THE MYSTERIOUS TRIANGLE. Bermuda Triangle, the vanishing place.


Bermuda Triangle


The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle or Hurricane Alley, is defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under a mysterious circumstances without any trace. Vincent Gaddis gave the region  its name in a magazine in 1964. An article was published in 1950 referencing unusual disappearances, and again in 1952 when the article "Sea Mystery at Our Back Door" covered the loss of five Navy TBM Avenger bombers. 

      In 1964, Vincent Gaddis wrote in the magazine Argosy of the boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle. He gave its vertices as Miami; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Bermuda. But some writers gave different boundaries and vertices. The total area is varying from 1,300,000 to 3,900,000 km2 (500,000 to 1,510,000 sq mi).
      Many tales have been told about this vanishing area. Aliens captured the humans for research. Some geomagnetic storm confused the pilot’s navigation system. The lost continent of Atlantis sucked the vessels into its grasp with a mysterious, unidentified force. The vessels could have easily been overcome by giant and unexpected storm. This hypothesis isn't new, but a group of U.K. scientists recently discussed the evidence for freak waves and other theories (including the role of human error) in a three-episode documentary series "The Bermuda Triangle Enigma," produced by the BBC for Channel 5. "There is no doubt this area is prone to rogue waves," Simon Boxall, an oceanographer at the University of Southampton and one of the scientists on the team, told Live Science. They are possible "anywhere you get multiple storms coming together."  The  waves are to tall. And for many stormy weather create hazard in this place. So the aeroplane and ships did not cross it.
