The Bermuda Triangle is still one of the biggest
unsolved mysteries in the world. The Bermuda
Triangle is a large part of ocean in the North
Atlantic that has been the source of many plain- and
boat disappearances. A number of explanations have
been suggested over the years ranging from; time
warps, extreme weather to alien abductions. There is
substantial evidence to show that many of the
disappearances have been exaggerated, but even if
those were excluded from the total count, the odds
of vanishing into thin air are higher in the Bermuda
Triangle.
More than 1000 ships and planes have disappeared
in the triangle area over the past five centuries and
continue to do so. And all these happen when
apparently there are no human errors, equipment
failures or even natural disasters. Strangely, the
ships and aircraft just vanish when everything
seems to be okay. Many believe that Devil is at play
here and therefore call the area also as Devil's
Triangle.
There are many stories and myths created through
sheer imagination of writers who have used them
rampantly to draw publicity to their books. In
many cases, the facts got blurred.
Well, I have been digging deep into the incidents,
and analyzing the facts and evidences to bring out
the truth. This section is an account of those
findings.
By the simplest of all definitions, Bermuda Triangle
is located off the South-Eastern coast of the United
States and in the Atlantic Ocean. The three corners
of the triangle are: Miami (Florida); San Juan
(Puerto Rico); and Bermuda (the north-Atlantic
island).
