The Bermuda Triangleis sometimes called the Devil's Triangle.It is reputedly an area in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean. The triangle doesn't exist according to the US Navy and the name is not recognized by the USBoard on Geographic Names.
However, a number of aircraft and surface vessels are said to have disappeared in the triangle under unknown circumstances. Popular culture has attributed various disappearances to the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings. Here is a map which shows you some of the lost ships :
Writers gave different limits to the triangle, with the total area varying from 500,000 to 1.5 million square miles. • The area is one of the most heavily traveled shipping lanes in the world, with ships crossing through it daily for ports in the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands. • The area is one of the most heavily traveled shipping lanes in the world, with ships crossing through it daily for ports in the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands.
IN 1952 Fatemagazine published "Sea Mystery at Our Back Door", a short article by George X. Sand covering the lost of several planes and ships, including the loss of Flight 19, a group of five U.S. NavyTBM Avenger bombers on a training mission. It was claimedthat the flight leader had been heard saying, "We are entering white water, nothing seems right. We don't know where we are, the water is green, no white." It was also claimed that officials at the Navy board of inquiry stated that the planes "flew off to Mars." Sand's article was the first to suggest a supernatural element to the Flight 19 incident.
Other notable incidents : • USS Cyclops Carroll A. Deering • Star Tiger and Star Ariel Douglas DC-3
LARRY KUSCHE Lawrence David Kusche, a research librarian from Arizona State University is the author of The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved (1975). Kusche concluded that: The number of ships and aircraft reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than in any other part of the ocean. In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur were, for the most part, neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious; Furthermore, Berlitz and other writers would often fail to mention such storms or even represent the disappearance as having happened in calm conditions when meteorological records clearly contradict this. The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat's disappearance, for example, would be reported, but its eventual (if belated) return to port may not have been. Some disappearances had, in fact, never happened. One plane crash was said to have taken place in 1937 off Daytona Beach, Florida, in front of hundreds of witnesses; a check of the local papers revealed nothing. The legend of the Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery, perpetuated by writers who either purposely or unknowingly made use of misconceptions, faulty reasoning, and sensationalism.[
