Bermuda Triangle- the legendary area of the Atlantic Ocean between Puerto Rico, Florida and Bermuda, in which, according to many researchers, many unexplained phenomena occur. Indeed, drifting ships with or without dead crews were quite often found here. The disappearances of aircraft and ships without a trace, failure of navigation instruments, radio transmitters, watches, etc. have also been recorded. The English researcher Lawrence D. Cousche collected and analyzed in chronological order more than 50 cases of disappearances of ships and aircraft in this area and came to the conclusion that the legend of the “triangle” is nothing more than an artificially fabricated hoax, which was the result of carelessly conducted research, and then it was modified by authors keen on sensationalism. The same point of view was shared by the Soviet academician L.M. Brekhovskikh and many other researchers. In favor of this “official” point of view, we can add that in reality not so many disasters happen in this “terrible” place; the Atlantic passes through this area great amount air and sea transportation.
“Ordinary” mysterious disappearances were no longer enough for lovers of sensations, so postscripts, omissions and simply deception were used (in some cases this was fully proven), as a result of which the victims of the triangle included ships that sank either for quite trivial reasons (the Japanese ship “ Raifuku Maru, around which legends arose, in 1924 suffered a disaster in sight of another steamer precisely because of a severe storm; the three-masted schooner Star of Peace was instantly sent to the bottom by an exploding diesel engine), or far from the Bermuda region (German bark "Freya" in 1902 the press "moved" from Pacific Ocean due to a coincidence in the names of the area; the trimaran "Tinmouth Electron" in 1989 was indeed abandoned by the crew, but not reaching 1800 miles from the "triangle"), or even not by the ship at all (an erroneous alarm, for example, was raised twice due to half-submerged buoys set by "Akademik Kurchatov" " in 1978).
Real, recorded cases of ship disappearances are unlikely to amount to more than 10-15% of what was reported in sensational newspaper publications. However, in the investigation of these particular cases from the “gold reserve” of Bermudologists, supporters of the “official point of view also did not show a truly scientific approach, and in the 13th book of the same L. Kushe one can find a number of frauds and omissions precisely in cases with the most mysterious incidents.
A number of researchers who disagree with this position point primarily to events that have not received an unambiguous clear explanation. Here is the sudden disappearance, and then the appearance 10 minutes later on the radar screen of an aircraft in the Miami area, and the glowing “white waters” in the Sargasso Sea, and the sudden failure of the most reliable equipment, and ships that were in good condition suddenly abandoned by the crews. Of course, among this part of scientists there is no unambiguous solution to all the questions posed by the “triangle”. For example, academician V.V. Shuleikin explains the fact that ship crews abandoned them by infrasonic vibrations generated in the water; under the influence of these infrasonic waves, crew members can fall into a state of panic and leave the ship. But there are at least two dozen more hypotheses that explain the same fact: from versions of kidnapping by aliens with UFOs to assumptions about the involvement of the mafia in this disappearance.
The most mysterious story so far is the disappearance of 6 planes that occurred on the evening of December 5, 1945.
At 14.10, five Avenger aircraft with 14 pilots took off, reached a training target in the ocean, and at about 15.30-15.40 set off on a return course to the southwest.
At 15.45 (just a few minutes after the last turn) at the command post of the Fort Lauderdale airbase they received the first strange message: “We have an emergency situation. Obviously, we've lost our way. We don’t see the land, I repeat, we don’t see the land.”
The dispatcher made a request for their coordinates. The answer greatly puzzled all the officers present: “We cannot determine our location. We don't know where we are now. We seem to be lost!“ It was as if it was not an experienced pilot speaking into the microphone, but a confused beginner who did not have the slightest idea about navigation over the sea! In this situation, the airbase representatives made the only correct decision: “Head west!”
There's no way planes can get past Florida's long coastline. But... “We don’t know where the west is. Nothing works... Strange... We can't determine the direction. Even the ocean doesn’t look the same as usual!..” They are trying to give the squadron target designations from the ground, but due to the sharply increased atmospheric interference, this advice, apparently, was not heeded. The dispatchers themselves had difficulty catching snippets of radio conversations between the pilots: “We don’t know where we are. Must be about 225 miles northeast of the base... Looks like we're..."
At 16.45 a strange message comes from Taylor: “We are over the Gulf of Mexico.” Ground controller Don Poole decided that the pilots were either confused or crazy; the indicated location was completely opposite side horizon!
At 17.00 it became clear that the pilots were on the verge of a nervous breakdown, one of them shouted into the air: “Damn it, if we had flown west, we would have gotten home!” Then Taylor’s voice: “Our home is in the northeast ... “The first fear soon passed somewhat; some islands were spotted from the planes. “Below me is land, rough terrain. I’m sure it’s Keys...”
Ground services also took direction of the missing, and there was hope that Taylor would restore orientation... But everything was in vain. Darkness fell. The planes that took off to search for the flight returned with nothing (another plane disappeared during the search)…
Taylor's very last words are still debated. Radio amateurs were able to hear: “It seems that we are kind of... we are descending into white waters... we are completely lost...” According to the reporter and writer A. Ford, in 1974, 29 years later, one radio amateur shared the following information: supposedly the last words of the commander were : “Don’t follow me... They look like people from the Universe...” [“Abroad”, 1975, No. 45, p. 18]. In my opinion, the last phrase was probably invented or interpreted later: before 1948, people almost certainly would have used the expression “people from Mars” in such a situation. Even at a meeting of the Commission to investigate this incident, they subsequently dropped the phrase: “They disappeared as irrevocably as if they had flown to Mars!” It is unlikely that Taylor would have used the little-used word “Universe,” especially since even science fiction writers did not think about aliens from there...
So, the first and indisputable conclusion that follows from listening to radio recordings is that the pilots encountered something unusual and strange in the air. This fateful meeting was the first not only for them, but also, probably, they had not heard about anything like this from their colleagues and friends. Only this can explain the strange disorientation and panic in a normal normal situation. The ocean has a strange appearance, “white water” has appeared, instrument needles are dancing - you must agree that this list can frighten anyone, but not experienced naval pilots, who have probably already found the desired course over the sea in extreme conditions before. Moreover, they had an excellent opportunity to return to the shore: all they had to do was turn west, and then the planes would never have flown past the huge peninsula.
This is where we come to the main reason for panic. The bomber flight, in full accordance with common sense and following recommendations from the ground, searched for land only in the west for about an hour and a half, then alternately in the west and east for about an hour. And it didn’t find her. The fact that an entire American state has disappeared without a trace can deprive even the most resilient of their sanity.
To be fair, it must be said that at the end of their flight they saw land, but did not dare to splash down nearby in shallow water. Visually, based on the outlines of the islands, Taylor determined that he was located above the Florida Keys (southwest of the southern tip of Florida) and at first even turned northeast towards Florida. But soon, under the influence of his colleagues, he doubted what he had seen and returned to his previous course, as if he were significantly east of Florida, i.e. where he should be and where he was located by ground-based radar installations.
But where were they really? On the ground, the crew's report about the sighting of Keys was perceived as the delirium of panicked pilots. Direction finders could be mistaken by exactly 180 degrees and this property was taken into account, but at that moment the operators knew that the planes were somewhere in the Atlantic (30 degrees N, 79 degrees W) north of the Bahamas and they were simply in It never occurred to me that in fact the missing link was already much further west, in the Gulf of Mexico. If this is the case, then Taylor may have actually seen the Florida Keys, and not the "Florida Keys-like" islands.
