B-Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the western part of the Atlantic Ocean, which is said to be a mysterious place where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared. The triangle's three vertices are in Miami, Florida peninsula; in San Juan, Puerto Rico; and in the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda , with the total area of 3,900,000 km²

There are many disappearings that have happened in the triangle but a contrary thing is it that it is one of the most heavily traveled shipping routes in the world, with ships passing through it daily. Cruise ships are also a common thing over there, and aircraft regularly go back and forth between Florida and the islands. It is also a heavily flown route for commercial and private aircraft heading towards Florida, the Caribbean, and South America from North America.   

Vincent Gaddis was the first person to really give the triangle the first boundaries . He published it in Argosy a magazine in 1964. But till now the name is not recognized by the US Board on Geographic Names and according to the US Navy, the triangle does not exist.

 According to the US Navy, the triangle does not exist, and the name is not recognized by the US Board on Geographic Names. Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were spurious, inaccurately reported, or embellished by later authors.

Paranormal explanations

There are a number of supernatural concepts to explain the events.

One explanation was that the leftover technology from the mythical lost continent of Atlantis has been invoked and that is the one sucking selective people into it.

The other one is that the prescence of UFOs. This idea was used by Steven Spielberg for his science fiction film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which features the lost Flight 19 aircrews as alien abductees.

Natural explanations

Compass variations

It is even said that there is a magnetic field in the area and could make the compasses fail and even pull some metallic objects (ships , aircrafts) into the sea.

Gulf Stream

The Gulf Stream is a major surface current, primarily driven by thermohaline circulation that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and then flows through the Straits of Floridainto the North Atlantic. In essence, it is a river within an ocean, and, like a river, it can and does carry floating objects. It has a surface velocity of up to about 2.5 metres per second (5.6 mi/h). A small plane making a water landing or a boat having engine trouble can be carried away from its reported position by the current.

Violent weather

Tropical cyclones are powerful storms, which form in tropical waters and have historically cost thousands of lives lost and caused billions of dollars in damage. The sinking of Francisco de Bobadilla's Spanish fleet in 1502 was the first recorded instance of a destructive hurricane. These storms have in the past caused a number of incidents related to the Triangle.

Methane hydrates

An explanation for some of the disappearances has focused on the presence of large fields of methane hydrates (a form of natural gas) on the continental shelves. Laboratory experiments carried out in Australia have proven that bubbles can, indeed, sink a scale model ship by decreasing the density of the water .
