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.

    I think its amazing !!!

  2. Peter says:

    since it has the exact smae amount of lost things in it than the rest of the world, we know 100% that the mysteries are fully based in the logical answers we know to happen… rogue waves because it is not that deep, Magnectic effects and weather conditions. not one single reason to think anything other and in fact the search for lost planes and ships will turn up all lost mysteries and end once and for all the lies and stories that simply are to spook people and sell books that should not be sold.

    im very interested in all the stuff like that i would love to learn more…i think its cool

  4. lisa l sipes says:

    i think the bremuta tryangle is a portal to the underworld where the devel and deamons live stay away guys

    Hii.

    Wow, ive always thought this kinda stuff was amazing.
    But, my father, uncle, 3 of my best friends and I were talking about this not too long ago. And my friend had mentioned something about it that made sense, but there is no telling if it at all exists. But he had said he watch something that got him thinking. He told me that the show he was watching was telling about time warp things. And that maybe that is what the Bermuda Triangle is.
    At first we thought whatever. But then after a few minutes we thought about it.
    I mean, where are the people that disappeared? If they dont come back dead or alive…then what happened to them? And the planes, ships, boats, etc.?
    Maybe it could be. But who knows. I just thought i would mention that.

    Have a nice day. :)

  6. John says:

    Well, my friend and I discussedsed this triangle a week ago and we came up with answer that makes the most sense:
    the triangle could be a gate to another dimension. I know it sounds crazy but keep reading. Everything has a positive value, like you and me, we are alive, thus we are positive. Recalling the cases that ships are found but all their crew went missing. The positive values might just had an encounter with their negative values. like +1 + (-1). the answer to that is 0. the crew disappeared because they met their negative values in Bermuda. and where are these negative values come from??? another dimension ( or world) perhaps? If they could come in, there must be a hole or something that allows them to, that is, Bermuda. Remember cases like a person went missing and reappeared years later with no memories in that time gap? I thought it could be some sort of “virus” that disrupted the laws of physics. Remember that your math teacher told you that a value in a square root cannot be negative? and your physics teacher reminded you that the top speed in the universe is 186 mps? well, there is a formula of calculating the relationship between speed and time, that as a object move faster and faster, the actual time gets slowed down. But once the object speed pass the speed of light, the answer becomes unknown, cannot be solved. so i thought time would acutally go back…
    well i dont wanna write anything anymore cuz im tired of typing..

  7. horsedance says:

    Hey,jus wanna say that,as far back as I can remember I,ve always been into the paranormal and unexplained,ghosts.As for this bermuda triangle story,this has always facinated me.Yes I agree to.There is something really weird and suspenseful about this area.I too think there is some kind of portal of some kind there.U.F.O,s are involved too, u bet,at least to my opinon.I to look at the how ,why,where and when.Very good stuff horsedance

  8. Black*Beauty says:

    I think The Bermuda Triangle is the key to time travel. i think we’d solve many of the world’s mysteries with further research of The Bermuda Triangle. There are too many unsolved incidents for it to be from natural causes, we have alot to learn in this world.

  9. ian says:

    the first time I heard about this kind of thing…
    I just get interested to know more about bermuda triangle
    my Biology teacher told us that the triangle is a spot which has very hard pull of gravity… that’s why ships and aircrafts disappears in that spot… I don’t know what exactly what he calls that kind of pull but I think it’s gravity….

  10. Javier says:

    i herd that the triangle is home to a smooth black creture with no eyes that moves around all the time.

  11. joe says:

    this stuff is cool…………

  12. mystery! says:

    this bermuda triangle mystery is really cool
    but i stiill don’t nw wat story to believe!

  13. darin says:

    Hi people this darin it is intersting 2 know abt the tryangle but i think y do reseracher go ahead and find out wat is realy behind the tryangle n wat is dat makes everything vaniesh… and all the people above try 2 get more info & post them on ur coments… thank u

  14. !! says:

    i think that the bermuta triangle is real. why would people lia about that…well i guess they do have good reason to lie. but if we dont think its real why dont we just go test that. i meen you wont have a problem if you dont htink its real.

