The Bermuda Triangle

 

The "Bermuda Triangle" is located in between Puerto Rico, Bermuda, and Cuba. It is shaped, as it name suggets, in a triangle. Though it is invisible, scientists and investigators have been able to map it out just where they think it might be. The lost tails of many ships, boats, and planes all lie in the great waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The many questions we have can not all be answered about the mysterious waters.

Some other names known for the Bermuda Triangle are "The Devil's Triangle", "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle" and " Triangle of Hell."

Weather can play a great deal in this mysterious place. Typically the weather in the Bermuda Triangle is temperate. Though in some incidences it has been the most beautiful day of the year and tragedy struck. When vessels have been lost, there are typically no survivors, wreakage, bodies, or oil slicks. The lost vessels were never found. Sometimes boats were found in perfect condition. Food, animals, and items were left as they were, but the crew was gone. The many reports of missing boats and planes quickly enliminated bad weather, mechanical problems and human error out of scientists minds. Scientists hypothosized that it could possibly be under water volcanoes, seaquakes, undiscovered magnetic forces, time warps, deathrays from Atlantis, or UFO's from outer space hidden in deep ocean caverns. Some of these theories may sound false but they could possibly be true.

Through stories told and video cameras found in good condition, many signs of entering the triangle have been found. Signs such as compasses spinning have affected the ships course and lost them in the great waters. Nausea, loss of radio connection, harsh winds, wrong time on watches and weather mishap all contribute to the loss of the vessels. Some of the strongest planes and ships have been sucked into this death warp.

There are also some logical explanations of the Bermuda Triangle. Scientists may not solve every mystery though. There are strong currents that come from the South and blow North. They come from the Gulf of Mexico. They are rather strong and it would take forever to get a small boat down South.

The Bermuda Triangle is an unpredicable mystery. It doesn't always swallow its victims. The mystery might never be soved. It's all up to you!
