3. •The Bermuda Triangle
(sometimes also referred to as
the Devil's Triangle) is a
stretch of the Atlantic Ocean
bordered by a line from
Florida to the islands of
Bermuda, to Puerto Rico and
then back to Florida.
4. •The term "Bermuda Triangle" was first used in an article
written by Vincent H. Gaddis for Argosy magazine in 1964.
•In the article, Gaddis claimed that in this strange sea a
number of ships and planes had disappeared without
explanation. Gaddis wasn't the first one to come to this
conclusion, either.
5. • As early as 1952, George X. Sands, in a report in
Fate magazine, noted what seemed like an unusually
large number of strange accidents in that region.
6. •In 1969 John Wallace Spencer wrote a book called Limbo of the Lost
specifically about the Triangle and, two years later, a feature
documentary on the subject, The Devil's Triangle, was released.
•These, along with the bestseller The Bermuda Triangle, published in
1974, permanently registered the legend of the "Hoodoo Sea" within
popular culture.

8. The Marie Celeste
•On December 5th, 1872, a ship was found abandoned near
Puerto Rico.
•They had thought that the crew had just left in a hurry.
•The crew on the Marie Celeste were never heard from or seen
ever again..
9. The Disappearance of Douglas DC-3
NC16002 was a DC-3 passenger plane that vanished on the night
of December 28, 1948, during a flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico,
to Miami, Florida.
The weather was fine with high visibility and the flight was,
according to the pilot, within 50 miles of Miami when it
disappeared with its three crew members and twenty-nine
passengers.
10. The Disappearance of Douglas DC-3
Though no probable cause for the loss was determined by the official
investigation, it is known that the plane's batteries were not fully
charged on takeoff and this may have interfered with
communications during the flight.
A message from Miami to the plane that the direction of the wind
had changed may have not been received by the pilot, causing him to
fly up to fifty miles off course.

•The Magnet theory
•The Gas release theory
•The Alien theory
•The Atlantis theory
22. The Magnetic Theory
The Bermuda Triangle is thought to be at a point on
the earth where there is high magnetic activity. The
high magnetic energy causes compasses to spin and
could confuse navigators. Disruptions in the
geomagnetic flux may also be a reason.
23. The Bermuda Triangle is situated
over a large oceanic trench.
It is believed that this trench
occasionally undergoes oceanic
flatulence (methane gas erupting
from ocean sediments) releasing
gas which lowers the density of
the water. Because of this
24. The Alien Abductance
Theory
Some people believe aliens are the reason why the vessels
disappeared.
Some of these people think that there is an underwater base
in the region.
Others think that vessels are confused by a downed UFO.
25. The Atlantis Theory
Some people believe that the strange phenomenon is
caused by the fabled city of Atlantis.
The city was believed to be powered by crystals and
it is thought that these crystals cause the strange
disappearances.
26. In 1975 Larry Kusche, a librarian at Arizona State
University, reached a totally different conclusion.
He found that many of the strange accidents were
not so strange after all.
Often a Triangle writer had noted a ship or plane
had disappeared in "calms seas" when the record
showed a raging storm had been in progress.
27. Often a Triangle writer had noted a ship or plane had
disappeared in "calms seas" when the record showed a
raging storm had been in progress.
In one case a ship listed missing in the Triangle actually
had disappeared in the Pacific Ocean some 3,000 miles
away! The author had confused the name of the Pacific
port the ship had left with a city of the same name on
the Atlantic coast.
28. The Bermuda triangle has been under learning since 1950.
It is impossible to describe all the hypotheses explaining mysterious
events in this research work, which take place in Bermuda.
But we can continue the scientific work on this subject, because
we have a lot of materials to study and interesting describes are
waiting for us.
It’s the mystery which excites brains of many people and
sometime it will be revealed.
