The Bermuda Triangle

The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, a patch of ocean which has supposedly caused the demise of countless ships and planes that have passed through it, has puzzled scientists for years.

The Triangle is an area of the North Atlantic ocean between Bermuda to the north, Puerto Rico to the south and Florida to the west. An average of four planes and 20 boats are said to vanish in the zone every year, leaving no trace behind.

As the Daily Mail says: “From sub-sea pyramids to hexagonal clouds and alien bases, scientists and conspiracy theorist alike have drummed up every imaginable scenario over the years to explain the mysterious disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle.”

Here are five theories behind the science of the Bermuda Triangle:

Rogue Waves

Magnetic Forces Causing Compass Malfunctions

Atlantis

Aliens

No Mystery
