The Bermuda Triangle is an area of ocean where many planes, ships, and boats have gone missing without a trace. Craft that venture into the area are sometimes never heard from again. Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico form the points of the Triangle.
But vessels vanish all over the world, and so the Triangle is nothing special. A lot of the vanishings never happened at all, and a lot of them are not known to have vanished in the area. For example, the "Flight 19" listed below... no one knows where they vanished, so no one knows they vanished in the Triangle. The Bermuda Triangle is what I like to call a "Manufactured Mystery", something dreamed up to sell papers and books and such.

The Bermuda Triangle is an area of the western Atlantic Ocean, in the shape of a triangle with its points at Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico. A number of planes and watercraft have disappeared in this area, and some have speculated that alien or supernatural forces are responsible. However, since neither alien or supernatural forces are known to exist, and natural reasons suffice to explain the mystery, such forces make a bad excuse for an explanation.
One of the oddest cases occurred in December, 1945, when "Flight 19", a group of five US Navy torpedo bombers, became lost in the ocean off Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Despite an intensive search, all five planes, carrying 14 airmen, disappeared without a trace. During the search, a Catalina PBM flying boat also disappeared with its crew of 13, although there is evidence that this larger craft accidentally exploded in flight and crashed. The available evidence makes it clear that the lead pilot simply got confused as to whether he was east or west of Florida. He thought he was west, and so kept moving east. One of his students was heard to say that if they would just head west they would get home. Unfortunately, no one listened. A men's magazine made up a set of wild "messages" supposedly sent by the doomed flight, including, "They look like they're from outer space, don't come after me". No such messages were sent in real life.
The hardest part people have understanding Flight 19 is how did they all get lost? Simple; they were all in formation with the same amount of fuel, so they might as well have been in one plane.