It is possible that direction finder operators in Miami were unable to distinguish signals coming from the southwest from signals coming from the northeast. The mistake cost the pilots their lives: apparently, having searched in vain for land in the west and having used up all their fuel, they landed on the water and sank, while they themselves were searched in vain in the east... In 1987, it was there, on the shelf bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, that he was found one of the "Avengers" built in the forties! ["Pravda", 1987, March 2]. It is possible that the other 4 are also somewhere nearby. The question remains: how could the planes move seven hundred kilometers to the west without anyone noticing?
Cases of, if not instantaneous, then ultra-fast movements of aircraft are already known to aviation historians. During the Second World War, a Soviet bomber, returning from a mission, overshot an airfield in the Moscow region by more than a thousand kilometers and landed in the Urals... In 1934, Victor GODDARD flew over Scotland to an unknown destination, approached an unknown airfield, which in the blink of an eye “disappeared from fields of view”... These and many other similar cases are united by the fact that ultra-fast flights were always carried out in strange clouds (white fog, some kind of haze, sparkling haze). This is exactly the term used by eyewitnesses for another strange phenomenon in which rapid time travel occurs; for example, after walking for half an hour or an hour in the “strange white fog” on the island of Barsakelmes in the Aral Sea, travelers returned a day later.
And in the Bermuda Triangle itself, “white fog” is not such a rare guest. After meeting with him, one day an airliner approaching Miami disappeared from the locator screens... and when 10 minutes later it appeared again, all the clocks on board were behind by the same minutes. None of the passengers noticed anything unusual on that flight; it is possible that a sudden increase in speed will also be invisible to the eye due to “tricks” over time. At the same time, apart from the notorious fog and post-flight reconciliation of chronometers, pilots should notice the dancing of the hands on some instruments and even interruptions in radio communication (they have to communicate with the ground - a place where the normal passage of time does not coincide with the anomalous “heavenly”). Let us remember that it was after the Avengers pilots mentioned that a strange fog had appeared and that five compasses had failed all at once, and radio communication with them disappeared and was subsequently restored only occasionally.
Such anomalous places occasionally arise also because the course of physical time is somewhat influenced by all bodies moving in a circle. This effect, as follows from the experiments of Professor Nikolai Kozyrev, can be achieved on a very small scale even with the help of tiny flywheels. What can we say about the Bermuda region in the Atlantic, where the powerful Gulf Stream swirls water vortices hundreds of kilometers in diameter! (It is precisely such formations that sometimes become visible on the surface of the ocean in the form of white or even faintly luminous circles and “wheels”.) The vortices spin - time changes - gravity must also change. In the center of the vortex (where American satellites recorded the water level 25-30 meters lower than usual), gravity is increased, while at the periphery it is decreased. Isn't the reason for many ship disasters that the cargo in the hold suddenly increases in weight? If the load is non-uniform and the safety margin of the hull is exceeded, a disaster is almost inevitable! To complete the tragic picture, we must add to this the unreliability of radio communications in such places...
Of course, after the first reports about Bermuda “tricks”, over time, new chilling, but not always true, details began to appear in the press... Not so long ago, the American weekly News reported on an amazing incident with an American submarine sailing in the “triangle” on 200 feet (70 m) deep. One day the sailors heard a strange noise overboard and felt a vibration that lasted about a minute. Following this, it was noticed that people on the team allegedly aged very quickly. And after surfacing with the help of a satellite navigation system, it turned out that the submarine was in... Indian Ocean 300 miles from east coast Africa and 10 thousand miles from Bermuda! Well, why not repeat it with the movement of technical devices, only not in the air, but in the water? True, it is too early to draw conclusions in this story: the US Navy, as before in such cases, neither confirms nor denies this information.
But some conclusions can be drawn in the case of the disappearance of the squadron back in 1945. Most likely, in the sky above the Bermuda Triangle, this link encountered a non-stationary nomadic anomalous zone, in which their instruments failed and radio communications went haywire. Then the planes, being in a “strange fog,” moved at very high speed to Gulf of Mexico, where the pilots were surprised to recognize the local chain of islands...
Let's clarify what “at very high speed” means. So, an hour and a half after takeoff, the planes find themselves in a strange fog, where all their instruments fail, INCLUDING THE CLOCK. At 16.45 the planes emerge from the clouds and restore their orientation (from the reports it is heard that they already trust the compasses). According to the airfield ground clock, 2.5 hours of flight had passed, and there was still 3 hours of fuel left. It is difficult to say how much time has passed according to the airplane clock (out of order). It is unlikely that the pilots could answer this question correctly: in extreme situations time perception is sharply different from usual. Only one mechanism can give us the answer - these are aircraft engines, they are the only ones that continued to work normally in the anomalous zone! So, at 17.22 Taylor announced: “When someone has 10 gallons (38 liters of fuel) left, we will splash down!” Judging by the phrase, the fuel was indeed running low. Apparently, the planes soon splashed down because at 18.02 they heard the phrase on the ground: “...You can drown at any minute...” This means that the fuel in the torpedo bombers ran out between 17.22 and 18.02, while it should have been enough until 19.40, and taking into account the emergency reserve - until 19.50. Such a sharp discrepancy can be explained by only one thing: the engines burned fuel for 2 hours more than previously expected!
Here it is, the missing link in the chain of clues! While only one hour had passed on the ground, about three had passed in the white fog!!! The speed of the planes was normal all this time, but to a hypothetical outside observer it would have seemed 3 times faster! Probably, during these 3 hours of their own time, the torpedo bombers, alas, passed the Florida salient with their home base and ended up in the Gulf of Mexico. The pilots had not yet completely emerged from the tenacious clutches of the very thinning fog, when a chain of islands appeared under the wings...
You know the rest. Taylor, of course, was able to recognize the islands over which he had flown dozens of times. But... I didn’t believe their “miraculous” appearance and, at the insistence of the airbase, again took a westerly course. (Now the “strange fog” had passed, and the flight took place at normal time.) He believed an hour later and turned back, but the inexperienced advice of the controllers, who repeated: “You are just approaching Florida,” completely confused him... Ultimately In the end, the link was ruined by the lieutenant’s uncertainty: he feverishly changed the direction of movement several times, following either to the northeast at a course of 30 degrees, then to the east (90), then, at the request of the dispatchers, to the west (270). The shortage of fuel prompted us to make a final choice. Taylor played the toss and... Death won. The bombers, once again almost reaching the saving continent, made their last turn and left on a course of 270 degrees... Away from land...
...Friends of the missing pilots still cannot understand why Lieutenant Taylor ordered, and his subordinates (among whom were more senior in rank) landed on a choppy sea, while they could have searched for land for two more hours!.. The splashdown on high waves left virtually no chance of escape, and yet Taylor’s subordinates carry out this order without a doubt, even though they had just loudly swore and argued with their commander about the course. The pilots could complete a suicidal landing only knowing that the fuel was really running low. Presumably, at about 19 o'clock the lieutenant's plane was already at the bottom, radio operators recorded snatches of conversations between other crews, someone tried to call Taylor through the obvious noise of the waves and did not receive an answer. Then the rest of the voices fell silent... On earth, hope for their return still remained, since no one could believe the fact of splashdown. Another hour passed, according to the calculations of the airfield personnel, the pilots were only now running out of emergency fuel supplies, and everyone was waiting for a miracle... Finally, 20 o'clock came, it became clear that the wait was in vain... Bright lights on the landing strip, which could be seen for tens of miles, were burning some more time.
Finally, at 21:00, someone in the control room silently turned the switch... The pilots, of course, were still alive at that moment. Most likely, after the planes sank, they were in the water in their life jackets. But an overnight storm guaranteed demolition work. Extensive experience of maritime disasters suggests that most likely the pilots, who were not found by anyone, were able to withstand the cold waves until about midnight...
