This paranormal mystery 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 triangle has been known to take place just outside and out into the Sargasso Sea toward the east. These paranormal waters have been a mystery at least(and probably) as long as ships have sailed through it. Christopher Columbus wrote about strange phenomena he witnessed as he sailed through the triangle in 1492 on the Santa Maria. Flight 19, which consisted of five U.S. Navy bombers vanished without a trace in the Bermuda 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.
All kinds of paranormal activities take place in this triangle 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, green, glowing fog has also been witnessed. Strange, magnetic forces of unknown origin seem to be dragging airplanes toward the paranormal waters. What's even more unusual is that the disappearances of ships and planes take place in decent weather conditions.
The Bermuda Triangleis not always a danger to fly or sail through. Many planes and boats of all shapes and sizes have traveled through the mystical area, at all times of the day without running into any paranormal activity, UFOs, or anything that would pose as a threat. The mystical waters are unpredictable and strike without warning. No one knows how, or what triggers the paranormal activity of the Bermuda Triangle.
Foolish skeptics claim 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. Some believe this paranormal area is a gateway to an unknown dimension. Due to so many UFO sightings seen in the paranormal triangle, It is believed by many that this mystery is caused by alien beings and are taking the people themselves. Other theories for the phenomena are black holes sucking ships and planes into them, and that parts of the mysterious 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.
The Bermuda Triangle is not the only mysterious waters pm the map where ships and planes disappear. In the China Sea, southeast of Japans coast, there has been a lot of the same paranormal events Taking place. This mysterious area is called the "Devil's Sea". The "Devil's Sea" became known as a paranormal mystery when nine freighters disappeared in a five year span(1950-1954). The exact location of these paranormal waters is uncertain because there are so many different locations written through the years on the subject, without facts to back them up. However, the disappearances of the nine ships took place between Japans coast and Miyake Island.
The Bermuda Triangle has taken over 1,000 people, never to be seen again. Despite all the scientists, private parties, biologists, and other people that have studied and researched this area, it continues to be a mystery and a place of paranormal activity. Other names for the Bermuda Triangle are "the Twilight Zone", "Port of Missing Ships", "the Devil's Triangle", "Hoodoo Sea", "Triangle of Death", and "Limbo of the Lost".

Here are just a few of the planes and ships and crews that have vanished in the mysterious Bermuda Triangle.

1840-Rosalie- This big French ship was discovered in the triangle while it was sailing to Havana from Europe. All the sails were set, and the cargo was in the ship but the entire crew was missing.

1947-Superfort- This U.S. Army C-54 vanished about 100 miles from Bermuda.

1948-Star Tiger- This IV airliner, after flying from the Azores islands, never reached it's destination of Bermuda. The Pilot radioed that weather was great and that he should be there in time but than vanished without a trace.

1949-Star Ariel- This other Tudor IV airliner vanished somewhere in between Jamaica and Bermuda.

1956- This B-25 bomber vanished around southeast Florida.

1963- Marine Sulphur Queen- This cargo ship left the port of Beaumont, Texas but then vanished before it reached its destination of Norfolk, Virginia.

1967-Witchcraft- This small cabin cruiser vanished completely after only traveling about a mile from shore. The boats propeller hit something underwater and called the Coast Guard for help but when the rescue boat arrived in the location given, the Witchcraft was gone.

1971- Luky Edur- This fishing boat was discovered drifting in the Atlantic Ocean with no passengers on board around New Jerseys Southern Coast.

The Bermuda Triangle (a.k.a. the Devil's Triangle) is a triangular area inthe Atlantic Ocean bounded roughly at its points by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Legend has it that many people, ships and planes have mysteriously vanished in this area. How many have mysteriously disappeared depends on who is doing the locating and the counting. The size of the triangle varies from 500,000 square miles to three times that size, depending on the imagination of the author. (Some include the Azores, the Gulf of Mexico, and the West Indies in the "triangle.") Some trace the mystery back to the time of Columbus. Even so, estimates range from about 200 to no more than 1,000 incidents in the past 500 years. Howard Rosenberg claims that in 1973 the U.S. Coast Guard answered more than 8,000 distress calls in the area and that more than 50 ships and 20 planes have gone down in the Bermuda Triangle within the last century.

