Bermuda Triangle

“The Devil’s triangle”

Overview:+ We will discuss

-What is Bermuda triangle???

- The location of Bermuda triangle.

- Discovery of Bermuda triangle.

- Different theories related to this triangle.

- The incidences that had occurred in this triangle.

•The Bermuda Triangle is an area of water in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea.

•It goes from Miami, Florida to San Juan, Puerto Rico to

Bermuda.•The Bermuda Triangle covers

about 1.2 million miles.

The Bermuda Triangle

Location:

•Disappearance of ships, small boats, and aircraft.•YouTube - Photographic proof of the Bermuda Triangle.flv

•Over 8,000 people have disappeared in the Triangle.

•There has also been strange yellow fog seen in that area.

People have had instruments such as a compass stop working

while in the Triangle.

Mystery Of Bermuda triangle

In 1492 Christopher Columbus was on his journey, which would lead him to the West Indies. He noted that the ships compass was acting strangely and giving inaccurate readings in the Sargasso Sea, and at one point he saw a frat hall of fire shoot across the sky and crash into the sea.

Discovery Of Bermuda Triangle

Though these lives lost are tragedies, this is not that incredible of a figure. It is how they died that have sparked many legends. These flames were given fuel by V. Gaddis article in "Argosy: Magazine of Masterpiece Fiction" where the term "Bermuda Triangle" was first used.

THEORIES

Many theories have been given to explain the extraordinary mystery of these missing ships and planes.

Sci-Fi TheoryMagnetic Force TheoryGas Bubble TheoryGulf StreamTropical weatherAlien’s theory

Sci-Fi Theory

it could be........

The “MONSTERS”

Contd…•One theory is that a giant sea animal lives in the triangle. It takes ships and pulls them down.

•Also there was a sighting of a monster jellyfish

•There is the thought of a giant octopus that pulls people off the ship and eats . them, but I think that is a stupid theory.

Who knows, there may just be something in the Bermuda Triangle.

Some people say that the Bermuda Triangle is one of the

few places on Earth with a magnetic force.

The magnetic force in the Triangle has been known to

cause a compass to fail or point to true North, which is

different than North in general.

Magnetic Force Theory

Hydrates of methane formed at the depth of more than 300 meters at temperature of about 2 degrees above zero.

This substance turns into gaseous state.

The density of water descends down sharply and they can’t secure floatation of ships.

Gas Bubble Theory

Gulf Stream The gulf stream is an ocean current that originates in the gulf of Mexico.

It can carry floating objects like a river.

It has a surface velocity of about 2.5 m/s.

A small plan making a water landing or a boat having engine trouble can be carried away by the current.

.

•Short and intense storms build up, undetected by satellite surveillance.

•Presence of such dangerous elements as waterspouts that could easily destroy anything.

Tropical Weather

Some people believe that the Triangle houses the famous lost city of Atlantis. No evidence has been brought forth to

prove this theory, but many claim to have seem or "felt the powers" of the lost city.

•…Aliens! there is little evidence to show any sign of UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) in the area.

•Several people have claimed to have made UFO sightings,

•UFO experts and enthusiasts do not support the photographs involved.

Incidences occurred in the Bermuda Triangle.

Flight 19 occurred when a group of five fighter planes disappeared without a trace. They vanished on a training mission during a severe storm in 1945. Several rescue planes went out to look for them, one of them vanished too.

Flight 19

Douglas DC-3 On December 28, 1948, a Douglas DC-3 aircraft, disappeared while on a flight from

San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Miami. No trace of the aircraft or the 32 people onboard was

ever found.

1948: Four-engined Tudor IV lost with 31 lives.

1950: American freighter, SS Sandra (350 ft), sinks without a trace.

1954: US Navy Lockheed Constellation vanishes with 42 aboard.

1962: US Air Force KB-50 tanker plane lost.

1963: Marine Sulpher Queen vanishes without a trace.

Some Other Incidences

1967: Military YC-122, converted to cargo plane, lost.

1970: French freighter Milton latrides disappears.

1972: German freighter Anita (20,000 tons), lost with crew of 32.

1997: Passengers disappear from German yacht.

Kusche’s researchLarry Kusche, author of “The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved” argued that many claims of subsequent writers were often exaggerated or unverifiable. Kusche also argued that a large percentage of the incidents occurred well outside it.

So is the mystery true??

Was there a raging storm?

Or the aliens or monsters?

Did Larry Kusche actually solve the Bermuda triangle?

Or was he trying to look smart?

CONCLUSION•Still the area is undoubtedly an area of

great tragedy and even mystery.

•Perhaps the ocean is to remain a secret to man, a mystery, to keep us away from the power nature truly has

over man.

•This mystery can serve as a warning and to inspire awe into men's heart,

looking at the greatness and power this great Creation.