At midnight, 2,500 kilometers from this place in Mount Vernon (New York), as if from a sudden blow, Joan POWERS and her one and a half year old daughter woke up simultaneously. Joan immediately understood the reason for her nightmare and decided to do something she had never done before - call her husband at the air base. It took about 2 hours to find out the phone number and connect. At exactly 2:00 a.m. the phone rang in Fort Lauderdale. The officer on duty who answered the phone turned purple and, stuttering, replied: “Don’t worry, but we can’t call your husband, Captain Edward Powers, he’s on a flight now...” The man who turned off the lights on the runway 5 hours ago and did not dare to pronounce the verdict out loud. Joan learned the truth about her husband only in the morning from an emergency radio news broadcast...
Perhaps the same anomalous zone that confused Taylor, and Powers, and everyone else, did not miss the twin-engine flying boat Marine Mariner that disappeared without a trace, the same one that fearlessly went in search of the Avengers. The seaplane radio operator's last words were about “strong winds at an altitude of 1800 meters”... Although the reason may be more prosaic, someone in the flight area of this boat saw a bright flash in the sky. Explosion?.. Together with the crew of the flying boat, the number of victims of the “triangle” that evening was 27 people...
...When the hypothesis described above took on more or less harmonious outlines, it was decided to introduce one of the direct participants in those events to her. The already mentioned Don POOLE, at that time already an 82-year-old lieutenant colonel and retired, lived in Florida. Any answer was expected, but this... “Everything described may be interesting, but according to you, it turns out that the planes fell in the Gulf of Mexico, in fact, they were recently found in the Atlantic, just 10 miles from their home base of Fort Lauderdale! Relatives of the victims say that it would not have been better: it is bitter to know that the pilots died literally on the doorstep, one minute into the flight! So the topic is closed. First they found 4 planes, then a fifth one was discovered - with number 28. It was Taylor's number! Yes, that’s how they flew: “Twenty-eighth” Taylor in front, followed by four wingmen...” This is news! True, it is not at all clear why the 19th unit fell into the water in that area, why in this case they were hard to hear on the radio, 10 miles (18 km) away they should have been heard as if from the next room... Something was missing in a new solution to the mystery, it was necessary to find out additional details...
In 1991, the Deep Sea search vessel of the Scientific Secure Project company, northeast of Fort Lauderdale, was searching for a sunken Spanish galleon containing gold. The crew on deck joked about the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle, someone cackled, remembering various stories, including the missing torpedo bombers. Therefore, when the message “There are torpedo bombers below us” came, everyone took it as a joke. These were 4 “Avengers” lying in formation at a depth of 250 meters, the fifth with number 28 was located a mile from the rest. The four seemed to be slightly behind the leading “28th” aircraft (I can’t help but remember the version that Taylor’s last words were: “Don’t get closer, they look like...”).
The archives were immediately brought up. It turned out that for all the time in Atlantic Ocean 139 Avenger-type aircraft fell into the water, but a group of five aircraft went missing only once in December 1945. Skeptics also decided to check: could planes fall into the water from an aircraft carrier in this area? Similar records were also not found in the archives, but soon there was no need to search for them; more detailed photographing of the finds proved that the planes actually landed on water: their propeller blades were bent and the cockpit lights were open. No bodies were found in the cabins. No one had any doubts that this was the missing 19th flight, especially since on two sides there were also the letters “FT” - this is how the aircraft based at the Fort Lauderdale base were designated. The US government, navy and SSP immediately began a legal battle over ownership of the find, while relatives of the victims demanded that the planes be left alone. The discoverer of the Avengers, Hawks, said in one of his last interviews: “We will swim closer in a submersible to read the numbers. I'm sure it's them! We have solved the greatest mystery! But if it turns out that this is not the 19th link, then this means that we have created a new great mystery, because 5 planes cannot so easily gather at the bottom of the ocean!..”
But the mystery did not give in... A month later, in the summer of 1995, fresh material arrived in response to our request... A long multi-page article describing the misadventures of the Deep Sea ship, about how difficult it was for the researchers under water, how long it took them to get to the numbers, and how ... were disappointed: two numbers were clearly visible - FT-241, FT-87 and two only partially - 120 and 28. The missing link had numbers: FT-3, FT-28 (Taylor), FT-36, FT-81 , FT-117. Only one number matched, and that one without a letter designation. The numbers of the planes found at the bottom have not yet been identified, and they are not listed among the missing. In most archival records, only the serial number of the aircraft is listed, but since these numbers were written on the plywood fin of the Avenger, there is no hope that the number on the aircraft would be preserved so for a long time.
In short, the mysteries remain open. What planes lie on the ocean floor near Fort Lauderdale, and what or who caused them to come together? And where did “those” planes go? After the failure in the Atlantic, the captain of the Deep Sea categorically refused to go to the Gulf of Mexico in order to read the number of the Avenger previously found there: “I don’t care about planes,” he said, “it would be better if we found a Spanish galleon!”
Do you think that a submarine immediately went to the scene of the disaster on instructions from the government?! No, the government was “suddenly” speechless, probably because it turned out that it would not receive money for the 19th link, but would only receive a new painful problem. You have to explain with a smart expression what is almost impossible to explain, but you don’t want to spend money on an investigation! In 1996, however, an explanation was found; an official commission found that: 1. At the bottom there are not planes at all, but mock-ups of planes. 2. They were specially placed there in order to practice aerial bombing.
Only the most gullible believed such official nonsense. The scuba divers probably laughed until they dropped. Did no one from the government agencies read their reports, where they described the numbers, open lights, and propeller blades bent during landing? None of this could have happened on the mock-targets. If these are models, then they are the ones that flew here in formation. And the pilots probably laughed because making bombing targets at a depth of 250 meters is the same as aiming a pistol at a target located behind the Great Wall of China!
This is how this strange incident ended (from which, in essence, the official history of the “triangle” begins), during which all the pilots of the Avengers and the seaplane that flew to the rescue disappeared and have not yet been found... However, the story itself will never end...
Let us present other attempts to explain the bloodthirsty actions of the “triangle”. Several dozen different explanations have been put forward:
A) The reason is in people’s brains: A-1) “Just a fantasy.” All cases are nothing more than newspaper ducks and fables of travel agency owners... (This version can explain up to 50-70% of all incidents.)
A-2)"Just coincidences." All cases are nothing more than coincidences and coincidences... (This version can explain up to 70-80% of all incidents.)
B) Reason - underground and at the bottom:B-3)“Underwater earthquakes” (based on the work of the Polish engineer E. Korkhov). It is possible that, as a result of catastrophic displacements of the ocean floor, waves up to 60 m high can arise, capable of instantly, without leaving any traces, swallowing a ship of any size. As continents drifted over millions of years, colossal caverns formed in the earth's crust, and during an earthquake, the roof of such a cave could collapse. If the cave is located under the ocean floor, then water will inevitably pour into it, and a strong whirlpool will appear on the surface, which sucks in both water and air... (This version can explain up to 20-40% of all incidents.)
B-4)"Atlantas". Residual traces of the activity of the lost civilization of the Atlanteans (whose mainland “was somewhere nearby”)... (This version can explain a number of incidents.)
B-5)"Underwater civilizations". It differs from the version with the Atlanteans only in that the hypothetical underwater inhabitants live and thrive to this day. However, to fantasize is to fantasize! Atlanteans in the past could become modern underwater inhabitants. In addition, this hypothesis may have a direct connection with the version about aliens... (This hypothesis can also explain a number of incidents.)
