You won't find it on any official map and you won't
know when you cross the line, but according to some
people, the Bermuda Triangle is a very real place where
dozen of ships, planes and people have disappeared with
no good explanation. Since a magazine first coined the
phrase "Bermuda Triangle" in 1964, the mystery has
continued to attract attention. When you dig deeper into
most cases, though, they're much less mysterious.
Either they were never in the area to begin with, they
were actually found, or there's a reasonable explanation
for their disappearance.
Does this mean there's nothing to the claims of so many
who have had odd experiences in the Bermuda Triangle?
Not necessarily. Scientists have documented deviations
from the norm in the area and have found some
interesting formations on the seafloor within the
Bermuda Triangle's boundaries. So, for those who like to
believe in it, there is plenty fuel for the fire.
In this article, we'll look at the facts surrounding what
we do know about the area as well as some of the most
commonly-recited stories. We'll also explore the bizarre
theories like aliens and space portals as well as the
mundane explanations.
Many think of the Bermuda Triangle, also known as the
Devil's Triangle, as an "imaginary" area. The U. S. Board
of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda
Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it.
However, within this imaginary area, many real vessels
and the people aboard them have seemingly disappeared
without explanation.
The Bermuda Triangle is located off the Southeastern
coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean, with its
apexes in the vicinities of Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and
San Juan, Puerto Rico. It covers roughly 500,000 square
miles.
The area may have been named after its Bermuda apex
since Bermuda was once known as the "Isle of Devils."
Treacherous reefs that have ensnared ships sailing too
close to its shores surround Bermuda, and there are
hundreds of shipwrecks in the waters that surround it.