  15. Jackie says:

    I think that the Bermuda Triangle is just a strong magnetic force.
    Why I think this is because, what are ships and planes made of? Metal.
    What does a magnet attract? Metal. Ponder that idea for a minuite. It makes alot of sense. I believe the missing ships and planes are at the bottom of the ocean under the Triangle. Where the magnetic force is the strongest. That explains the compass and the dissapparences. Now for the time differences.
    With all the magnetic forces, it could stop a clock. And for the people who can’t remember anything, the magnetic force is so strong that it can play games with your mind. Basically what I’m trying to say is that, when you were in there, the gravity pulled on your brain so hard, it couldn’t work the right way. It was cutting off blood circulation and oxgen to the blood, and brain.

    Case Solved

    =) And by the way people I’m 15 and know this much information.

  16. keia kelly says:

    is the whole thing truth? i mean with the triangle, its scary how people can just dissapear. i heard that that UFOs have something to do with it, can u believe that. bye people who want to see or travel there are stupid and crazy.

  17. Anonymous says:

    i think that maybe we werent ment to know…..I think that we should just live the life we were given and not worry about stuf like this we were put here to have a fulfilling life not one full of fear and worry. Yea the bermuda triangle is scary and we should avoid it but i dont think people should waste their time on stuff like that

  18. angelblueeyes says:

    i have to agree with jackie, that makes more sense than any of the other crazy comments on here

  19. scientist dude says:

    i think, as i know much about parralel universes, and how its possible that someday we might have the ability to burn our way into them though for now the ability is beyond us. The newest theory of the universe is that it is a membrane consisting of milions of different universes constantly moving, expandnig etc. And during certain occurences the universes will connect, creating something of a wormhole to a whole new universe. It seems probable that this theory might provide a reasonable explanation for the disappearances in the bermuda triangle. After research by scientists, they found bubbles constantly rising under the water of the triangle. Could this mean something? they do believe these bubbles could cause ships to sink….but what of the planes? What if, during the storms of this area, a portal to a parralel universe is opening up? Or, perhaps the storm is the portal….we may never know, or for at least a long time

  20. scientist dude says:

    jackie has good reasoning, but they’ve checked the bottom of the bermuda triangle….all a bunch of rising bubbles and stuff….unless of course there was volcanic activity since the wrecks and covered up evidence which is quite probable….

  21. scientist dude says:

    john i must admit has excellent reason…sounds like hes done some personal research of his mind. According to the membrane theory, there are parralel universes, though it sounds corny. However the best theory was anti-matter in my opinion, the complete oposite of matter. If we touched the anti-matter of ourselves, we would be anhialated in an explosion equivalent to that of a nuclear explosion. I do believe, like jackie said, that there is a powerful magnetic force at work over or under the triangle. However ships have successfully gone through, and there is little current controversy or fear over the matter of the bermuda triangle. Yes, magnets can attract metal, and a magnet as big and strong as one the size of the bermuda triangle can cause inbalances between the magnetic force of gravity, causing something to happen, coming back to the theory of parralel universes. So basically both of you, jackie and john can easily be correct…both of you combined that is.

  22. scientist dude says:

    okay, one thing for sure is that the triangle is not a portal to the underworld, cuz the underworld is a dimension i believe we cannot reach. Nor do i think there are monsters in the triangle, no offense to anyone

  23. Alpha says:

    Personally, I think there was a controlled formation of a wormhole in that region, conducted by intelligent extraterrestrials to enable easier access to earth.

    A wormhole is a hypothetical topological structure pertaining to space and time, with several theories suggesting the existence of wormholes. Since the science behind the formation of wormholes are indefinite (with theories being derived from particle physics, quantum theory, general relativity, etc) there are different models/types of wormholes.

    I’m not sure if this is an accepted model… but if there was a concentration of matter in that region, eventually undergoing gravitational pressure/condensation then a black hole would eventually form. If a singularity and event horizon, after the formation of the black hole, split into 2 in the rotating black hole then there is the possibility of a path forming between the split singularities This could essentially be a worm hole right?