C) The reason is in the water:
AT 6)“The Voice of the Sea” (based on the 1932 discovery of the famous Soviet hydrologist V.A. Berezkin). This is one of the interesting and even a little romantic hypotheses. Its author, while sailing on the hydrographic vessel "Taimyr", noticed that if in the open sea with an approaching storm you hold a pilot balloon at a distance of 1-2 cm near the ear, then significant pain is felt in the ears. A study of this phenomenon was carried out by Academician V.V. Shuleikin, it was he who gave it the name - “Voice of the Sea”. The scientist spoke at the USSR Academy of Sciences with a theory of the occurrence of infrasonic oscillations in the ocean. During storms and strong winds above the surface of the sea the flow is disrupted on the crests of the waves; When the wind speed is greater than the speed of wave propagation, the air at the crests is retained, forming compression, and above the wave bottoms - rarefaction. The condensations and rarefactions of air that arise in this way propagate in the form of sound vibrations with a frequency of up to 10 Hz. Not only transverse vibrations occur in the air, but also longitudinal ones; the strength of the resulting infrasound is proportional to the square of the wavelength. At a wind speed of 20 m/s, the power of the “voice” can reach 3 W per meter of the wave front. Under certain conditions, a storm generates infrasound with a power of tens of kW. Moreover, the main infrasound radiation occurs approximately in the range of about 6 Hz - the most dangerous for humans. It should be added that the “voice,” propagating at the speed of sound, is significantly ahead of the wind and sea waves, and infrasound dissipates very weakly with distance. In principle, it can propagate without significant attenuation over hundreds and thousands of kilometers, both in air and in water, and the speed of a water wave is several times higher than the speed of an air wave. So - somewhere a storm is raging, and a thousand kilometers from this place the crew of some schooner is going crazy from the 6-Hz radiation and rushes in horror into an absolutely calm sea. With oscillations of the order of 6 hertz, a person experiences a feeling of anxiety, often turning into unaccountable horror; at 7 hertz, paralysis of the heart and nervous system is possible; with fluctuations an order of magnitude higher, technical devices may be destroyed. In the process of evolution, humans apparently developed a center sensitive to infrasonic vibrations, precursors of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. A set of reactions that should manifest themselves when exposed to this center: avoid closed spaces in order not to get trapped; strive to move away from nearby objects that threaten to collapse; run “wherever you look” in order to get out of the disaster area. And now you can observe a similar reaction in many animals. At the same time, with direct impact on the body, non-specific reactions occur, such as lethargy, weakness and various disorders, just as, for example, when irradiated with X-rays and high-frequency radio waves. A person has lost his high sensitivity to infrasound vibrations, but at high intensity, the ancient protective reaction awakens, blocking the possibilities of conscious behavior. It should be emphasized that fear will not be caused by external images, but will seem to “come from within.” The person will have a sensation, a feeling of “something terrible.” Depending on the intensity of infrasonic vibrations, people on the ship will experience varying degrees of panic and inappropriate actions (here it is appropriate to recall Homer’s “Odyssey”). This hypothesis, in principle, sheds light on the disappearance of sailors, putting forward as a reason, for example, mass suicide. (This version can explain up to 30-50% of all incidents.)
AT 7)"Underwater Ultrasound" (from previous version differs in that the source, or, more correctly, the concentrator of the terrible sound is not on the surface, but at the bottom). A storm occurring in the Atlantic Ocean, according to the elephants of Ukrainian researcher V. Shulga, allegedly generates infrasonic waves, which, reflected from bottom holes (“reflectors”), are focused in certain areas. The colossal dimensions of the focusing structure suggest the presence of areas where infrasonic vibrations can reach significant values, which is the cause of the anomalous phenomena occurring here. Infrasound can cause resonant vibrations of ship masts, leading to their breakdown (the impact of infrasound on aircraft structural elements can lead to similar consequences). Infrasound can be the cause of the appearance of thick (“like milk”) fog over the ocean that quickly appears and just as quickly disappears. Atmospheric moisture condensed during the rarefaction phase may not have time to dissolve in the air during the subsequent compression phase, but at the same time it can “instantly” disappear during several periods of absence of infrasonic oscillations. (And this version can also explain up to 30-50% of all incidents.)
AT 8)“Countercurrents” (put forward by N. Fomin). It is based on the assumption that under the influence of northerly winds and oncoming waves, waterfalls several kilometers high and powerful downward currents are born in the depths of the ocean. (This version can explain up to 20-30% of all incidents.)
AT 9)“Hydrodynamic effect” (put forward by Candidate of Technical Sciences G. Zelkin). Having become saturated with gas released from the bottom soil (this is a product of tectonic activity), the bottom mass breaks away from the bottom and moves to the surface; in this case, an electromagnetic field is induced. Having reached the surface, the gas-liquid volume can rise to a height of several hundred meters. Any ship or plane that finds itself in the ejection zone will be thrown into the abyss; the crew, if caught in a gas cloud, will certainly die. (This version can explain up to 40-50% of all incidents.)
AT 10 O'CLOCK)“Hydrate bottom” is an almost similar version, differing only in the process of release and accumulation of bottom gas. (This version can explain up to 50-60% of all incidents.)
AT 11)"Methane Emissions" (put forward by Sunderland University marine geologist Alan JUD). Perhaps the methane leaking from the bottom is to blame for everything. This assumption, in his opinion, explains the mystery of the disappearance of ships and planes without a trace. In case of explosion a large number of methane ends up in sea water and the density of the water decreases so much that not only ships sink to the bottom in a matter of seconds, but also people who jumped from the ship in life jackets sink like stones to the bottom. And when methane reaches the surface of the water, it rises into the air and poses a danger to aircraft flying in this place... (This version can explain up to 10-20% of all incidents.)
AT 12)"Animal attack." Attacks by giant squids and underwater animals are a reality, but... not as obvious as horror films make it out... (This version can explain a number of incidents.)
B-13)"Monster Attack" But so far nothing can be said reliably about the behavior of fantastic and legendary (such as extinct plesiosaurs) underwater animals... (But this version can also explain a number of incidents.)
D) The reason is in the air:G-14)“Reduced adhesion” (proposed in 1950 by Canadian Wilbur B. Smith, who led government research on magnetism and gravity in the Bermuda Triangle area). It was announced that zones in the atmosphere with “reduced cohesion” had been detected. These areas have a diameter of up to 300 m, according to Smith. They tend to rise to great heights and move slowly, disappearing and reappearing somewhere else. It is also possible that such a zone may influence the human nervous system. An airplane caught in a “low-grip” zone can easily break up. (This version can explain up to 30-40% of all incidents.)
G-15)"Atmospheric explosion." It is believed that with a complex combination of gravitational, electromagnetic, seismic and acoustic anomalies, the usual picture of the existence of the air environment is distorted; under these conditions, a downdraft can suddenly form, with a speed of up to several hundred meters per second and capable of leading to the death of any ship or aircraft. (This version can explain up to 30-50% of all incidents.)
G-16)“Reverse tornado” (put forward by A. Pozdnyakov). It is based on reports of giant whirlpools observed in the Bermuda Triangle with a diameter of 150-200 km, a depth of 500 meters, and a rotation speed of up to 0.5 m per second. It is assumed that as a result of a specific distribution of flows in the atmosphere, a so-called “anti-tornado” may arise, in which the air flow rushes not from top to bottom, but from bottom to top. In this case, a whirlpool appears on the surface of the ocean. According to Pozdnyakov, strong electromagnetic fields, which distort the operation of instruments and compasses. (This version can explain up to 10-30% of all incidents.)
G-17)“Natural laser” (put forward by K. Anikin). The scientist believes that under certain conditions the Sun can be considered as a source of pumping, the smooth surface of the ocean and the upper layers of the atmosphere as reflectors of light waves, and moving air currents as an active medium. In this way, elements of a laser device are allegedly created. The action of such a laser could theoretically lead not only to damage, but also to the evaporation of ships and aircraft. (This version can explain up to 20-40% of all incidents.)
