The Bermuda Triangle

My name is Brett Shaw and I will be taking you into the unsolved mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.


Flight 19
There are many strange tales about the Bermuda Triangle. This one was about Flight 19. A test run flight, that left from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, went out over the sea into an area now known as the Bermuda Triangle with the plane in ship shape. His compass went wacko and later the plane exploded in the air. This occurred in 1945. This, and hundreds of other stories of the Bermuda Triangle are unsolved. One theory was a simple gas leak, but others include UFO’s! What’s true? Who knows?

Magnetic Energy
In the story of Flight 19, I told you that the pilot’s compass was not working. Well, this has happened to many, many people who have entered the Bermuda Triangle. In fact on December 4, 1970, Bruce Gernon, Jr., set flight to Florida from the Bahamas. He came across a cigar shaped cloud with some sort of tunnel in the middle. He tried to dodge it, but he couldn’t. Then his plane suddenly zipped through the cloud at amazing speed, unexpectedly. When he came out, his compasses were spinning wildly. With this and other information, including Christopher Columbus, scientists have come to a theory that the Bermuda Triangle gives off magnetic energy.


Vile Vortices (12 Devils Graveyards)
Ivan Sanderson proposed the Vile Vortices theory in the late 1960’s. The theory was that 12 areas in the ocean, all equal distances from each other and from the equator, are the 12 areas where the most airplane and boat disappearances have been. One of which is the Bermuda Triangle. This is theorized to be caused by gravitational pull, revolution of the earth, jet stream, or something else caused by extreme atmosphere and maritime conditions.


Time Warms and Other Dimensions
Now this is one of the stranger theories. It states that there are doors to other dimensions for brief periods of time in the world. Many of which are in the Bermuda Triangle. This explains why some people don’t disappear in the Bermuda Triangle. Some of the dimensions have time warps where time moves faster or slower.
Here is a story that goes along with this theory. It is about a aircraft carrier named Star Tiger. Star Tiger went missing, and five days later their radio call came in saying that they are going down, came in.

Atlantis
Some people connect the city of Atlantis to the Bermuda Triangle. Edgar Cayee theorized that the giant island of Atlantis that sank many, many years ago, is giving off energy, and that the energy is causing the disappearances. Cayee thinks that the Atlanteans are living under the water, plucking out samples from the over sea life. This would explain the many disappearances.
Around 1968, there were a large amount of ruins, located very close to the Bermuda Triangle, discovered. This got many people to believe in this wild theory. Some state it more scientifically. They say that a great source of poverty is what caused Atlantis to disappear into the ocean. It also states the remains of the power source are causing the disappearances.

Perhaps the most famous of them was the disappearance of Flight 19 in 1945. Here are some of the other disappearances.


1947: Army C-45 Superfort vanishes 100 miles off Bermuda.

1948: Four-engined Tudor IV lost with 31 lives.

1948: DC-3 lost with 32 passengers and crew.

1949: Second Tudor IV vanishes.

1950: Giant US Air Force Globemaster lost.

1950: American freighter, SS Sandra, 350 ft long, sinks without trace.

1952: British York transport plane lost with 33 aboard.

1954: US Navy Lockheed Constellation vanishes with 42 aboard.

1956: US Navy seaplane, Martin P5M, disappears with crew of ten.

1962: US Air Force KB-50 tanker plane lost.

1963: Marine Sulphur Queen, 425-ft-long American freighter, vanishes with entire crew. No Mayday signals and no wreckage ever found. Two US Air Force giant stratotankers disappear on simple exercise. C-132 Cargomaster also vanishes.

1967: Military YC-122, converted to cargo plane, lost.

1970: French freighter Milton Iatrides disappears.

1972: German freighter Anita, 20,000 tons, lost with crew of 32.
