Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle is an area roughly bounded by Bermuda, Puerto Rico and the southern tip of Florida. Over the years numerous planes and ships have been lost within this region, leading many to believe that mysterious forces are at work.

The legend is synonymous with the disappearance of Flight 19. On December 5, 1945, a squadron of 5 US Navy bombers left their base in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and were never seen again. The term ‘Bermuda Triangle’ was first coined by Vincent Gaddis in an article he wrote for Argosy magazine in 1964, but it was Charles Berlitz’s best-selling book The Bermuda Triangle, published in 1974, that gave the area its notoriety.

Various theories have been proposed to explain the losses including alien abductions, giant squids, ocean flatulence (huge bubbles of trapped methane rising from the sea) and magnetic distortions. Believe what you want, but the only time we’ve ever been lost is on the way back from the Robin Hood.

There is nothing like experience. I was sailing from Nassau to Palm Beach with 3 friends. We ran into Tropical Storm Dottie (Aug 1976). I was at the helm. I went into an altered state of conciousness. I felt in complete control. Although I had to change course a hundred degrees, to the north on the north moving Gulf Stream, we arrived at Lake Worth Inlet at my estimated time of arrival. Seas were breaking completely across the inlet. I sailed into the breakers. Seas were breaking on both sides. We slid down the wave behind into the inlet. It never broke. My friends called it a miracle. Some of us are lost in the Triangle. Some are saved.

The Flight 19 happened way back in 1945 and from what I see all the circumstances surrounding its loss are verifiable. Is science not enough then to explain this bermuda triangle mystery? The loss of life and limb imputing the triangle is not an ordinary thing. Technology is busy exploring Mars yet it cannot explore and explain something that is very much within earth? gimme a break. Il start reading about bermuda triangle when the mystery is already solved. Otherwise, il satisfy myself into believing that everything is the workings of alien forces.

So all you do is watch TV? That is a reliable source, because everything on TV is truth. Try reading books. Clearly nobody knows what is going on and that's ok. We don't have to figure everything out.

It is due to a combination of the currents, magnetic fields and unpredictable weather.

I think u is all WAY off track, didn't you see that documentary???? It was proven that it was gas rising to the surface that somehow threw out the magnetic field...theyeven sank a boat to prove it! Watch tele a bit more, not alien sci-fis and you might get some REAL answers

The space warp or Atlantean crystal placement theories I believe are right on track. There are many ways to enter this other dimension. One of which is our own brain and altered means of consciousness. I think there is a force vibrating at just the right frequency physical matter will slip right through like sand thru a fishing net without destroying its molecular structure. This other dimension is parallel and so much more advanced its not possible to measure it from this dimension without examining from a altered state of consciousness or psychic abilities. It’s my future work to research these studies under Amazonian Shamanic guidance thru altered states of consciousness with the medicinal plant Ayahuasca of Peru. Thanks great topic.

I think weather plays a big part in the Bermuda Triangle disappearances. The weather in this area is extremely changable and potentially dangerous. Hurricanes, high winds, strong seas and tropical thunderstorms all play a part.

My theory of the Bermuda Triangle is that there is some sort of mass energy undersea that somehow warps the space time continuum. That is why sometimes ships/planes make impossible time and people see strange places. That also explains the disappearances, which might be due to the mass energy that accidentally teleports people/crafts to random times. Another explanation is that the Bermuda Triangle is an undersea alien time gateway to travel through time and space.