D) The reason is in physical fields:D-18)“Magnetic anomalies” (put forward by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences A. Elkin). It is assumed that the magnetic anomaly that periodically occurs here leads to disruption of the normal operation of instruments, primarily the compass, resulting in loss of orientation and a significant deviation from the course. Perhaps the remains of the missing ships and aircraft are not found because the search work is being carried out far away. Statistics show that ships and planes mostly disappear during full moons and periods of greatest precessional forces; and the magnetic anomaly arises as a result of the movement of ionized magma in the bowels of the earth, caused in turn by lunar-solar tides... (This version can explain up to 30-50% of all incidents.)
D-19)“Ocean electric current” (proposed by E. Alftan, Candidate of Technical Sciences). Increased electrical conductivity is proposed as the cause of the anomalies in the Bermuda Triangle. This version is supported by sharp changes in depth on the ocean floor, the structure of the bottom and the “thinned” earth’s crust in the Puerto Rican Trench. It is assumed that the magnetic anomaly is “combined with natural electric field, which permeates the oceans, generates movements large masses water. The death of people is explained by the impact on the human body of fluctuations in electric and magnetic fields, which are caused by sharp shifts of rocks that block or narrow conductive areas of the ocean floor.
D-20)“Electric discharge energy” (put forward by Alexander Petrovich NEVSKY, an employee of the TsNIIMash near Moscow). In his works, he examined the mechanism of formation of an electric charge on cosmic bodies moving in the Earth's atmosphere and carried out specific calculations of the potential value on such a body relative to the surface of the planet. He argues that at high cosmic velocities for large bodies, the potentials reach such enormous values that there is a real possibility of breakdown of the multi-kilometer gap between the moving body and the earth's surface, and the main part of the meteorite energy (due to the physical features of the process) goes into the energy of an electric discharge explosion (EDE). ). In the Bermuda Triangle, in his opinion, “electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from such a discharge disabled all devices (moreover, it could even affect the electrical power networks of aircraft). After the impact of the EMP, a few tens of seconds later, a shock wave from the EMR reached the group of planes, which destroyed them”... A. Nevsky did not explain why after the “destructive blow” the planes flew for several hours; According to his theory, the situation is even more complicated with ships (their structure is incomparably more durable). But, Nevsky argues, since the ship is a kind of “tip” on the surface of the sea, it is natural that under certain conditions “it is a voltage concentrator, leading to a predominant breakdown specifically at it. If a strong discharge strikes the ship, then the ship will practically be destroyed”... (This version can explain up to 10-20% of all incidents.)
D-21)“Gravity anomaly” (based on a decrease in sea level recorded by American astronauts in the central part of the Bermuda Triangle by 25 m relative to general level World Ocean). It is assumed that gravitational disturbances are unstable, and under certain conditions can lead to instantaneous catastrophic drops in water levels, followed by an equally rapid return to the original state. Thus, a giant whirlpool appears, capable of swallowing any ship, and a temporary distortion of the air environment above this area (“air pocket”), leading to the death of aircraft. (This version can explain up to 30-50% of all incidents.)
E) The reason is in space:
E-22)"Alien abductions." Direct intervention of aliens in all known cases of ship abductions is, of course, possible, but it is absolutely fantastic... (This version can explain a number of incidents.)
E-23)"Alien Interference." But a number of ufologists believe that there may be signaling equipment installed on the seabed, powered by a powerful source of energy, which serves as a beacon for UFOs. It is this equipment that periodically disrupts the operation of navigation devices and has a direct or indirect detrimental effect on the human body. (This version can explain a number of incidents.)
E-24)"Time trap." It is assumed that a space-time trap has been created in the Bermuda Triangle, in which time flows at a different speed. A ship or plane, entering such an area, ceases to exist in our world and is transported to the Future, Past or Paraworld [more about this theory - Chernobrov V. “Secrets of Time”, M., AST-Olympus, 1999; Chernobrov V. “Secrets and paradoxes of Time”, M., Armada, 2001]. So, they say that in 1993, a fishing boat allegedly disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle with 3 fishermen who were considered dead; The fishermen showed up a year later and said that during a storm, when their damaged ship began to sink, they were saved by a ship whose crew was dressed in ancient clothes and spoke Old English. For the fishermen themselves, the incident took place within a few days. There are many similar (fictional and non-fictional) stories in which people from the past appear sailing ships, submarines and airplanes... (This version can explain up to 40-60% of all incidents.)
E-25)"Black hole". Such a local gravitational anomaly that sucks in ships (but where is it “based”? and why doesn’t it always “work”?)... (This version can explain up to 20-40% of all incidents.)
E-26)“Non-existent universe” (put forward in 2000 by contactee Leonid RUSAK). According to him, “due to emerging magnetic disturbances in this area, military aircraft moved into the time interval of the formation of the Non-Existent Universe, where continents, seas and islands have largely different outlines. The transition of the Avengers crews was complete: the pilots saw off the coast of Florida not the water of the Arcturian world, but a fog-like Substance consisting of single silicon atoms, always present in water and not disappearing into Otherness... But when the planes, falling through the whitish fog of silicon, landed on firmament, then it turned out to be earth existing in the interval of the Non-Existent Universe. But later, as soon as they were under a layer of silicon, they were not affected by magnetic disturbances and began to move into the time interval of the Arcturian world of Real. It was then that the water of our Arcturian world filled with a dense mass the volume occupied by the “whitish fog,” accelerating the outcome of the tragedy...” (This version can explain a number of incidents.)
But it is quite difficult to verify any of the hypotheses put forward (including about the terrible “Voice”); Let us recall that real, recorded cases of ship disappearances are unlikely to amount to more than 10-15% of what was reported in sensational newspaper publications, and information about these truly inexplicable disappearances can be extremely scanty (by definition).
One thing is indisputable and irrefutable - the Bermuda Triangle remains the greatest fear, the greatest miracle, the greatest deception and the greatest hope for a solution in the history of the study of anomalous zones in the world. The fear of Bermuda was almost entirely invented by man himself, and this has not made it any easier for past and (possibly) future victims...
Travel to the Bermuda Triangle:
getting here is both simple and difficult. Simply because the conventional borders of the triangle come close to the resorts of Florida and Cuba (it’s enough to take a ticket and soak up the beaches with the warm water of the Bermuda Triangle “caressing your body”). It’s difficult because it’s not known where exactly, at what point in this area of the Atlantic, you need to get to in order to become a witness or participant in events that add to the terrible statistics. Maybe, and fortunately for most.
Bermuda Triangle. Devil's Den
December 5, 1945. A flight of US Navy Avenger torpedo bombers takes off from a base in Fort Lauderdale. Routine training sortie: aircraft must drop training torpedoes at a simulated target. On the shore they are waiting for confirmation from the Avengers that they are ready to land, but an alarming message arrives: “We are in an emergency situation, obviously we have lost our course. We don’t see the earth, I repeat, we don’t see the earth... We don’t know where the west is, we don’t see the Sun! Fog, white fog! Don't follow me! They look like people from the Universe...” The controllers are watching: the Avengers pilots are rushing around in search of land. They change course so often that it is impossible to fix their position. Fuel is running low. Two Mariner flying boats are sent to help the torpedo bombers, one of which does not return to shore... For what reason did the instruments of five aircraft fail? What kind of mysterious fogs at an altitude of two kilometers hid the Sun from the pilots for three hours? And what people from the Universe did Captain Taylor talk about in his last moments of life? There are about a hundred hypotheses with which people try to explain the mysterious phenomenon of the Bermuda Triangle. The film "The Devil's Den" will tell only about some of them. And, perhaps, thereby making a radical revolution in the perception of the planet on which we live...
