Bermuda Triangle Mystery

Bermuda Triangle ‘Devil's Triangle’

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. 

So are you looking for the facts behind the mystery of Bermuda Triangle?

More than 1000 ships and planes have disappeared over the past five centuries and continue to do so without any human errors, equipment failures or natural disasters.

Strangely, the ships and planes disappear when everything. Many believe that Devil is at play here and therefore call the area also as Devil's Triangle.   

There are many stories and myths about Bermuda Triangle. One thing beyond doubt is, so far too many incidents have taken place in this area for it to be ignored casually. 

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.

Many explanations have cited unusual magnetic properties within the boundaries of the Triangle. Although the world’s magnetic fields are in constant flux, the “Bermuda Triangle” has remained relatively undisturbed.  It is true that some exceptional magnetic values have been reported within the Triangle, but none to make the Triangle more unusual than any other place on Earth.
