Bermuda Triangle - The Devil's Triangle

Bermuda Triangle

Naveen Ramalingam,

                                   
                              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. The vicinity of the Bermuda Triangle is one of the most heavily traveled shipping lanes in the world, with ships frequently crossing through it for ports in the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands. Cruise ships and pleasure craft regularly sail through the region, and commercial and private aircraft routinely fly over it.

                    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 1964,Vincent Gaddis wrote  in the pulp magazine Argosy of the boundaries of  the Bermuda Triangle:three vertices,in Vincent Gaddis  Florida peninsula, in an JSuan, Puerto Rico,and in the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda. Subsequent writers did not necessarily follow this definition.Some writers gave different boundaries and vertices to the triangle, with the total area varying from 1,300,000 to 3,900,000 km² (500,000 to 1,510,000 sq mi).Consequently, the determination of which accidents occurred inside the triangle depends on which writer reported them. The United States Board on Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle, and it is not given on any map drawn by US government agencies.

 Despite  the  fact  that  the Bermuda Triangle has been definitively  debunked  for decades, it still appears as an "unsolved mystery" in new books-mostly by authors  more interested  in a sensational  story  than  the  facts. In  the end, there's no  need to  invoke  time  portals, Atlantis,submerged  UFO bases, geomagnetic anomalies, tidal waves, or anything else.
