I saw the documentary about the Triangle, and the theory was Methane Gas Eruptions from the sea bed and ion distrubances from the gas dispersing into the air were to blame.
But, they also may have solved the famous missing 'Flight 19.
The programme said the jets were doing a routine task. The task was to fly to the first set of islands, then turn left, then left again and back to base.
What the programme said may have happened was that the lead pilot got what we now call 'spacial disorientation' and basically had a controled breakdown in his cockpit after overshooting the first rendezvous, getting lost and being intimidated by the awful weather conditions that day.
He was the squadron leader, and the attack happened after the squadron overshot past the normal point they turn off at. The weather was awful and the islands not visible. So, thinking that they had not reached the 1st islands, they kept flying until they saw islands. They eventually found some islands, so they turned left.. unknown to them they were nowhere where they planned.
The Lead Pilot was concerned when observing the length of the islands, which seemed longer than the ones they should have been on. So, the pilot tryed to figure out where his squadron were. This is were the attack happened.. the pilot, now under extreme stress, estimated his squadron had flown directly back west to where they came.. over the Florida Keys and were flying west over the 'Gulf of Mexico'. This pilot was experienced, as this error was huge. He genuinely thought he was flying over the Gulf of Mexico, which is the other side of the US.
When they came to the end of the Islands, they were due to turn west and go home. In fact, by luck, they had flown on a course to Fort Lauderdale, and looked like they would be back at base for sure. But.. then the Pilot took the unfortunate step of deciding to plot a course East.. which in reality led them 180* and back on course towards Europe. In the pilots mind (now with full spacial dis-orientation in tow), he turned East as if he was in the Gulf, so he would see the Florida Keys.
This therefore took the squadron miles out to sea and fuel was running out fast. They never saw solid land again, and all 5 planes took a trip into the drink.
However, they did find 5 planes far from the Flight 19 'crash site', all clustered together, but they eventually identified all as not the missing Flight 19. But, under one of the lost planes they traced it by a serial number on its tailfin. In all other plane wrecks they found, curiously all 4 other tailfins had been destroyed or where missing. By coincidence it was found that the 5 planes were 5 seperate crashes, all non related and at different times. The fact some of the wrecks were almost intact, is strange.. and not to see 1 obvious intact tailfin, is bizarre.
They explained a few missing boats and planes, boats possibly due to 'Methane Gas Eruptions' caused by vessels creating a pressure change in that space of ocean. The bubbles burst up engulfing the hull, causing zero bouyancy and the ship sinks without trace. They even did a practical experiment, and sank a speedboat at the second go with a huge matrix of pipes pumping hydrogen bubbles being pumped out of holes located in them. The boat would not sink in the centre of the gas eruption, but when they moved the boat slightly off centre, the boat sank so fast they didnt have much time to see it. This is proof that the theory is correct, and has probably accounted for a fair few ships.
The problem with this theory is it does not explain missing aircraft. The only possible explanation they say is that an electrical charge from the result of the gas dispersing into the air causing some kind of 'airborne particle disturbance'. The aircrafts using combustion engines basically will be very badly dis abledindeed if it got close to the gas in the air. Hence, a plane could easily down in the drink due to this.
This is my favourite theory, but as i mentioned earlier, does not explain credible evidence for missing aircraft.
To solve this once and for all, they should see if they can fly a unpiloted craft into the 'Triangle Hotspots'. Ok, we could lose a few expensive craft, but with video cameras and special instruments monitoring what is happening on board, hopefully we would see exactly why and how they disappear. Whether they just sink, vanish or whatever..
