The Bermuda Triangle is a section of the Atlantic Ocean, spreading about 500,000 square miles between Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. It is in this area, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, where many ships and aircraft have mysteriously gone missing since the 1900’s. Airplanes and ships have experienced extreme disorientation, strange sights of lights and figures, and disappearances with no evidence left behind to where they have gone.
An infamous tragedy that happened in the Bermuda Triangle occurred in 1919 when a large Navy ship, the USS Cyclops, sank in the triangle along with over 300 men and 10,000 tons of manganese (a type of mineral). The USS Cyclops, though equipped to send a distress call, never did so and after an extensive search, evidence of where the ship may have sank has never been discovered.
There have been many other disappearances of ships and planes that have gone missing while venturing through the Bermuda Triangle. Theories about why this area of the Atlantic Ocean is deadly to all that pass through it are considerable, ranging from aliens, to gravity fields, to sea monsters, and the lost city of Atlantis. After years of research and investigation by scientists, oceanographers, and members of the U.S Coast Guard, the secrets behind the hazardous Bermuda Triangle have yet to be solved.