Many theories have been given to explain the extraordinary mystery of these missing ships and planes. Evil extraterrestrials, residue crystals from Atlantis, evil humans with anti-gravity devices or other weird technologies, and vile vortices from the fourth dimension are favorites among fantasy writers. Strange magnetic fields and oceanic flatulence (methane gas from the bottom of the ocean) are favorites among the technically-minded. Weather (thunderstorms, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, high waves, currents, etc.) bad luck, pirates, explosive cargoes, incompetent navigators, and other natural and human causes are favorites among skeptical investigators.

There are some skeptics who argue that the facts do not support the legend, that there is no mystery to be solved, and nothing that needs explaining.The number of wrecks in this area is not extraordinary, given its size, location and the amount of traffic it receives. Many of the ships and planes that have been identified as having disappeared mysteriously in the Bermuda Triangle were not in the Bermuda Triangle at all. Investigations to date have not produced scientific evidence of any unusual phenomena involved in the disappearances. Thus, any explanation, including so-called scientific ones in terms of methane gas being released from the ocean floor, magnetic disturbances, etc., are not needed. The real mystery is how the Bermuda Triangle became a mystery at all.

The modern legend of the Bermuda Triangle began soon after five Navy planes [Flight 19] vanished on a training mission during a severe storm in 1945. The most logical theory as to why they vanished is that lead pilot Lt. Charles Taylor’s compass failed. The trainees' planes were not equipped with working navigational instruments. The group was disoriented and simply, though tragically, ran out of fuel. No mysterious forces were likely to have been involved other than the mysterious force of gravity on planes with no fuel. It is true that one of the rescue planes blew up shortly after take-off, but this was likely due to a faulty gas tank rather than to any mysterious forces.

Over the years there have been dozens of articles, books, and television programs promoting the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. In his study of this material, Larry Kusche found that few did any investigation into the mystery. Rather, they passed on the speculations of their predecessors as if they were passing on the mantle of truth. Of the many uncritical accounts of the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, perhaps no one has done more to create this myth than Charles Berlitz, who had a bestseller on the subject in 1974. After examining the 400+ page official report of the Navy Board of Investigation of the disappearance of the Navy planes in 1945, Kusche found that the Board wasn't baffled at all by the incident and did not mention alleged radio transmissions cited by Berlitz in his book. According to Kusche, what isn't misinterpreted by Berlitz is fabricated. Kusche writes: "If Berlitz were to report that a boat were red, the chance of it being some other color is almost a certainty." (Berlitz, by the way, did not invent the name; that was done by Vincent Gaddis in "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle," which appeared in the February, 1964, issue of Argosy, a magazine devoted to fiction.)

In short, the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle became a mystery by a kind of communal reinforcement among uncritical authors and a willing mass media to uncritically pass on the speculation that something mysterious is going on in the Atlantic.

itsnotoutthere!
Do you, yourself, have a mind that you can think for yourself and make your own conclusions, instead of copying and pasting every skeptics views. Do you have your own thoughts?

Now here are my thoughts
The bermuda triangle has been a mystery to most people for a very long time. Me, personly, i believe its natural phenomona. Its true that the weather in that area can be at times brutal, and can can from one hour to the next. Ufos have been seen there, but ufos have been seen from all over the world, so thats not really to do with the bermuda triangle. I know that scientists have studied the area, not for the supernatural aspect, but for the purpose of understanding what goes on there. Thats pretty much it.

