Facts & Myths About the Bermuda Triangle

Posted on July 23, 2008

The Bermuda triangle is region located in north-western Atlantic Ocean in which numerous aircraft and surface vessels have disappeared. Some people claim that these disappearances fall beyond the boundaries of acts of nature or even human error and instead attribute the disappearances to a variety of explanations including the paranormal, suspensions in the laws of physics, and even activities by extraterrestrial beings.

Numerous investigations by government agencies and the like have gone on record stating that the number of disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle is not all that different from the number of disappearances in any other proportionate area of any other ocean.

There has also been substantial documentation showing a number of incidents that have been either inaccurately reported, or embellished by authors. Despite this, believers in the Bermuda Triangle phenomenon still feel there are too many unanswered, and likely unexplainable answers for it all to be merely a coincidence.

Some of the more popular theories to explain the mysteries are the vast fields of methane hydrates in the area. These fields are capable of producing enough bubbles to shrink ships by lowering the waters density. Others claim that abnormal compass problems in the area cause navigators to lose sight of their route and destination and get lost. Some people also blame hurricanes in the area, the Gulf Stream, and freak waves. Still others link the mysteries to the lost continent of Atlantis, the Bimini Road, and even UFO’s.

    wel i had listened much about burmuda triangle. i had examined alot and i had listened a story that a huge ship was back from burmuda triangle. that ship vanished about 15 years ago and came back. there were no people in it but other conditions of the ship shows that it was a new. as it was in very good condition. another thing that i heard is that one person has visited bermuda and come out of it alive.that person lived in Iran.now he is not alive and his family told this after his death. now plz if any one know the facts about this plz post your comments because i can’t find .

    I personally think that the theory of an incredibly strong magnetic force is a likely one, but it doesn’t explain how hundreds of ships and planes pass over the Triangle area everyday. It’s not like every plane and ship that goes into that area vanishes. There have only been a couple of cases where these disappearances have happened. So if it was a strong magnetic force, then wouldn’t all metal objects that come within a certain distance of the triangle disappear? It’s for this reason that I think there has to be an alternative explanation for the mysterious cases. I wont go as far to say that it involves the supernatural…but I guess you never know.

    Hey yall. A lot of good theroies here. Magnetic field makes sense, as well as volcanic activity. With all the technology today, why is it that radar, and satalites can’t seem to find, or pin point the last known position? Also, is the weather shown to kinda trace the triangle? From what others have theorized in black holes, if they consume everything, wouldn’t there be a huge whorlpool of the ocean? Drawing everything in to it?

  4. k.vivek siddarth says:

    this may be due to the reason that the gravitational force in that area is more than the other areas in the earth surface.. that is in other areas than that of bermuda triangle gravitational force is 9.8metre/second. but due to some reasons the gravity in that area is about 12.5meter /second.. due to this high gravitational force the thi9bgs get dissapeared.. the engines of the flights that we are using for transprotation can resist only this 9.8m/s gravity so while flying over this region since it cant overcome this gravity it gets easily trapped………………..

    this is according to the “MORDEN PHYSICS”

  5. L Lawliet says:

    i think its an entrance to an unknown world and the UFO’s can fly there with no problem because they are made to go over different planets or galaxies that they are specially made to do them
    example a ship is made to travel water so it can travel to bodies of water and not on land

  6. Envy says:

    Well…..I think that people make too much of it.Ofcourse there might be different life forms out there,or maybe iven humans,but i don’t think this has anything to do with alien’s or UFO’s.I think it has to do more with gravity.But there isn’t a way to prove anything right now.Or maybe its something else,beyond all of our theories.Right now we can only stick to our ideas.

