BERMUDA TRIANGLE – A MYSTERY ZONE
For decades, a section of the North Atlantic Ocean has been a notorious place on Earth. From sea monsters to UFOs, the triangle has been a topic of scientific studies and theories. But the mystery remains coded as it proposes various possibilities that makes it one of the biggest science mysteries in the world….
What is Bermuda Triangle?
The Triangle is a part of the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda, South Florida and Puerto Rico. It is also termed as Devil’s triangle for being a mysterious area, known for sudden disappearances of ships and airplanes.
Is it an extra-terrestrial territory or a pirate haven?
Often touted as a scene from a Steven Spielberg movie, the Bermuda triangle is believed to be tracked by aliens. According to a few theories, the extra-terrestrials must have travelled across space and time to enter Earth’s atmosphere. Shooting off from the scenes from ‘Pirates of the Carribeans’, the Bermuda triangle could be home to pirates. But being humans, where would they store the assumed stolen ships and airplanes? Nevertheless, these fictional possibilities barely stand a chance for explaining the mystery.
Could it be the rogue waves?
Well, though the triangle is a section in the Atlantic Ocean, waves would have little role in causing much turbulence. But rogue waves, that usually pop up from deep water and land on your boats can make them sink. And it does occur in the Bermuda triangle without any forecast or warning like it occurs in seas and ocean across the globe. It could be a tectonic activity that would cause the disastrous waves which cannot be ruled out.
Methane Gas – the newest supposition
Methane is a natural gas that is less dense than water. As per the scientific theories, if a ship sails through methane infused water, the patch of ocean would display massive methane bubbles with harmful stench that comes from the deep water. The methane gas hydrates exist in deep, high pressure environments found in all the world’s oceans, including parts of the Bermuda Triangle. But there are no recorded cases that any such an incident has occurred.
Do magnetic glitches play a role in the mystery?
Many articles, shows or videos have often documented recordings of sailors and pilots of sudden disruption in signals and their instruments going non-functional. Scientifically, true north only exists within a small section of the Earth. Often, as magnetic variations are normal, most sailors, pilots and even computers with GPS systems need to adjust compass bearings to the north. With the compass going haywire, signals may go wrong or blank, causing dislocation and thereby making things ‘disappear’.
Mystery or deception?
The area around the Bermuda Triangle is one of the most travelled shipping routes in the world with ships frequently crossing through the island ports in the Americas, Europe and Caribbean. Thus, most reputable sources dismiss the ‘mystery’ and term it to be wrongly reported or simply overstated. There is no recent case of any disappearance in the area. But still, the Bermuda Triangle still remains a mystery to be decoded!
Do you know?
Besides Bermuda, over 70 islands that make up the Bahamas, fall within the Triangle!
