6 Interesting Theories Behind the Mystery of Bermuda Triangle

So you are so excited to go for a trip to Caribbean and the Bermuda Triangle part attracts you most. You are already know a little about the Theories Behind the Mystery of Bermuda Triangle. When you look deeper into most of the cases, though, they’re much less mysterious. Either they were never in the area to begin with, they were actually found, or there’s a reasonable explanation for their disappearance. There are  bizarre theories like aliens and space portals as well as the mundane explanations. Some Scientists have also documented deviations from the norm in the area and have found some interesting formations on the seafloor within the Bermuda Triangle’s boundaries. So  for those who wants to believe in it, here you go -

Location of the Area – Bermuda Triangle

Before going further lets have a look to this area for your safe adventure. It  is located off the Southeastern coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean, with its apexes in the vicinities of Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It covers roughly 500,000 square miles.

1. Human Error – An error by pilots and sailors

Well, no one  admits his or her mistakes…but we all do it and we know it, and pilots and sailors are no exception. The Bermuda Triangle’s tropical weather and crystal blue water make it prime aviation stomping ground for everyone from veteran pilots to Navy sailors to amateurs looking to play around. There’s a lot of traffic in the area, and when you add in the turbulent weather patterns, swift currents and a landscape composed of a lot of similar-looking islands, it can be really easy to lose one’s way.

2. Magnetic Variation – Compass Malfunction

This theory, proposed by the Coast Guard over 30 years ago, states: “The majority of disappearances can be attributed to the area’s unique environmental features. First, the “Devil’s Triangle” is one of the two places on earth that a magnetic compass does point towards true north. Normally it points toward magnetic north. The difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 20 degrees as one circumnavigates the earth. If this compass variation or error is not compensated for, a navigator could find himself far off course and in deep trouble.

3. Electronic Fog or Time Wrap

This theory came into existence from a single incident. In 1970, Floridian pilot Bruce Gernon and his father were en route from Andros Island to Bimini Island in the Bahamas when they came across a strange cloud that they say grew exponentially before morphing into a tunnel. He flew into that rotating vortex, he says, only to emerge in a thick “electronic fog” with a white haze surrounding the plane. His compass spun wildly and electrical sparks surrounded him. When the fog finally broke up, Gernon says he found himself miles away from where he expected to be – and much farther than he could have traveled in that time, leading him to believe he had passed through a time travel tunnel.

 
4. Methane Gas Hydrates

One of the most interesting scientific theories for the disappearance of ships in the Triangle was proposed by  an American geochemist- Dr. Richard McIver. According to him Deep beneath the surface of the Bermuda Triangle lie pockets of trapped methane gas, just waiting to be unlocked by seismic activity or underwater landslides. If unleashed, the theory goes, this methane gas could bubble to the surface, reducing the density of the water. Any ship in that patch of water would lose its buoyancy and sink perilously. It gets worse: In theory, if enough of the flammable gas bubbled up to the surface and got high, high, high up into the air, it could potentially stall an airplane engine or even be ignited by an engine’s spark. It’s important to note that the Bermuda Triangle is far from the only place on the planet where methane hydrates exist – it’s not even the area with the highest concentration – but it is possible that these hydrates could pose a threat.

5. UFOS

So this weird UFO theory is also important to know before  your travel to Bermuda because when you are in trouble, you have full rights to blame aliens in their flying saucers. Although their motives are unclear, it has been suggested that aliens have chosen the Bermuda Triangle as a point at which to capture and abduct for unknown purposes. Aside from the lack of evidence for this theory, we have to wonder why the aliens would take whole aircraft and ships – some of considerable size. Why not just abduct the occupants in the same way they are said to take people from their homes or in offices ? May be the Bermuda triangle is their territory for their R& D Unit for Earth operations and when someone enters there, they get upset.

6. Submerged city of Atlantis

If you believe Atlantis once lay deep beneath the Bermuda Triangle argue that the remnants of the intense energy crystals that were once used to fuel the city are now interfering with airplane and ship electronics, causing them to go haywire.  Dr. Ray Brown in 1970 while scuba diving near the Bari Islands in the Bahamas. Brown says that he came upon a pyramid-like structure with a smooth, mirror-like stone finish. Swimming inside, he found the interior to be completely free of coral and algae, and was illuminated by some unknown light source. In the center was a sculpture of human hands holding a four-inch crystal sphere, above which was suspended a red gem at the end of a brass rod.
Well, if it is so then where are the pics??