  7. sciencedude says:

    to all those that say the bermuda triangle is “some kind of fake” because planes and ship cross over it everyday….

    first of all, if the bermuda triangle is the result of a magnetic force, well obviously the magnetic force would have by now weakened to the point of dormentism. However, like the Earth goes through phases, as this happens, these magnetic forces may go through them as well. For example. If you have a magnet toy or a magnet that attaches to your refriderator, after..say, 5 years that magnet would have at least slightly worn down. If small magnets wear down until they are hardly magnets, so would the magnetic forces on the Earth, especially heavily magnetized portions of the Earth. Though some of you may say “why don’t we all float away,” or “how come the Earth’s magnetic pull hasn’t worn down to the point the Moon will fall out of orbit?” Well in fact the moon is, very slowly, (AND THIS IS PROVEN), making its way away from Earth, though of course we shouldn’t have to worry about that for the next million years or so. That is of course, if the magnetic force theory of the bermuda triangle is correct…

    science dude you make alot of sense so i am with you on this one.

  9. sammy says:

    i love reading about the bermuda . It is weird to think about what realy hapend to all the people that disaperied there.I have a report on it.

  10. SAM 5 says:

    All my friends say that the bremuda is just a scame from the goverment for money. What do you think?

  11. Caretaker says:

    Sam, how can they get money from the Bernuda triangle?

  12. Pinky says:

    .,_i want to learn more about this mystery.,

  13. Pinky says:

    .,_caretaker what do you think about the lost of those people in Bermuda triangle? Are they still alive? What happened to them? Is there any communication to those people? Is there any comments of church about this mystery?

  14. tinkerbella. says:

    I guess its always gonna be one of those unexplainable/unsolved mysteries.

  15. forthemore says:

    I think, that if thorough investigations would be conducted related to this kind of mystery, we would soon find out. As for me, I’m a hell lot more interested in this topic than you guys. its strange that maybe, there is really another dimension and that this triangle is the boundary of this world, to that world. And, of course i wouldn’t say that I’m taking out the possibility of Physics and advanced Science, but do u think the Earth can have 2 gravitational pulls when in fact, 9.8m/s2 is the constant? If so, then why aren’t the remains of those planes and ships found? We can’t say sharks ate them all, or they are buried directly beneath the ground.

    Why don’t we go there ourselves? Then investigate. Then, before we die, we should prove to the world the truth about the triangle . Then, we can die there. :) ) Haha peace out.

    This is all i can say. Thanks for reading anyway. :) ) :D

  16. Amani Haman says:

    For sure,
    Though some people think this is a hoax, I thind i’ll be the scientist to prove that it is a fact and no longer a phenomenon or theory. I also think the movie i watched, The Triangle has some truth behind. I love that it should always be there as another World Wonder.

  17. jose rodriguez says:

    If there was a way to create life on this planet then there’s a way for life to be on other planets aswell

  18. Samantha says:

    I think that it can be real.. I watch a series tonight about it. Its called Destination Truth. It was creepy.. But just cause it dont happen to every single plane or aircraft doesnt mean it isnt true!!! Just like parnormal activity it dont happen to everyone.. Like if a group of ppl went to one place not everyone will expercince the same activity some will all experince it… Its like some ppl can feel and see things and some cant… My theroy of it all is never under estimate the impossible…. I would love to see it but its to risky for me…

  19. Samantha says:

    Also I live in TN. so my time is 10:28pm on the 14th of october… so that comment was made bout five mins ago

  20. Manik says:

    i had always been fascinated about UFO’S AND USO. and this story adds fuels to my FASCINATION NICE ONE!!!
    SAMANTHA WHAT DO U MEAN BY U LIVE IN TN WHAT IT’S FULL NAME?
    COZ I LIVE IN INDIA UR NAME SEEMS TO BE INDIAN

  21. hithin says:

    wellllllllllllllll i think its all about magnetism and nothing abt ghosts or other spiritual activities……………….but rmbr onethng ghosts do occur…………..i experienced lot of it from my village……………………………..

  22. sam rose says:

    thanks about this information
    and i dont think its gost
    mybe its the magnitic force
    thanks

  23. RACHEL says:

    I WONDER HOW THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS WHO GOT LOST IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE ARE BEING AFFECTED.

  24. Bob says:

    whats the gravitational force though?

  25. daniel says:

    I don’t beleive in that
