Bermuda Triangle Mystery

In the last century, it is estimated that around 50 ships and 20 airplanes mysteriously disappeared in an area called the Bermuda Triangle. No wonder many people call this area the Devil's Triangle. After almost a century has passed, is there any mystery left from the Bermuda Triangle?

The Bermuda Triangle stretches across the Atlantic Ocean, bounded by a line connecting Florida, the island of Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Its area is about 1.2 million km2. The mystery begins when many ships, boats, and airplanes mysteriously disappear in this area. According to the researchers, in this area, the laws of physics are severely violated.

Even today, the Bermuda Triangle is still a favorite topic of Hollywood novels and films. His story is never done being discussed on paranormal and mystery sites, including on this blog.

The name Bermuda Triangle originally came from a journalist named Vincent Gaddis, who wrote an article entitled "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle," which was published in February 1964 in Argosy magazine. However, this legend was revived and popularized by a writer named Charles Berlitz, who wrote a book called "The Bermuda Triangle" in 1974.

One of the first stories about this mystery is an incident that occurred in 1918. At that time, a ship named USS Cyclops, which was 542 feet long and carried coal for the American navy, was sailing from Salvador to Maryland. The ship never reached its destination. Searchers only found evidence that the ship docked in Barbados on March 3 and 4 to increase supplies. After that, it disappeared without a trace.

Another popular story is the mysterious disappearance of five American military aircraft (flight 19) on December 5, 1945. On that day, five Avenger bombers departed from the naval base in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at 2:10 p.m. The five planes were piloted by flying soldiers led by Lt. Charles Taylor.

An hour and a half later, Lt. Robert Cox on base received a radio transmission from Lt. Charles Taylor, who said that his compass stopped working and he was confused about the direction. Over the next several hours, the base was able to receive radio communications from the five aircraft until communications were completely cut off at 7:04 p.m.

Two planes were then ordered to fly to search for the five planes. One of the search planes never returned to base. The helper had joined the five planes, vanishing into thin air.

And the last known case that occurred in the Bermuda Triangle area occurred on May 13, 2017. A pilot named Nathan Ulrich flew with his girlfriend, Jennifer Blumin, CEO of Skylight, and his two sons, aged four and two years.

They took a private plane through the Bermuda Triangle. However, the plane suddenly disappeared completely from radar and could not be contacted. In fact, the testimony of the coast guard did not indicate bad weather, and the pilot was a reliable person.

This mystery has caused various theories to surface. According to ufologists, at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, where the Bermuda Triangle is, there is an alien base that kidnaps ships and planes. According to adherents of the New Age, planes and ships disappeared because of the crystal residue that came from the mysterious island of Atlantis. According to spiritualists, the Bermuda Triangle is the door to the fourth dimension.

According to more rational researchers, this phenomenon can be caused by electromagnetic interference. For skeptics, those most responsible are bad weather, bad luck, pirates, incompetent navigators, and human error.

Interesting, because the theories do not end there. A psychiatrist named Dr. Kenneth McCall has another theory. He traced the history of the Bermuda Triangle back hundreds of years and found that the area was once a place where western merchant ships passed. And he found one surprising fact. During the time of the slave trade, an estimated 10 million slaves were dumped into the sea, either because they caught disease or because they were punished.

According to Dr. McCall, the spirits of 10 million slaves can confuse the minds of passing pilots or navigators. Hmm. pretty reasonable.

The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle continued until 2000. At that time, a British ship that had sunk 70 years earlier (not in the Bermuda Triangle) was successfully lifted from the seabed. This ship proved to be the key to solving the mystery of the more rational Bermuda Triangle, namely methane gas.

According to them, in certain areas of the ocean, methane gas sometimes shoots out from the seabed. The rise of this gas to the surface causes a decrease in the density of sea water and will cause anything that is at sea level to sink. Even if the crew jumped to the surface with buoys, they would still sink.

And in the Bermuda Triangle area, several parts are found where methane gas usually shoots to the surface of the sea. This can indeed explain the cause of the sinking of ocean ships. But we still cannot explain the cause of the disappearance of the aircraft.

Then, in 1975, a man named Larry Kusche, who worked as a librarian at Arizona State University, researched this mystery in earnest and came to very different conclusions. According to him, there is no mystery in the Bermuda Triangle. He wrote the results of his investigation in a book entitled "The Bermuda Triangle Mystery, Solved".

He found many reports of accidents in the Bermuda Triangle that were not reported accurately. For example, he found a report about a ship that suddenly disappeared in a calm sea, when in reality the sea was being hit by a storm.

Elsewhere, he found many stories written about ships that mysteriously disappeared. In fact, the wrecks of these ships have been found, and the causes of their sinking have been explained.

In another case, he found an author mentioning a lost ship in the Bermuda Triangle. When in fact the ship sank 3,000 miles away from the Bermuda Triangle.

After all, with an area of 1.2 million km2 and heavy shipping traffic, it is only natural that several ships have sunk there. After all, the planes and ships that sank a few decades ago did not have an adequate navigation system.

After nearly a century, the question is, are there any mysteries left of the Bermuda Triangle? It seems that what is still a mystery is how the Bermuda Triangle can become a mystery.

Maybe the stories and stories that we get are indeed mixed up with the human imagination. Maybe Larry Kusche is right. There is no mystery in the Bermuda Triangle.

If that's the case, I sympathize with the grieving Bermuda Triangle mystery fans.
