I read a ton of books as a child, fascinated by the mysteries surrounding the Bermuda Triangle. Stories of ghost ships, planes going missing forever, and instruments going crazy captivated me. As an adult, I've spent a lot of time inside the boundaries of the infamous Triangle—a section of the Atlantic Ocean that stretches between Bermuda, South Florida, and Puerto Rico—with memories from my childhood still fresh in my mind. The majority of the 700+ islands that make up the Bahamas, with the except of Bermuda, are included in the Triangle. I have explored the wreck-filled waters off Bermuda, gone scuba diving on the Bimini Road, an underwater rock formation close to the Bahamas, and even made multiple trips into the triangle. Is my life a blessing? Which is true? What comprises Bermuda's mysteries External to Earth Triangle? Let us talk.
External to Earth
A lot of things that seem to be outside the realm of possibility are attributed to extraterrestrial intelligence. Since a ship vanishes, our friends from Andromeda must have crossed space and time to obtain our knowledge of floating and in-atmosphere flight. Yes, a sailboat and a Cessna are exactly what they need in Andromeda. Flight 19, which occurred on December 5, 1945, and involved five Navy bombers that appeared to vanish in midair, has been linked to UFO sightings.
The Pirates' Presence
Piracy happens everywhere there are seas. There is a warning from the US Department of State that there may be "vessels... engaged in illicit activities... near the Bahamas." However, wouldn't you want to live in a place where people would attribute suspicious activities to methane, UFOs, and magnetic anomalies if you were aspiring to be a pirate? Yes, indeed. A haven for rogues is the Bermuda Triangle.
Methane, a naturally occurring gas that is less dense than water, is the most recent offender in the Bermuda Triangle. Therefore, yes, your boat could sink if you happen to be sailing through an area of the ocean when a massive methane effluvium bubbles up from the deep. Under deep, high pressure conditions, which can be found in the world's oceans, including some areas of the Bermuda Triangle, gas hydrates can form. However, there are no known instances of this kind of incident.
Outlier Waves
As you enjoy the sun, sea, and wind while floating in a boat in the deep ocean's cradle, all of a sudden a massive wave appears next to your vessel and submerges it. As it happens in seas all over the world, this does occur suddenly in the Bermuda Triangle. Thus, this theory seems plausible. And is the most plausible explanation for the enigmatic disappearances that take place in the Triangle, barring human error.
Magnetic Deviations
Pilots reporting that their instrumentation has gone haywire can be heard on recordings if you've ever watched a television program about the Bermuda Triangle. So let's consider this sensibly. Only a small portion of the planet is true north. The majority of pilots, sailors, and GPS-equipped computers recognize that magnetic variations are common and adjust their compass bearings to align with true north accordingly. Does that imply that a compass malfunction is an unexplained mystery, though? All over the world, magnetic anomalies can occur locally as well. However, tens of thousands of motor yachts, sailboats, airplanes, and other water-bound vehicles pass through these waters every year and appear to come out unscathed.
Dull Errors
Human error causes billions of dollars' worth of goods to be lost worldwide. Could the Bermuda Triangle be the site of this as well? Of course. Think about the pirates. What better location to experience a disastrous loss of property if you make a catastrophic error that causes your boat, plane, or personal watercraft to be lost, and you don't want to take responsibility than the enigmatic, ship-eating, UFO-infested, methane-spewing Bermuda Triangle? Hi, claimant on insurance. Reports on recreational boating accidents do indicate a high frequency of incidents in the area surrounding the Bermuda Triangle.
The Atlanta universe?
My personal favorite theory is this one. Many Atlantes think that the Bimini Road leads to Atlantis, the enigmatic and as-yet-undiscovered utopia. It would be difficult for something akin to Atlantis to stay hidden from our observant world while submerged beneath the surface of the ocean. Therefore, it stands to reason that supplies and spare parts for infrastructure would occasionally run low in this mythical land. If you're an Atlantis in need, sinking a ship or two to replenish supplies, a plane for parts, or a drug dealer's cigarette boat for fun occasionally seems reasonable. Though, of course, this is all fiction, is it not? Correct?