A mystery that remains unknown to theorists and scientists. A place where people go missing not alone, but in crews and teams. Experienced sailors and pilots refuse to take tourists to these parts. However, one must be a desperate extreme sportsman to dare such a thing. dangerous journey. They say that not a single victim of the anomalous zone has ever managed to get out of there or even send a radio distress signal.
It's about about the Bermuda Triangle. And although the hot and desirable Bermuda Islands are nearby, yachts with tourists do not go through the mystical anomalous zone. This may have been done for safety reasons due to the rapidly changing weather conditions and situations on the water. Or perhaps local sailors believe in the unearthly power of the mysterious Triangle and do not want to pay with their lives for a dangerous cruise.
Some supporters of purely reliable facts deny the anomaly of this place. Allegedly, ships and planes are disappearing all over the world, but the attention of the majority is constantly focused only on the Bermuda Triangle. Yes this is true. However, in this zone there are hundreds of missing pilots, ship crews and groups of tourists.
And here the thought reluctantly creeps in about why not a single SOS alarm has been recorded. The mysterious zone hides many things that will be a source of discussion for a long time. ordinary people, and experienced researchers. But whether these discussions will lead to a concrete answer remains a mystery.
Bermuda Triangle - what is known
Where no tourist should go is the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, or rather, an imaginary triangle with corners from Florida, Puerto Rico and, in fact, Bermuda. Be careful because... it is not marked in any way on the map and you can only navigate by photos on the Internet. After all, this zone is called the Bermuda Triangle, which does not spare those desperate who challenge it.
The weather here seems to warn of danger. For a calm sunny day in half an hour gives way to a force seven storm, hurricane winds, thunderstorms and fog. Such weather “changes” are caused by frequent cyclones, which are attracted here like a magnet, which, again, leads to specific questions.
Underwater, the Devil's Triangle (another name for Bermuda) has a mountainous terrain with hills up to 200 meters high. The bottom is covered with a layer of loose chalk rocks up to 5000 meters thick. Because of this, searching for sunken ships is considered futile. The depth of the deadly depression of the “devil sea” is 8000 meters. It is unlikely that the remains of the missing objects will be found there. This anomalous place contains the deepest point of the Atlantic Ocean.
Some explain the anomaly of this place by the intervention of alien creatures. As adherents of this theory say, aliens singled out this zone as one of the most favorable for selecting people for their own experiments. Few people support this judgment. But supporters argue that fragments of the missing ships and planes were not found, therefore, they were taken by aliens to study life on Earth. This hypothesis is adhered to by ufologists - scientists who study everything about UFOs.
UFO in the Bermuda Triangle area Another reason that paranormal incidents are explained is weather conditions and bottom topography. In fact, the unpredictable weather and rocky terrain could have killed dozens of crews. But blaming nature for hundreds of missing ships and planes is wrong. We should not forget that in the entire history there is not a single case when an SOS signal was received from the “deadly” triangle. This means that either the radio signal was jammed, or the “victim” of the mystical zone did not have time to send a signal due to rapid “absorption”.
Some physicists adhere to the theory of space curvature. For someone who has never heard of this hypothesis before, such thoughts will seem like science fiction or even crazy nonsense. The fact is that a large amount of quartz rising from the water disables compasses.
Pyramids at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle In addition, quartz creates streams of ionized air, which turn into a kind of “magnetic fog.” In such fog, the maximum speed of the aircraft increases tens of times. Theoretically, the creation of such a phenomenon is impossible, because the required energy is equal to the power of 2 billion hydrogen explosions. But this judgment exists.
The popular gas hypothesis also inspires confidence among researchers. According to the judgment, bubbles of methane are formed in ocean water that exceed the size of the ship. When a ship falls into such a bubble, it seems to be sucked under water in a matter of moments. After conducting experiments, scientists confirmed the fact that in this case it is impossible to have time to send a distress signal.
The last suspected cause of shipwrecks in this area is infrasound. When exposed to such sounds, a person does not realize what is happening to him. Auditory and visual hallucinations begin, and the crew of the ship is thrown overboard. The reason for these infrasounds has not yet been substantiated.
The only time a message for help was received from the anomalous zone occurred in 1945. When five American planes crashed at the same time - a flight of five Avenger torpedo bombers - specialists managed to obtain a recording of the conversations between the team members. Before the crash, they informed each other about the failure of the navigation and control systems. The pilots also said that the ocean looked suspicious, and the water changed its color either green or white.
Riddles and secrets
The mystery of the anomalous area is underwater structures that raise no less questions than the Bermuda Triangle itself. They were discovered by researchers who are studying the bottom near the mysterious place.
The buildings themselves consist of pyramids, streets, squares and monuments. It is interesting that on specific structures there are hand-made inscriptions of specific symbols. One pyramid is completely similar to the Egyptian Sphinx. Glass buildings were also found.
As the researchers themselves say, such symmetry is impossible to find in nature. Therefore, the found fragments of the sunken city are considered a man-made Atlantis, which sank 9,000 years ago. Some opponents of any judgments on this matter completely deny the relationship between the disappearance of objects and the mysterious underwater city.
They say that the borders of the sunken state do not coincide with the “devil sea” of the Bermuda Triangle. But the researchers published the exact coordinates of the found architectural structures, and skeptics can independently verify these data.
"Victims" of the Devil's Triangle
Often this mystical place is blamed for disappearances to which it is not really involved. This is done to divert suspicion from the real culprit and at the same time once again remind of the merciless triangle. Yes, there are those who managed to successfully cross the anomalous terrain. But the number of missing people in this area simply makes it impossible to ignore such numbers and stories.
In total, the Bermuda Triangle claimed the lives of 25 ship crews between 1840 and 1999. These are not just small pleasure boats. This figure includes charterers, cruise yachts, frigates, heavy transport vessels and even oil tankers. During the same period, the airspace of the Devil's Triangle carried away 20 aircraft, including both simple seaplanes and military bombers.
It is worth paying attention to the disappearance of the large ship “Cyclops”, the length of which reached almost 200 meters. This happened in March 1918. Fragments of the Cyclops have not been discovered to this day. The disaster was initially thought to have been caused by a German submarine. However, on the day of the mysterious disappearance, there was not a single German ship in the waters of Bermuda. The mystery of the disappearance has not yet been solved.
The mystical lonely schooner "Ellen Austin", wandering in the waters of the "deadly sea", in 1881 claimed the lives of two crews. As you know, this ship was found in the Bermuda Triangle without a single soul on board. Then a team of unsuspecting rescuers decided to moor the schooner to the shore. However, after the crew boarded the Ellen Austin, the ship disappeared forever without a trace.
In 1944, a ship was found without a single crew member on board. The presence of a specific crew was evidenced by the personal belongings of the sailors and captain. “Rubicon” was the name of the yacht on which only a dog was found. The lifelines on the schooner were cut off and the lifeboats were missing.
A 120-meter-long cargo ship also disappeared without a trace in 1950. The search began after a 6-day delay to the destination port. However, there is still no information about the ship and crew.
In total, the waters of the Bermuda Triangle claimed more than 1,000 lives. Traces of most objects have not yet been found, which makes these disappearances not mere statistics, but a real mysticism and anomaly.

Film enthusiasts make short films that are published on YouTube. Releases and reviews are not written about such films, but fresh documentary short films from 2016 will tell Interesting Facts, which you might not have known before.
Let's get this one out of the way right from the start: there really is no "mystery" surrounding the Bermuda Triangle. Planes and ships go missing in the region between Puerto Rico, Florida and Bermuda as often as in any other part of the world.
Moreover, there are no statistics available for this region. Of course, there are many natural mechanisms that can cause a shipwreck, but they are almost never found in the Bermuda Triangle.
