The first use of the term was in a 1964 article with a similar theme that was published in 'Argosy' by Vincent Gaddis called 'The Deadly Bermuda Triangle'. Then in 1974, two books were published, 'The Bermuda Triangle' by Charles Berlits and 'The Devil's Triangle' by Richard Winer. These books turned out to be very popular and the idea caught on, making this an excellent subject to sell books and magazines. These two books were the source for the popular terms.

The triangle isn't a physical or natural formation, it was made with a map, a ruler, and a pencil by the authors writing on the subject. The exact location varies from author to author. Don't forget that every cruise ship that sails out of Miami, sails into the 'triangle, and all the tourists (hundreds of thousands of them) visit Bermuda, Peurto Rico, Miami, and most of the Bahamas every year on planes and ships that pass through the 'triangle'.

The Bermuda Triangle was formed by someone with a map, a ruler, a pencil, and an overactive imagination.

Someone realised at a certain moment that the area where many disappearances were reported resembled a "triangle" on the map.

The popular fishing commentator Vincent (Gadabout) Gaddis, the linguist Charles Berlitz, and so-called Sleeping Prophet Edgar Cayce all pushed the idea in literary form, in the case of Mr. Cayce- posthumous re-writings about Atlantis. the radio announcer and disc-jockey Roby Yonge ( not Ruby Young!) also did his bit at popularizing the mysterious Triangle.

It was "found" (so to speak) in the 1950s. It is very much a manufactured mystery. Basically, if you pick out a huge area of busy ocean with lots of storms, you can claim an awful lot of vanished ships, and that was all "reporters" needed to pick out an area and say it was mysteriously dangerous, when it really isn't.

The reason the Bermuda Triangle is located where it is now is because that is where disappearances of ships and planes are said to take place. Nobody actually laid out the borders, like they did for continents or countries, that was just where it was.