    The remnants of concentrated matter may also be having an influence on the gravity and further more the time surrounding the area, resulting in fluctuations and other chaotic disarray. This notion could be related to some of the claims made by people in flight vessels, i.e. flight 19 who claimed to have been in a different time.

    This is just a theory…anyway i was wondering what you guys reckon about it?

  24. jennifer hallo says:

    i think this is quite cool and ill like to learn more about the bermuda triangle

  25. ill love to learn more abot this issue it is very interestiing and it is alot of history to learn

  26. sciencedude says:

    well the wormhole theory submitted by alpha is i would say quite believeable. there are such things as white holes, which is where spare matter is spewed out of what came into a black hole. it sounds stupid but its true. however, a black hole from concentrated matter is a little farfetched, though if somehow there was a concentration of both matter and anti-matter, (anti-matter is the complete opposite of matter. when matter meets its anti-matter opposite, they destroy themselves in an explosion which could easily have happened in the past, creating a wormhole or black-hole). Like i said above, it might be possible to burn a hole in the universe to create access to a parralel universe in the form of a wormhole or black hole. I dont necessarily think a black hole could provide access to another universe, because black holes take in everything, including light, so if you were to fall into one, just saying, you would be stretched apart, and burnt up by the light the black hole has taken in. Wormholes however are a different story. no one is sure how they are triggered but they are meant to be traveled through

  27. sciencedude says:

    in response to the anonymous person saying we werent meant to know…i think the reason we SHOULD strive to learn more about the bermuda triangle because humans are curious. WIthout curiosity…saying if we kept to ourselves and our own lives there would be no democracy, we would have never been on the moon, and generally we wouldnt know anything about space, the ocean or ourselves. I know you mean by keeping to ourselves and not scaring ourselves, but without fear there is no conquering of this fear, also meaning there would be no joy. If we knew nothing of the world around us, there would be no answers to the billions of questions in our heads. However i see your reasoning by saying this. Our lives are meant to be lived to the fullest. Life is like a test. But curiosity is an important part of our lives

  28. scientist dude says:

    okay, i know a lot about the bermuda triangle from research…lots of it, and if anyone wants to ask any questions to me, ill do my best to answer. I have plenty of my own theories as well.
    Okay, so i talked about parralel universes up above, and yes it is all true. the membrane theory is the latest theory of the universe…and if you dont know what a membrane is..well basically its simply a constantly moving wall…a wall containing an endless universe in this case. The membranes are constantly moving and expanding, and collide to create wormholes. Somehow i think the bermuda triangle is related to some kind of wormhole. there are bubbles constantly rising from the ocean floor beneath the bermuda triangle….which means either it could be boiling down there. I said before it could be possible to burn our way into another parralel universe. I think it could be possible there was once volcanic activity in this area, something similar to this at least.

  29. Heather says:

    i think its a black hole because if it wernt then how would it be that planes and ships go missing and no one can find them this is my theary but there are many others but many of then dont make and sence

  30. lauren says:

    Hmm, My famly and I thinkt he bermuda triangle has to do with aliens. I dont know much about the triangle but it seems cool, but also dangerous and scary!

  31. Harold says:

    Has anyone heard of the theory that the Earth actually has polar shifts? I believe the magnetic forces are the culprit and caused by the fact the area was once either the north or south pole (which would also explain the dragons triangle on the opposite end of the Earth).

  32. Mary Lara Shane Gaspar says:

    I think that this fact is true about the BERMUDA TRIANGLE because many facts in this story is in the great book of knowledge made by my best friend’s grandfather who recently died last year November1,2008, 12:00 in the recordings of the hospital. So whoever beleives about this story please continue to believe it.

  33. Mihika Mohta says:

    I THINK THERE IS A BLACK HOLE OVER THERE, BUT WHATEVER IT IS, ITS SUPER AWESOME!

  34. Mallika says:

    I do not know much about the BERMUDA TRIANGLE but as the others have said and there REALLY is a PARALLEL UNIVERERSE I would surely like to go there.