Scientists' opinion
Despite the absence of any scientific evidence Bermuda makes headlines from time to time when the newspapers need the next scoop. Scientists are probably already tired of explaining that the “mystery” of the Bermuda Triangle is nothing more than a myth, but, fortunately, reports have recently emerged that actually indicate that this phenomenon simply does not exist.
The famous Australian scientist Karl Krushelnitsky notes that in percentage the number of ships and planes that disappear in this area is the same as in other parts of the world. The Bermuda Triangle is known to be located close to the equator, not far from America, so it is not surprising that many air and water routes pass through it.
The history of the myth
According to Krushelnicki, the myth of the Bermuda Triangle began when several large military convoys - and their subsequent rescue missions - disappeared in the region between World Wars I and II. In reality, these disappearances are attributed to terrible weather and inadequate aircraft equipment.
Some of the pilots who went missing that day also made catastrophic mistakes, such as frequently getting lost, drinking alcohol before a flight, or even setting off without proper aviation equipment.
In most cases, the bodies and wreckage of the equipment were never found, but this is not surprising, given that they all fell into the ocean. Even today, the wreckage of aircraft and ships that have fallen into the ocean is very difficult to find, despite significant advances in reconnaissance and tracking technology.
Speculation and hypotheses
However, the disappearance of the crew, combined with widespread press coverage of the case, ensured that legends would emerge. Although it has long been known that there is nothing mystical or otherworldly about this triangle, there are still many hypotheses trying to explain these disappearances. Some of them claim to be scientific, while others seem absolutely outlandish.
Not long ago, it was suggested that shipwrecks could be caused by bubbles of methane that rise from the bottom of the sea. Although this version seems completely scientific and not mystical, as is often the case with the Bermuda Triangle, there is one problem: there are no methane reserves in this region.
Flying on a plane over the ocean, every time I was very afraid that we would be swallowed up by the Bermuda Triangle. Therefore, to determine its exact location, I had to work hard. But now I know exactly where he is, and that’s where I’m afraid. :)
What is the Bermuda Triangle and where is it located?
I’m sure everyone has heard at least once in their life about the Bermuda Triangle and its mystical feature of drawing flying and floating objects into its funnel. Moreover, the size of these objects can be gigantic.
The Bermuda Triangle is located in the Atlantic Ocean. Its area is about 4 million square meters. km, which covers two climatic zones at once: tropical and subtropical.
The dangerous triangle occupies the territory between the following paradise resorts:
- Miami;
- Puerto Rico;
- Bermuda.
Some scientists agree that the sunken Atlantis is exactly the territory where the modern Bermuda Triangle is located.
Why do ships disappear?
There are many reasons why planes, ships and people disappear without a trace once they enter the territory of the triangle. Both scientific and fantastic.
But, I believe that both factors are at work here.
If you believe that the missing Atlantis rests at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle, then, according to one version, there are portals leading to another dimension. Why not? I fully admit this.
And through these portals otherworldly entities emerge to take away the next ship.
This, of course, already smacks of science fiction, but if we consider this in a figurative sense, then maybe these portals open up due to air masses or underwater currents of the Gulf Stream. That's where the ships get sucked in.
There is another, quite plausible version, according to which giant bubbles filled with methane form at the bottom of the ocean.
Rising to the surface of the water, they burst upon contact with the bottom of the ship, forming a void underneath into which the ship falls. The water closes in from above, and the ship disappears forever...

Like many people, as a child I was also fascinated by everything connected with the Bermuda Triangle. The place where planes, ships, and crews from ships disappeared without a trace. Such stories emanated mysticism...
Is this a triangle?
As I got older I read scientific theories, explaining the anomalous phenomena occurring in this zone. But the air of mystery around the Bermuda Triangle has not disappeared.
In general, cases of missing ships and aircraft were recorded both to the west and south of the triangle (Gulf of Mexico and the northern part of the Caribbean Sea). If we analyze the coordinates of the disappearance of all the missing ships and planes, then we can rather talk about a rhombus.
But I will stick to generally accepted terminology.
Where to look for the Bermuda Triangle
Look at the map and connect the states of Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico with lines. Here we have the desired figure. Its area is quite large - about 4 million square kilometers.
Knowledgeable people say that the disappearance of ships is not surprising, since the triangle area is difficult in terms of navigation. After all, the region is characterized by:
- cyclones that often originate here;
- frequent hurricanes;
- rapid water and air currents;
- many shallows.
Theories and assumptions
I found several more hypotheses trying to explain the disappearance of ships:
- infrasonic signals allegedly produced by the ocean, causing panic in humans;
- giant bubbles of methane bursting on the surface and thus forming a huge funnel;
- magnetic anomalies affecting the psyche of people and ship instruments.
The portal is periodically activated, and ships that are unlucky enough to be in this place at this time disappear into it. And the portal itself is located on an alien ship that once crashed in this zone.
In general, I'm not a coward, but I'm afraid. And I’m very glad that I don’t have to regularly travel in the Bermuda Triangle area!

My friends have been working on a pleasure ship for five years now. Their route runs from New York through Bermuda and San Juan. they say that stories about the Bermuda Triangle are nothing more than a myth. That is, physically this place exists and is even marked on the map, but travel experience shows that there is no mysticism there. True, my friend really wanted to see this place with his own eyes, but he couldn’t understand why he couldn’t see it. He always came out on deck either when they had already passed it or when they had not yet reached it, so he asked himself the question:
Where is this ominous Bermuda Triangle?
And he himself began to believe in mysticism. But, of course, Misha should have just slept less and worked more. In fact, the triangle is so named because it is a place endowed with a “mystical secret” located between three points - Bermuda, Florida () and. I won’t even be lazy and attach a map:
If you draw a line between, Bermuda and, you can see that the triangle covers most of the Sargasso Sea, as well as the line of islands in the southern strip. The islands that fall in the Triangle include:
- Bermuda.
- Turks and Caicos Islands.
- Some Bahamas (Marsh Harbour).
- Berry Islands.
Navigation doesn't work well in the Triangle, that's a fact.. This is explained by the presence of shallows, which give rise to all sorts of cyclones. That is, there may be some glitches in the system. However, according to my friends, no one got lost and there were no hints of failures, although such cases have been recorded in practice.
Distance of the triangle from coastal cities
The triangle is quite large in size, if you sail from, heading towards the Bahamas, and turn towards Bermuda, you are already in the triangle. In the same way, heading towards Bermuda with cubes, Dominican Republic , You find yourself in its waters. Bermuda itself is located further north, approximately at the level of the state of South Carolina, 1148 miles from the city of Atlanta:
By the way, according to my “sea wolves”, Bermuda and the area between it and Cuba are simply an incredibly fabulous place and the cost of a ticket here is twice as expensive as all other routes. A photo of the islands from a bird's eye view looks like this (without inspiring anything other than the idea of a paradise vacation):

As a child, I really loved all sorts of riddles and secrets. I even had a book - “Monsters. Ghosts. UFO". And most of all I was interested in the Bermuda Triangle. After all, strange phenomena occur here that defy explanation. I even wanted to go there so that I could independently determine where people were disappearing to. I was taken off the train that I was going to take there. I didn’t know how far this place was.
Where is the Bermuda Triangle
Bermuda Triangle is in western Atlantic Ocean. This area also has its own borders from Florida to Bermuda, then in and via the Bahamas back to Florida. Self Name took root only in 50s of the last century. Although, according to statistics, unexplained phenomena happen often hand outside this region.
There is also a theory that this location mysterious Atlantiss, A mysterious phenomena occur here because of the crystals that were the source of energy for the city. What happens in this anomalous zone:
- numerous accidents at sea and in the air;
- navigation problems;
- unpredictable weather and destructive hurricanes;
- disappearance of ships and planes;
- curvature of time.
