situation at hand. As long as those theories exist, the Bermuda Triangle will remain a source of fascination and mystery until science proves
This suggests that when humans who are traveling through the Bermuda Triangle make a wrong decision as far as direction, speed, altitude, etc. goes, it can often cost them their life. The same goes for many other things such as driving, you can’t remove human error from normal, often dangerous tasks, and that is when you get problems such as the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. Another contributor to human error that Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki noted was, “It is close to the equator, near a wealthy part of the world, America, therefore you have a lot of traffic, and a lot of room for error.” (Macdonald 2017) What he meant by this was that when you put a high concentration of traffic in a relatively small area, you have the possibility for collisions and overcorrections due to human error.

The low-lying Caymans have always been a challenge to ships navigating the region. All three islands have reefs surrounding the majority of their coasts, and the islands themselves being so low; they are very difficult for approaching ships to see, especially at night. The islands are also located on several popular shipping routes used from colonial times to today. Ships leaving Central America passed the Caymans on their way to the Gulf of Mexico and the strait of Florida, allowing the Gulf Stream to carry them out to the Atlantic. Large numbers of ships and dangerous reef lined islands is a recipe for shipwrecks and the Caymans have seen more than their fair share.
In conclusion the bermuda triangle is an imaginary triangle with a deadly reputation. No explanation has been proven correct and the mystery is still to be solved. After countless events of paranomal activity being reported, it is difficult to believe that the triangle is a safe place with nothing peculiar about it, even though most researchers believe differently. The sense of mystery, publicized occurances of paranormal activity, and attention from scientists and researchers has continued to fuel interest on the matter.
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).
