Bermuda Triangle

Bermuda triangle

The Bermuda triangle is a stretch over the Atlantic Ocean. Bordered by Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, the location became famous on account of the strange disappearances of ships, as well as aircrafts in the area. A number of supernatural explanations have been put forward in regard to the mysterious disappearances in this area.

However, many probable logical explanations for the missing vessels include hurricanes, earthquakes, as well as magnetic fields, which render navigation devices worthless. But, most people would not like to accept such boring explanations and would instead opt for more interesting options like alien abduction, or giant squids or getting sucked into another dimension. The following is a list of supernatural theories, which have been quite popular:

Presence of a time warp is one of the most popular theories of all times. With many people claiming to be lost in the time warp while going through the region; this theory was able to garner strength.

Another popular theory is that of alien abductions. According to it, the Bermuda Triangle is a collecting station where aliens take our people, ships, planes and other objects back to their planet to study.

Sea monsters are another popular theory, which has been quite popular. In fact, presence of sea monsters have been perhaps the most widely believed explanations for the strange disappearances, especially the earlier times, when the existence of sea monsters were widely believed to be true.

Another explanation for this, has been said to be death Rays from Atlantis. Those who believe in this explanation, state the presence of magic crystals, left from the time of Atlantis, deep down in the sea. It is said that rays from these crystals are responsible for the strange sinking of the ships. However, several underwater expeditions have revealed places under the ocean that look man-made, but no such crystals were found. In fact no real proof that Atlantis existed, was even found.

Apart from the above supernatural explanations, several natural explanations are also there. These include bad weather, sea piracy, giant whirlpools, presence of live bombs in the past, along with magnetic fields and methane gas formation. As it is, among all these theories, the theory in regard to methane gas formation appears to be quite believable. As it is, formation of methane can lower the density of water, leading to the sinking of ships. Similarly, Methane can cut out an aircraft engine with very little levels of it in the atmosphere, leading to aircraft crashes.

This mysterious place accounts fro more than 1500 disappearances, which include ships, boats, as well as aircrafts. The term “Bermuda Triangle” was first coined by a famous magazine in 1964. The mystery behind these disappearances has continued. As it is, several explanations have come up since the discovery of the dangers posed by these waters. These explanations range from supernormal phenomenon like giant squids, sea monsters, time warp, death rays from Atlantis, as well as alien abduction.

However, with the passage of time, fewer and fewer people now believe it to be a handiwork of any sea monster. Alien abduction however continues to be a widely believed phenomenon, along with presence of a time warp. However, some people have also come up with some scientific explanations as well. The following are some of the possible explanations for this strange phenomenon:

One of the scientific explanations states that, in the 1940s, navigating a plane involved relying completely on a magnetic compass to guide them. So, pilots had to be guided by their compass as they estimated how the wind would influence their planned flight path, in order to remain on the right track.

Another explanation revolves around a highly unpredictable weather. Now, since the island is situated in the Atlantic Ocean, it has an extremely unpredictable weather. So, it gets a weather, which is influenced by several factors and can change with lightening speed. That means that one moment you have a brilliant weather, whereas the other moment, you may be faced with an extremely perilous weather.

Also, another factor, can that be of hurricanes, which are very common in the Bermuda Triangle area. In this region, they generally originate from the African coast and flourish with the moisture of the warm, tropical waters, leading to creation of several destructive hurricanes. Along with it, you also have an additional peril in the form of thunderstorms. Several ship wrecks were caused due to the thunderstorms in the region.

Apart from these, another factor, which holds much strength, is the formation of methane in the sea. As it is, formation of methane can lower the density of water, leading to the sinking of ships. Similarly, Methane can cut out an aircraft engine with very little levels of it in the atmosphere, leading to aircraft crashes.