  35. tyra says:

    I would love to go to the bermuda triangle and research on my own…the world is too smart for me…im not gonna keep up!>-<

  36. voodoochile says:

    I heard, I don’t know if it’s true but the Bermuda Triangle was the area where thousands of slaves drowned and their spirits take only the living things. I know there have been stories where they find the ships with not a human person on board. Has anybody else heard this?

  37. Gourav says:

    Hey Friends, I Think Bermunda Triangle have a powerfull Magnetic force. If any wady want to know about the bermunda plz go for a website not by Ship or plane.
    If someone really intreasted about by which they attract that.
    so i give some idea by which, If can posible any one make a boat and this boad made by bambo and water profe camera attached by that and this boat attached to some mechanism by which they go to the bermunda triange…

  38. Gourav says:

    i am engineer but at that time i dont have a money to research the bermuda triangle.
    But I have many idea by which everyone know the fact of that type of dangerous and scary places.

  39. amw says:

    i think that it is real but something about it makes it not. Where would all of those missing things go. maybe it is just a real big myth…

  40. shane says:

    i think you all are idiots if you think its the key to another demension or world or you meet your negatives. it is just a case of not getting a radio call on a storm going through the area. or the current of the area that will force your boat to go more north-east then east if thats the direction you are traveling. so please take some time to research the information then go post up your opinions on an internet site. or you can go try it for yourself go travel through the bermuda triangle and see what happens. ( i have gone through the bermuda triangle on a cruise ship to bermuda and im still here….

  41. yvette says:

    i think that the bermuda is real and scary

  42. Anonymous says:

    i think there is a space hole in bermuda…………for people who dont know a space hole is a passage or door or a hole in d plances of space, time and light. It can take u through time as well as galaxies miles apart within seconds….

  43. I LOVE U says:

    HMMMM YE….. I BELIEVE THAT THE BRMUDA TRIANGLE IS REAL ABOUT U KNOW PARANORMAL AND NOT JUST SOME COINCEIDNECES COMMON WHAT NOOB THINKS THAT ? AND ALL THE GIRLS COMMENTING I LOVE U !

  44. ashley says:

    im going to bermuda pretty soon for my graduation so stop scaring me. with these myths

  45. fareed says:

    Ashley U r the lucky one
    u will find everything about this when u get there
    cool huh!!!!!!!!!!
    tell us about it
    OK

    later

  46. fareed says:

    FOR MR.Anonymous,
    There is no such thing like a space hole
    OK that’s in cartoons maybe movies
    there is no logic to the ’space holes’ thingy
    Do u think all the people who have got lost have gone through time or galaxies in ’seconds’

    I don’t think so
    for crying out loud

  47. zainab says:

    Just like Fareed,
    Ashley, enjoy your trip to Bermuda!

  48. mike.d says:

    this is for fareed, look bro just cuz thing’s seem impossible doen’t mean that it’s not possible, look before all the technology that we have avalible today was invented, critics and skeptic’s said that it was all impossible but now we have cell phone’s that have iternet capabiltiy’s, hell the cell phone alone was a big brake through, and the phone also was a big triumph in technology before we had these we would send message’s with carrier pigeons. so bro a word of advice, keep your mind open, and be ready for anything to come along, cuz when it does it just might blow your perspective on life.

  49. horsedance says:

    Hey,just wanna say that this bermuda triangle mystery sure is a mystery too say the least.I have pretty much read about all there is about this strange place were man and machine disappear.Far out stuff.The one story I find hard to believe but actually happened and witnessed by these guys on boats.Not sure if these boaters were fisherman or what.Their long rope was stickin into a greenish fog that was around them.Anyways the story goes that the anchor or rope was hooked up to something in this greenish fog.Eventually this fog disappears and the rope just drops like it was disconnected from inside this greenish fog.There are also stories about U.F.O,s in and out of around the bermuda triangle.Time warps maybe.Anyways some good stuff here about the unexplained……….

  50. Anonymous says:

    This may be a fact that the gravity in this region is about 12.5 meter per second and due to this reason only the flight gets sink . This is because the flight engine is designed in such a way that it goes up by out coming the gravity of 9.8 meter per
    This may be a fact that taking place there……. ..:
