The Bermuda Triangle
Author: Jagjyot Singh
Bermuda Triangle. Some call it the devil's triangle some refer to it as the limbo of the lost but most people recognize it as the Bermuda triangle. The Bermuda triangle has been mystified for decades as the paranormal patch of the ocean for ships and aircraft are prone to lose contact with the outside world to vanish forever in every few years there's a report that goes viral claiming that the scientists have finally solved the mystery of the Bermuda triangle.
The stories begin in the time of when they saw a flame of fire by Christopher Columbus crashing into the sea in the triangle during his first voyage to the new world he reported, however, it was only after when the navy cargo ship USS CYCLOPS with more than 300 people on board went missing. The area attracted public attention then in 1945 while doing routine training exercises five US navy planes and 14 men disappeared in the area.
The flight leader Lieutenant Charles Taylor was saying “everything is wrong” on the radio, even the ocean looks different, the cause was unknown found in the US investigations. They were never seen again and no wreckage was ever recovered but the term Bermuda triangle was first coined in a men's magazine by writer vincent Gaddis in 1964 in an article titled the deadly Bermuda triangle.
He cited a string of shipwrecks and aircraft disappearances offering atmospheric aberrations a magnetic disturbance as possible explanations though it was popularized internationally by a more famous personality.
A decade later Charles Berlitz Charles had a strong interest in the paranormal, he not only believed that the Atlantis was real but also that it was somehow connected to the triangle, a theory he proposed in his best-selling 1974 book the Bermuda triangle these stories captivated the public and fascinated many who lean towards believing imaginative and bizarre explanations.
Some suggested aliens capturing humans for study or even underground alien bases, some speculated about vortices that suck objects into other dimensions. Some expanded upon Berlitz's ideas and imagined that crystal energy is coming from the Atlantis below the triangle sunk ships and planes other fanciful ideas like time portals were also on the table some theories were more grounded in science if not evidence for example rogue tidal waves or oceanic flatulence in which the highly flammable methane gas is theorized to erupt from the ocean sediments which may get ignited through lightning or electrical sparks but of course methane exists in the oceans all around the world and such an incident has never been known to happen.
Some claim that geomagnetic disruptions create navigational problems but then again pilots are already trained to fly without electronic navigation in fact US navy itself debunks the idea it has been inaccurately claimed that the Bermuda triangle is one of the two places on earth at which a magnetic compass point towards the real north, normally a compass will point towards the magnetic north although in the past this compass variation did create problems to the Bermuda triangle region due to the fluctuations in the earth's magnetic field. The difference of compass variation was observed in that triangle.
This has apparently not been the case since the 19th-century people find such mysterious explanations. Exciting and fascinating and with the Bermuda triangle conjectures have been going around for decades.
Some people have even asked if there is a Bermuda triangle angle with the disappearance of the flight ms-370 of the Malaysian airlines even though the plane went missing halfway around the globe however when we take the time and dig deeper into most of the cases and not jump to conclusions, they start to look much more ordinary and the mystery starts to disappear.
