The Bermuda Triangle is
located in the Atlantic Ocean and gets its' name
because it lies between Miami, Florida, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and of
course Bermuda. The Triangle is about 140,000 square miles in size. The phenomena
of the Bermuda Triangle has been known to take place
just outside and out into the Sargasso Sea toward the east. These supposed
paranormal
waters have been a mystery as
long as ships have sailed through it. Christopher Columbus
wrote about strange phenomena he witnessed as
he sailed through the area in 1492 while on the Santa
Maria. Flight 19, which consisted of five U.S. Navy bombers vanished without a trace in the Triangle along with a rescue plane on December 5, 1945.
This mystery seems to be the foundation of the triangles credibility
as an area of paranormal phenomena.
Many types of paranormal activities take place in these waters of mystery. Planes loose power and
become uncontrollable, compasses spin wildly, many ships and planes have
disappeared completely, never to be seen again. The
sky has been known to glow white and thick,also a green glowing fog has
been witnessed. Strange, magnetic forces of an unknown
origin seem to be dragging airplanes towards these paranormal waters.
What's
even more unusual is that the disappearances of ships
and planes has taken place even in decent weather conditions.
What's odd is that it appears that these waters are not always a danger.
The Triangle seems to be
unpredictable and will strike without warning. No one knows
how,why or what triggers the paranormal activity in the Bermuda Triangle.
Skeptics
have claimed that ships and planes vanishing completely is
caused by poor weather conditions, even though most of the time
disappearances happen in good weather. There is also a
theory of an underwater volcano that brings down ships and planes by
suction. Others believe this paranormal area is a doorway to an unknown dimension.Some theorize that the phenomena takes place due to black
holes sucking ships and planes into them, and that parts of the
area break the laws of gravity, electricity, and
magnetism. There is also a theory of Atlantians from the sunken
city of Atlantis taking the ships and planes down.
As you can see there are many theories surrounding the Bermuda Triangle
Despite all the scientists,
private parties, biologists, and other people that have studied
and researched this area, it continues to be a mystery.
