Bermuda triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, happens to be one of the most mysterious places on this planet. Located off the southeastern coast of the US in the Atlantic Ocean, between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico, the region has become the Centre of unresolved mysteries.
Covering an area of 440,000 miles of sea, the Bermuda triangle is part of a busy shipping route, with several vessels heading to America, Europe and the Caribbean crossing through every day.
It is more due to the inexplicable outcomes that make it a highly studied yet enigmatic component of the earth’s surface.
Over the centuries, many ships and planes have been reported to have mysteriously disappeared in the region.
Also, this Devil’s Triangle has been blamed for the disappearance of thousands of people in the past decades.
The term “Bermuda Triangle” was first used by Vincent Gaddis in 1964 in his article published in Argosy magazine.Representation image
The stories around the Bermuda triangle begin in Christopher Columbus’s time when he reportedly saw a flame of fire crashing into the sea in the triangle during his first voyage to the New World.
As the accidents, often mysterious, continue to happen in the Bermuda Triangle region, many have offered a number of explanations for the mystery behind them.
The role of paranormal activities and the presence of aliens have been strongly suggested by those who believe something odd is happening, while many with scientific views disputed this argument offering rational explanations to the phenomenon.
Among the few proposed scientific explanations, the most popular is the theory of electromagnetic interference that causes compass problems.
This theory claims that there is a very high pull of the earth’s natural magnet, which redirects the compass and other sophisticated equipment, and disallows them to take their intended route through the waters.
