Between PUERTO-RICO,

FLORIDA And The BERMUDA ISLANDS In Which In The Opinion Of Many Explorers ,

A Lot Of Unaccountable Events Happen.

A mystery starts from a scratch Nobody knows exactly how the Bermuda triangle mystery came into existence,

but it was the Flight 19 incident which propelled it to fame. Every subsequent incident added to its mysteriousness leaving the whole

world bewildered. Alongside these incidents, the mystery was also fuelled by the sensational

media and more importantly, some self-proclaimed experts. Some of the authors responsible for the infamous reputation of Bermuda

Triangle :

George X. Sand Initiated the perception that there is paranormal activity in the “Bermuda Triangle”.

Charles Berlitz Expert in the field of Paranormal Author of the 1974 book titled "The Bermuda Triangle"

Vincent Gaddis Coined the term 'Bermuda triangle' in 1964

Supernatural Theories.Here are some supernatural theories about bermuda triangle :

1. The lost city of atlantis.2. Sea monsters.3. Time warp.4. UFO’s5. The Hutchinson Effect.

The Lost city of Atlantis. The Leftover technologies of atlantis is responsible for the

sinking of ships. The Presence of crystals belonging to atlantis is also believed to

be responsible for sinking of ships. Some also believes that it is due to the Ancient curse which was

put upon atlantis for sinking ships.

Sea Monsters. People in ancient time used to believed that dragons or sea

– monsters used to live under water. This used to destroy ships coming over there.

Although this reason never gained much importance among the people & scientists alike.

Time Warp. Pilots also believed that if a plane goes to that

area, it goes into the Past or the Future. (generally to the time period of the French revolution)

UFO’S UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Objects. Many scientists think that it is a place where the aliens come to

collect humans or their technologies. The Bermuda triangle is a major place where all the aliens meet

at a place and capture human specimens and take to their planet to study.

The Hutchinson Effect. In 1979, John Hutchinson hatched a theory and conducted experiments to

prove that electromagnetic fields of different wave lengths can connect with each other, and when this happens, that you should expect the unexpected.

In experiments conducted by him, this combination of various electromagnetic fields resulted in some interesting outcomes including objects like metal and wood being able to float, water swirling in a cup, metal melting, mirrors shattering and a host of other unusual phenomenon.

However Hutchinson has suggested that if he can create these phenomena in a controlled environment, nature too can do this anywhere and at anytime.

Scientific Explanation.Here are some scientific explanations about bermuda triangle :

1. Compass variations2. Human error3. Gulf stream4. Hurricanes & rogue waves5. Methane hydrates

Compass Variation. A compass actually points to the magnetic

North, while the absolute geographic North is located at Greenland.

The angular gap between the absolute geographic North and the magnetic North is known as the compass variation.

The ‘Bermuda Triangle' is one of the two places on earth that a magnetic compass does point towards true north.

If a ship moves along a specific narrow strip within Bermuda Triangle, the magnetic North and the absolute geographic North come into the same line, i.e. the Compass Variation is ZERO

So accidents or loss can happen all over the world and not just in Bermuda Triangle, if such compass adjustments are not done.

Gulf Stream. The gulf stream is an ocean

current that originates in the gulf of mexico and then flows through the straits of florida into 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 meters.i/H)

Hurricanes and Rogue Waves. Hurricanes Are Powerful Storms,

Which Form In Tropical Waters And Have Historically Cost Thousands Of Lives Lost And Caused Billions Of Dollars In Damage.. These Storms Have In The Past Caused A Number Of Incidents Related To The Triangle.

In various oceans around the world, rogue waves have caused ships to sink and oil platforms to topple. These waves, were considered to be a Mystery and or a Myth….

Methane Hydrates. Methane lowers the density of water

the presence of methane hydrates indicates enormous eruptions of methane bubbles that would swamp a ship, and projected high into the air- take out flying airplanes, as well.

Another variant is possible. The work of aircraft altimeters is based on the measurement of air density. Because of the spike of methane they begin to show, that the airplane is rising unexpectedly. And the pilot has to lose height into the watered swiftly plummeting

Human Error. One of the most cited

explanations in official inquiries as to the loss of any aircraft or vessel is human error Whether Deliberate or Accidental, humans have been known to make Mistakes resulting in catastrophe, and losses within the Bermuda Triangle are no exception.
