5. Introduction

6. The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is
a loosely defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic
Ocean, where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have
disappeared under mysterious circumstances. According to
the US Navy, the triangle does not exist, and the name is not
recognized by the US Board on Geographic Names. Popular
culture has attributed various disappearances to
the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial
beings. Documented evidence indicates that a significant
percentage of the incidents were spurious, inaccurately
reported, or embellished by later authors. In a 2013 study,
the World Wide Fund for Nature identified the world’s 10 most
dangerous waters for shipping, but the Bermuda Triangle was
not among them.

The first written boundaries date from an article by Vincent
Gaddis in a 1964 issue of the pulp magazine Argosy, where
the triangle's three vertices are in Miami, Florida peninsula;
in San Juan, Puerto Rico and in the mid-Atlantic island
of Bermuda. But subsequent writers did not follow this
definition.Some writers give different boundaries and vertices
to the triangle, with the total area varying from 1,300,000 to
3,900,000 km2
(500,000 to 1,510,000 sq mi).Consequently, the
determination of which accidents have occurred inside the
triangle depends on which writer reports them. The United
States Board on Geographic Names does not recognize this
name, and it is not delimited in any map drawn by US
government agencies.

9. Origins

10. The earliest allegation of unusual disappearances in the Bermuda area appeared
in a September 17, 1950 article published in The Miami Herald by Edward Van
Winkle Jones.Two years later, Fate magazine published "Sea Mystery at Our
Back Door",a short article by George X. Sand covering the loss of several planes
and ships, including the loss of Flight 19, a group of five U.S. Navy TBM Avenger
bombers on a training mission. Sand's article was the first to lay out the now-
familiar triangular area where the losses took place. Flight 19 alone would be
covered again in the April 1962 issue of American Legion magazine.In it, author
Allan W. Eckert wrote that the flight leader had been heard saying, "We are
entering white water, nothing seems right. We don't know where we are, the water
is green, no white." He also wrote that officials at the Navy board of inquiry stated
that the planes "flew off to Mars." Sand's article was the first to suggest a
supernatural element to the Flight 19 incident. In the February 1964 issue of
Argosy, Vincent Gaddis' article "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle" argued that Flight
19 and other disappearances were part of a pattern of strange events in the
region.The next year, Gaddis expanded this article into a book, Invisible
Horizons.Others would follow with their own works, elaborating on Gaddis' ideas:
John Wallace Spencer (Limbo of the Lost, 1969, repr. 1973);Charles Berlitz (The
Bermuda Triangle, 1974);[15] Richard Winer (The Devil's Triangle, 1974), and
many others.

11. Supernatural
explanations
11

12. Triangle writers have used a number of supernatural concepts to
explain the events. One explanation pins the blame on leftover
technology from the mythical lost continent of Atlantis. Sometimes
connected to the Atlantis story is the submerged rock formation
known as the Bimini Road off the island of Bimini in the Bahamas,
which is in the Triangle by some definitions. Followers of the
purported psychic Edgar Cayce take his prediction that evidence
of Atlantis would be found in 1968 as referring to the discovery of
the Bimini Road. Believers describe the formation as a road, wall,
or other structure, though geologists consider it to be of natural
origin.Other writers attribute the events to UFOs.This idea was
used by Steven Spielberg for his science fiction film Close
Encounters of the Third Kind, which features the lost Flight 19
aircrews as alien abductees.Charles Berlitz, author of various
books on anomalous phenomena, lists several theories attributing
the losses in the Triangle to anomalous or unexplained forces. 12

13. The first written boundaries date from an article by Vincent Gaddis in
a 1964 issue of the pulp magazine Argosy,where the triangle's three
vertices are in Miami, Florida ; in San Juan;.But subsequent writers
did not follow this definition.Consequently, the determination of which
accidents have occurred inside the triangle depends on which writer
reports them.The United States Board on Geographic Names does
not recognize this name, and it is not delimited in any map drawn by
US government agencies.The area is one of the most heavily traveled
shipping lanes in the world, with ships crossing through it daily for
ports in the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands. Cruise
ships are also plentiful, and pleasure craft regularly go back and forth
between Florida and the islands. It is also a heavily flown route for
commercial and private aircraft heading towards Florida, the
Caribbean, and South America from points north.

