Famous Bermuda Triangle is never on a map!?

We can try to estimate the number of lost ships and airplanes in the Bermuda Triangle. Some disappearances may be due to human error or weather phenomena. Let's look at the story of the SS Cotopaxi. This ship disappeared in 1925 while traveling from Charleston, South Carolina to Havana, Cuba. It was later found as a wreck 40 miles off St. Augustine, Florida. Specialists couldn't determine its origin and nicknamed it "Bear Rat." Marine biologists identified it as the missing SS Cotopaxi in January 2020 after years of work.

The appearance and location of the mysterious shipwreck outside of the Bermuda Triangle raises questions. The actual boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle are unclear and it is not recognized as an official location on any world map. The estimated size of the area ranges from 500,000 to 1.5 million square miles with a vague triangular shape. The term "Bermuda Triangle" was coined by American author Vincent Hayes Gaddis in 1964 to describe a triangular region where hundreds of ships and planes have disappeared without a trace.

Recording the number of lost ships and planes in the Bermuda Triangle proves to be a daunting task due to the lack of evidence in certain cases. While some vessels and aircraft have disappeared without a trace, their wreckage remains unrecovered in the area. Nonetheless, historical records provide insight into legends surrounding the Bermuda Triangle, which date back to the 15th century. For instance, Italian explorer Christopher Columbus reportedly sailed through the location during the late 1400s.

A sailor witnessed a massive flame crash into the ocean in what we know as the Bermuda Triangle. Later, he observed an unusual flashing light in the same location, which caused his compass to malfunction, a common occurrence for many sailors. In 1945, Flight 19, commanded by Lieutenant Charles Taylor, disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle. Pilots had to rely on compasses and time to navigate since GPS did not exist back then. Taylor's compass malfunctioned, and he did not have a watch on that day, causing the plane to get lost in the area and leading to the Bermuda Triangle legend.

The initial report indicated that pilot error was the cause of the unfortunate event. However, due to public dissatisfaction, the cause was later changed to unknown reasons after numerous reviews. Surviving pilot Bruce Garan suggested that he traveled through time while passing above the triangle and going through an electronic fog. In 1970, when the incident occurred, Garan was flying his aircraft when it was surrounded by two huge clouds that formed a whirlpool and spiral. Like many others before him, he noticed that his navigation devices were malfunctioning. When he eventually made it out of those clouds, he discovered that his flight had only taken 35 minutes instead of the expected 75. Since he had no other reasonable explanation, he believed that he must have been pushed forward in time. Strange-looking clouds are not the only phenomenon that have been observed above the Bermuda Triangle.

In 2014, a pilot reported nearly colliding with an unidentified flying object. There have been various similar incidents captured on video, such as an early 2015 flight where passengers observed a strange object hovering over the ocean. Despite this, pilots have been unable to provide a clear explanation of what they saw. Some potential explanations are more conventional, such as oceanographers who are investigating the disappearance of ships by reviving their rogue wave theory. These waves can be enormous walls of water, appearing suddenly and overlapping if multiple waves emerge at once, resulting in rogue waves that are over 100 feet high. Meteorologists have also suggested an explanation involving hexagonal clouds, which can create winds of up to 170 miles per hour, with some clouds stretching up to 20 to 55 miles across. Such cloud formations can cause waves that are up to 45 feet high. The earth's magnetic force may also be a contributing factor to the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle, as compasses point to true north instead of magnetic north due to the shifting magnetic north pole.

It has been explained that the overlapping of two magnetic fields in the Bermuda Triangle can create a phenomenon called the "agonic line," which can cause malfunctions in navigational devices. However, this line moves each year and is no longer in the Bermuda Triangle, but rather in the Gulf of Mexico. Additionally, deep craters along the coast of Norway, created by methane gas bubbles, may also contribute to the high number of shipwrecks in the Bermuda Triangle. Pilots and ship captains may avoid this area due to these potential dangers.

Fewer ships getting lost in the Bermuda Triangle nowadays could be explained by several factors. Despite popular belief, the region is heavily traveled, with many ships and flights passing through daily. The Gulf Stream, a strong ocean current known for causing sharp changes in local weather, also passes through the area, which is subject to tropical storms and hurricanes. Additionally, the Milwaukee Depth, the deepest point in the Atlantic Ocean, is located in the Bermuda Triangle. The area has a history of disappearances, but official statistics show that the number of ships and planes that vanish in the region is not different from any other comparable area of the Atlantic Ocean. The total number of incidents is hard to pinpoint due to false reports, such as the alleged 1937 plane crash off the coast of Florida that was never confirmed by local papers.

The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle is undeniable.