The Bermuda Triangle is nothing paranormal. The same amount of 'mysterious' disappearances and accidents happen all over the world. A lot of the disappearances claimed to be caused by the Bermuda Triangle have either been solved, have been blown out of proportion, or didn't even happen near the Bermuda Triangle at all.

I didn't have to do a search on the Internet to know this, because I read. Please, ElementalDraco218, do a little research before you claim anything. A google search on the Bermuda Triangle will of course pull up all kinds of crazy websites promoting mystery and paranormality for the Bermuda Triangle, either because of a desire to believe, or for MONEY. Doing a search as to why the Bermuda Triangle is NOT supernatural might pull up more reputable sites.

The threads started by you seem to be lacking any kind of evidence, and you clearly do not do any kind of background informational search. It's just taking away from your credibility. Consider this for your own sake.

Other, clear-minded replies take you to task for your gullibility so I'll just add that most, if not all, of the above "disappearances" have a prosaic explanation. Documentaries have been produced to show that some pockets of certain natural gases are released and if a ship is above at that moment, the ship's buyoancy is removed and it sinks like a rock. Violent storms will play havoc with a heavy, laden ship and either swamp it or break it up. Airplanes have a habit of falling out of the sky for one reason or another, whether mechanical or pilot error. Ships that are found with the crew can be the result of a rampant disease, or a vampire! dontgetit.gif

Many documentaries investigating "normal" plane crashes show that a simple mistake by a crew member can result in a crash with 100% fatalities. For example on one of those documentaries: a ground crew put a plane through a ground investigation and the crew member that was in the cockpit forgot to return a switch to its normal position. You guessed it, it crashed and killed everyone aboard. IF this plane had crashed while flying through the Bermuda (loose) "triangle" we would have never heard the end of it from "believers."

The thing is the Bermuda triangle isnt alone, anyone heard about the dragons triangle near japan.
It has had much more UFO/USO sightings then the bermuda triangle. but most importantley most of the sightings have been reported by high ranking Navy/military officers.

You're correct, but there are also many more 'triangles' which is one of the actual original theories. I can't remember exactly who it should be 'credited' to, but I was able to find the map of where all the so-called triangles are. Then, supposedly you could also align all the triangles up and it means something geometrically and supernaturally. The thing is though, that with that many triangles all over the world, one could take any boating or flying mishap, and then attribute it to any of the 'triangles.'

See?

It is fun to read about the mysteries of the triangles, but the truth is, most of the 'mysteries' involved are not really mysterious.

oh i forgot to add the res. my bad.
i believe the only thing that could posably make over 100 people disapear of off of boats and planes is a force not know to this earth. i beleive that USO's are what create this odd forcefield that makes hundreds of people disapear off the fce of the earth.

i read a book that said Christopher Colubis was on his boat and he saw (in the middle of the night) a fire ball floating in mid air. and then 2 seconds later if plunged into the ocean. now he is not the only one who saw this. there have been multiple accounts saying that there was a giant fireball suspended in mid air and about 2 seconds later it plunged into the ocean. also there was a man who said that him and his crew saw an abandoned ship and they realised it was one of the ships reported missing. so they got on board to find that everyone on the boat was gone. they found a jearnal that the captin of the ship who kept writing about weird things that have happend on the ship. 1 of the things that happend was he saw the same fireball. when the guys got off the ship then disapeared right before their eyes. and so did the book they took of the ship. there has got to be some connection between the 2. don't you think?

Yes, ElementalDraco218, there may have been stories or whatever about balls of fire and disappearing captain's logs, but where do you draw the line between myth and fact?

I hope you are very young, because your level of gullibility should lower with experience. I know it is fun to believe in some of these things, but once you have done the research, you start to realize that a lot of it is just that-fun. No facts or real proof.

You came to a great place if you want to learn the truth about some unexplained mysteries. But be prepared to be open minded enough to learn things that will prove the fun theories wrong.

I am not degrading your intelligence at all, by the way. I am just saying to try and learn what to believe and what to write off as fantasy.
