The Bermuda Triangle, also
known as the Devil's Triangle, is
a loosely defined region in the
western part of the North Atlantic
Ocean where a number of aircraft
and ships are said to have
disappeared under mysterious
circumstances.
NOTABLE INCIDENTS
1.USS CYCLOPES
The incident resulting in the single largest loss
of life in the history of the US Navy not related
to combat occurred when the collier Cyclops,
carrying a full load of manganese ore and with
one engine out of action, went missing without a
trace with a crew of 309 sometime after March
4, 1918, after departing the island of Barbados.
FLIGHT 19
Flight 19 was a training flight of five TBM Avenger torpedo bombers

that disappeared on December 5, 1945, while over the Atlantic. The
squadron's flight plan was scheduled to take them due east from
Fort Lauderdale for 141 mi (227 km), north for 73 mi (117 km), and
then back over a final 140-mile (230-kilometre) leg to complete the
exercise. The flight never returned to base. The disappearance was
attributed by Navy investigators to navigational error leading to the
aircraft running out of fuel.
STAR TIGER AND STAR ARIEL
G-AHNP Star Tiger disappeared on January

30, 1948, on a flight from the Azores to
Bermuda; G-AGRE Star Ariel disappeared on
January 17, 1949, on a flight from Bermuda to
Kingston, Jamaica. Both were Avro Tudor IV
passenger aircraft operated by British South
American Airways.[44] Both planes were
operating at the very limits of their range and
the slightest error or fault in the equipment
could keep them from reaching the small
island.
PARANORMAL EXPLANATIONS
One explanation pins the blame on leftover

technology from the mythical lost continent of
Atlantis. Sometimes connected to the Atlantis story
is the submerged rock formation known as the
Bimini Road off the island of Bimini in the Bahamas,
which is in the Triangle by some definitions.
Followers of the purported psychic Edgar Cayce
take his prediction that evidence of Atlantis would
be found in 1968, as referring to the discovery of
the Bimini Road. Believers describe the formation
as a road, wall, or other structure, but the Bimini
Road is of natural origin.
Natural explanations
Methan
Compass Human Violent Gulf
e
variation error weather stream
hydrates
1.Compass variation
Compass problems are one of the cited phrases in many Triangle incidents. While some have theorized that unusual local
magnetic anomalies may exist in the area, such anomalies have not been found. Compasses have natural magnetic variations
in relation to the magnetic poles, a fact which navigators have known for centuries.
2.Human error
One of the most cited explanations in official inquiries as to the loss of any aircraft or vessel is human error.Human
stubbornness may have caused businessman Harvey Conover to lose his sailing yacht, Revonoc, as he sailed into the teeth of a
storm south of Florida on January 1, 1958.
3.Violent weather
Hurricanes are powerful storms that form in tropical waters and have historically cost thousands of lives and caused billions of
dollars in damage. The sinking of Francisco de Bobadilla's Spanish fleet in 1502 was the first recorded instance of a destructive
hurricane. These storms have in the past caused a number of incidents related to the Triangle.
4.Gulf stream
The Gulf Stream is a major surface current, primarily driven by thermohaline circulation that originates in the Gulf of Mexico
and then flows through the Straits of Florida into the North Atlantic. In essence, it is a river within an ocean, and, like a river, it
can and does carry floating objects. It has a maximum surface velocity of about 2 m/s (6.6 ft/s). A small plane making a water
landing or a boat having engine trouble can be carried away from its reported position by the current.
The mystery surrounding an
infamous ship that vanished
in the Bermuda Triangle
nearly 100 years ago appears
to have been resolved. The
fate of the SS Cotopaxi has
long been shrouded in
mystery and has sparked
claims of “otherworldly” and
paranormal involvement.