21. Islamic Interpretation of Bermuda
Triangle
21

22. There is a place where Dajjal
(antichrist) is supposed to be residing
in chains, only to emerge when the
time has come. A hadith in Shahi
Muslim which speaks of a person who
had met Dajjal and reported the
incident to the Prophet. It maybe that
this is the same place. But let me
remind you that this cannot be verified
and it is only my personal view which
cannot be taken as 100% true.
Shahi Muslim 41:7028
22

23. Tamim Dari, a Christian, who came and accepted Islam narrated
that he had sailed in a ship along with thirty men of Bani Lakhm
and Bani Judham and had been tossed by waves in the ocean for
a month. Then these (waves) took them (near) the land within the
ocean (island) at the time of sunset. They sat in a small side-boat
and entered that Island. There was a beast with long thick hair
(and because of these) they could not distinguish his face from
his back. They said: Woe to you, who can you be? Thereupon it
said: I am al-Jassasa. They said: What is al-Jassasa? And it said:
O people, go to this person in the monastery as he is very much
eager to know about you. He (the narrator) said: When it named a
person for us we were afraid of it lest it should be a Devil. Then
we hurriedly went on till we came to that monastery and found a
well-built person there with his hands tied to his neck and having
iron shackles between his two legs up to the ankles 23

24. We said: Woe be upon thee, who are you? And he said: You
would soon come to know about me, but tell me who are you.
We said: We are people from Arabia and we embarked upon
a boat but the sea-waves had been driving us for one month
and they brought as near this island. We got Into the side-
boats and entered this island and here a beast met us with
profusely thick hair and because of the thickness of his hair
his face could not be distinguished from his back. We said:
Woe be to thee, who are you? It said: I am al-Jassasa. We
said: What is al-Jassasa? And it said: You go to this very
person in the monastery for he is eagerly waiting for you to
know about you. So we came to you in hot haste fearing that
might be the Devil.
24

25. He (that chained person)said:
Tell me about the date-palm trees of Baisan. We said: About what
aspect of theirs do you seek information? He said: I ask you
whether these trees bear fruit or not. We said: Yes Thereupon he
said: I think these would not bear fruits. He said: Inform me about
the lake of Tabariyya? We said: Which aspect of it do you want to
know? He said: Is there water in it? They said: There is abundance
of water in it. Thereupon he said: I think it would soon become dry.
He again said: Inform me about the spring of Zughar. They said:
Which aspect of it you want to know? He (the chained person)
said: Is there water in it and does it irrigate (the land)? We said to
him: Yes, there is abundance of water in it and the inhabitants (of
Medina) irrigate (land) with the help of it, He said: Inform me about
the unlettered Prophet; what has he done? We said: He has come
out from Mecca and has settled In Yathrib (Medina). He said: Do
the Arabs fight against him? 25

26. We said: Yes. He said: How did he deal with him? We informed him
that he had overcome those in his neighbourhood and they had
submitted themselves before him. Thereupon he said to us: Had it
actually happened? We said: Yes. Thereupon he said: If it is so that is
better for them that they should show obedience to him. I am going to
tell you about myself and I am Dajjal and would be soon permitted to
get out and so I shall get out and travel in the land, and will not spare
any town where I would not stay for forty nights except Mecca and
Medina as these two (places) are prohibited (areas) for me and I
would not make an attempt to enter any one of these two. An angel
with a sword in his hand would confront me and would bar my way
and there would be angels to guard every passage leading to it; then
Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) striking the pulpit with
the help of the end of his staff said: This implies Taiba meaning
Medina. Have I not, told you an account (of the Dajjal) like this?
26

27. The people said: Yes, and this account narrated
by Tamim Dari was liked by me for it
corroborates the account which I gave to you in
regard to him (Dajjal) at Medina and Mecca.
Behold he (Dajjal) is in the Syrian sea
(Mediterranean) or the Yemen sea (Arabian sea).
Nay, on the contrary, he As In the east, he is in
the east, he is in the east, and he pointed with his
hand towards the east. I (Fatima bint Qais) said: I
preserved It In my mind (this narration from
Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him).

 Human error.
29

30. STRONG CURRENTS
 Sceptics chalk the
"mystery" up to the
strong currents of the
region, the gulf stream
forcing a large portion of
the Triangle's tides to
flow directly north,
throwing many sailors off
course and out to sea.
30

31. ALIENS THEORIES
 Aliens are another theory of the Bermuda
triangle.
 Aliens may have abducted the sailors.
 The aliens took them to experiment on.
31

32. ATLANTIS
 It is believed that the Bermuda Triangle
Phenomena is caused by the Lost City of
Atlantis, sunk thousands of feet below the
water's surface.The energy from Crystals
that powered it cause the phenomena.

33. HUMAN ERROR
 The boats might have broken down.
 Pilots could have crashed into the sea.
 Someone could have tampered with the
components.