And in 1992 in the center of the triangle was found pyramid, which is 3 times larger than the Cheops pyramid. Although there were no official reports about it. Perhaps these studies are strictly classified?
The mystery has been solved
Recently Australian scientists gave theirs explanation for mysterious disappearances. Problem in natural gas methane, which is located on the seabed. It is released from giant cracks and, turning into a large bubble, comes to the surface. A ship that falls into this trap instantly sinks to the bottom. The same fate awaits airplanes. This theory also explains cases of dead crew - people simply suffocated.
But methane evaporation do not explain all anomalies in this zone. There have been cases when the ship was found, but the crew was not. Where have the people gone? Coastal residents also often notice mysterious flying objects. I wonder what the Bermuda Triangle hides and will it ever reveal its secrets?
The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the Atlantic Ocean where ships and planes supposedly disappear every year and other anomalous phenomena occur.
Also, storms and cyclones occur more often in this region than in others.
On this moment time, there are many versions trying to explain the cause of the mysterious anomalies in the Bermuda Triangle.
Let's try to figure out what the ill-fated Bermuda Triangle is.
The Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle
It may seem to some that the anomalous phenomena occurring in the Bermuda Triangle have been known for a very long time. However, it is not.
Journalist Edward Jones first reported on the mystical disappearances in 1950. He published a short article about various mysterious incidents in the Bermuda Triangle, calling the area “the devil’s sea.”
But no one took his note seriously. However, since that time, unexplained disappearances of ships and aircraft have become increasingly recorded in this region.
In the late 60s, articles about the Bermuda Triangle began to appear around the world. This topic began to arouse increasing interest among both ordinary people and many scientists. Around the same time, he wrote his famous song about “The Secret of Bermuda.”
In 1974, Charles Berlitz wrote the book “The Bermuda Triangle”. He is in bright colors described many mystical disappearances in this area.
The book was written in living language, since the author himself deeply believed in the mystical secret of the Bermuda Triangle. Soon this work became a real bestseller.
And although some of the facts presented in it were very dubious and sometimes scientifically incorrect, this could not in any way affect the popularity of both the Bermuda Triangle in general and Berlitz’s book in particular.
Where is the Bermuda Triangle
The boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle are considered to be the peaks of Puerto Rico, Florida and Bermuda.
It is worth noting that the “triangle” only has symbol on the map, and its boundaries are periodically adjusted.
Bermuda Triangle on the map
This is what the Bermuda Triangle looks like on a world map:
And here it is in approximate form:
The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle
Today, there are many theories with which scientists are trying to explain the anomalous phenomena in the Bermuda Triangle.
We will look at the most popular versions to help you decide for yourself which one looks the most convincing.
Mysterious gas bubbles
At the beginning of the 20th century, a group of scientists managed to conduct a very interesting experiment. They wanted to find out what would happen to the object while it was on the surface of swirling water.
It turned out that when bubbles were present in the water, its density decreased and the level rose. At the same time, the lifting force exerted by the water on the object decreased.
It was also possible to prove that if there are enough bubbles in it, this may well lead to the sinking of the ship.
It is important to understand that the experiment was carried out only in laboratory conditions, so whether the mysterious bubbles are related to the sinking of ships remains a mystery.
wandering waves
Rogue waves in the Bermuda Triangle can reach up to 30 meters in height. Interestingly, they form so quickly and unexpectedly that they can easily sink even a large ship.
Practice shows that the team simply does not have time to react to such a rapid appearance of a mysterious wave.
One of these tragedies occurred in 1984 during the regatta.
The forty-meter ship "Marquez" was the leader in this sports race. While he was in the Bermuda Triangle, a sudden squall began.
The result was a huge wave that sank the ship almost instantly. 19 people died in this tragedy.
Scientists studying the behavior of wandering waves explain their appearance as follows: when the hot waters of the Gulf Stream meet a storm front, waves arise, resulting in a gigantic mass of water rising upward.
What is surprising is that initially the wave height does not exceed 5 m, but very soon they reach 25 meters.
Alien Intervention
According to some people, the territory of the Bermuda Triangle is under the control of alien creatures exploring the Earth.
After contact with people at sea or in the air, the aliens allegedly destroy ships so that no one knows about them.
Weather
This theory is very plausible and rational. According to it, disasters occur in the Bermuda Triangle area due to the fact that storms and hurricanes begin there very unpredictably.
Clouds with mysterious charges
Quite a lot of pilots flying over the Bermuda Triangle said that during the flight they were for some time in a black cloud, inside of which electrical discharges and blinding flashes occurred.
Infrasound
According to this hypothesis, a sound may appear in the Bermuda Triangle, forcing passengers to leave the vehicle.
And although during earthquakes there are indeed infrasonic vibrations on the ocean floor, they still do not pose any threat to human life.
Relief features
Some scientists suggest that the cause of the anomalous phenomena is the relief of the Bermuda Triangle.
Indeed, in this zone on the seabed there are many hills reaching 100-200 m and underwater cliffs up to 2 km high.
In addition, Bermuda has a continental shelf divided by the Gulf Stream. All these factors may indirectly explain the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.
Mysticism at the bottom of the triangle
Recently, traces of a sunken city were discovered at the bottom of the sea, in the Bermuda Triangle area. After studying his photographs, scientists were able to examine various structures with mysterious inscriptions.
According to experts, the buildings represent ancient architecture.
An interesting fact is that among the buildings in the photographs there were also . There is an opinion that American scientists actually knew about this find for a long time, but deliberately kept it silent.
Perhaps in the future we will learn a lot of interesting information about what really happens at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle.
Disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle
It has been known for a long time that not only sea vessels, but also planes disappear in the Bermuda Triangle. One of these cases occurred in the post-war years, and immediately became a real sensation.
On December 5, 1945, five American Avenger-type bombers took off from Fort Lauderdale Airport. From that time on, no one saw them again.
Initially, the flight went quite normally, but later the crew of one of the planes informed the dispatcher that they had lost their route.
Then the pilots reported that all their navigation instruments simultaneously failed. After a while, information was received about a sharp deterioration in weather conditions in the flight area.
And although the dispatchers tried to direct them along the right route, for unknown reasons the crew did not respond to commands.
For some time, planes circled over the Bermuda Triangle, claiming that they saw a certain “ white wall" and "strange water." Then the connection was lost.
The next day, other aircraft were sent to search for the bombers, but this did not yield any results. It is still unknown what happened to the American squadron and 14 members of its crew.
In the early 1990s, scientist Graham Hawkes claimed to have found the remains of bombers on the seabed. To prove his words, he provided photos taken with a special camera at great depths.
However, this evidence was not enough to accurately identify the bombers.
In addition to the very fact of the disappearance of planes in the Bermuda Triangle, many questions remain. For example, what explains the strange behavior of pilots who deliberately ignored the instructions of air traffic controllers?
After all, they could have landed after only 20 km, but instead the pilots turned in the opposite direction.
According to the opinion, some powerful influence was exerted on the crews, as a result of which they were unable to make decisions of common sense.
Ship in the Bermuda Triangle
In 1918, the American cargo ship Cyclops suddenly disappeared in the waters of the Bermuda Triangle, with more than 300 people on board.
The 165-meter ship was last seen in Barbados. The US Navy soon organized a large-scale search operation, but failed to locate the Cyclops or its wreckage.
A version was put forward that the ship was sunk when it collided with a huge wave. But in this case, a lot of things and oil stains should have remained on the water, which was not found.
Whether people will be able to unravel the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle or not, only time will tell.
Perhaps more advanced equipment will help scientists figure out real reasons anomalous phenomena occurring in Bermuda.
