Welcome To The Bermuda Triangle

What is the Bermuda Triangle? The Bermuda Triangle is also known as the Devil's Triangle and is an area in the Atlantic Ocean noted for the paranormal and mysterious disappearances of ships and airplanes. Heavily trafficked by sea vessels and aircraft, the region covers over 500,000 square miles (over 1,294,994 square kilometers) of ocean area.    

Where is the Bermuda Triangle? The Bermuda Triangle is the area between Bermuda, Miami, and Puerto Rico. Many sea vessels and airplanes are said to have mysteriously vanished without leaving any wreckage or bodies.

Who first documented the Bermuda Triangle? In his four voyages (1492, 1493, 1498, & 1502) to the New World, Christopher Columbus reported anomalies traveling through the area. Columbus wrote in his journals that the ship's compass stopped working and a fireball, possibly a meteor, was seen in the sky.  For fear of panicking the crew, Columbus did not mention the problems with the compass.  

Why do so many tropical storms and hurricanes pass through the Bermuda Triangle?  The Bermuda Triangle seems to attract bad weather on a grand scale.  Fueled by the warm current of the Gulf Stream, the region is beset by frequent tropical storms and hurricanes.  Is it the regional weather patterns? The Gulf Stream supplying heat energy to the storms?  Or something else yet to be plausibly explained?

How deep is the ocean in the Bermuda Triangle?  Few people realize the deepest point in the Atlantic Ocean, the Milwaukee Depth, is in The Bermuda Triangle.  Within the Puerto Rico Trench, the depth of the Milwaukee Depth is 27,493 feet (8,380 meters).  What lurks in the darkness of the trench? 

As a renowned linguist who spoke eight languages and writer of the paranormal, Charles Berlitz popularized the name in his book The Bermuda Triangle.  Berlitz graduated magna cum laude from Yale University and spent 13 years in the U.S. Army, working the majority of his service in Military Intelligence.  

He was a avid writer on paranormal phenomena and wrote several books on Atlantis. In The Mystery of Atlantis, Berlitz claimed Atlantis was real, and claimed to have located Atlantis undersea in The Bermuda Triangle. He was also an ancient astronaut theorist who believed that extraterrestrials had visited earth.
