Where did the Bermuda triangle start?

The first record that suggested that there was something unusual about disappearances in the area of Bermuda was an Associated Press article by Edward Van Winkle Jones in 1950.

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.

ou won't find it on any official map and you won't know when you cross the line, but according to some people, the Bermuda Triangle is a very real place where dozen of ships, planes and people have disappeared with no good explanation. Since a magazine first coined the phrase "Bermuda Triangle" in 1964, the mystery has continued to attract attention. When you dig deeper into most cases, though, they're much less mysterious. Either they were never in the area to begin with, they were actually found, or there's a reasonable explanation for their disappearance.

Does this mean there's nothing to the claims of so many who have had odd experiences in the Bermuda Triangle? Not necessarily. Scientists have documented deviations from the norm in the area and have found some interesting formations on the seafloor within the Bermuda Triangle's boundaries. So, for those who like to believe in it, there is plenty fuel for the fire.

In this article, we'll look at the facts surrounding what we do know about the area as well as some of the most commonly-recited stories. We'll also explore the bizarre theories like aliens and space portals as well as the mundane explanations.

Many think of the Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, as an "imaginary" area. The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it. However, within this imaginary area, many real vessels and the people aboard them have seemingly disappeared without explanation.

The Bermuda Triangle is located off the Southeastern coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean, with its apexes in the vicinities of Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It covers roughly 500,000 square miles.

The area may have been named after its Bermuda apex since Bermuda was once known as the "Isle of Devils." Treacherous reefs that have ensnared ships sailing too close to its shores surround Bermuda, and there are hundreds of shipwrecks in the waters that surround it.

Is there a portal to another dimension below the Bermuda triangle?

Asked by Wiki User

While it is unlikely, it does not mean it is impossible. According to various theories in theoretical physics the mathematics of wormholes can exist anywhere within the universe - the type of wormhole in this case (needed for travel) would be a traversable wormhole. According to Stephen Hawking - as well as others - this is supposed to be possible only when exotic matter and negative energy density could provide stability for the wormhole. While this can occur organically in nature the probability is low that it would be in the Bermuda Triangle. That being said it could be one explanation for the strange activity witnessed in the area - disappearances and sudden appearances.

Hard to say for certain, I do hope that more scientists and the general public take serious the challenge of investigating these wild premises (and real world applications of them)... I am sure that people once thought that the Wright brothers were mad, but today we know better.

Are there any animals on the Bermuda triangle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Edgar Cayce worked the argument that the Atlantists ( residents of Atlantis) tried to wipe out pesky prehistoric animal life ( obviously Dinosaurs) by using electromagnetic power transmission rays- with the frequencies altered to kill or annoy Dinosaurs- there are sonic pest-control devices, intended to harrass rather than destroy. the results were fatal to both the Dinosaurs-who may have bounced back- who knows- and also to the Atlantists- it is not nice to Fool Mother Nature- or the equivalent in Greek, Ultra- High frequency vibrations triggered tidal waves, earthquakes, etc. good science fiction but one wonders- how did the Dinosaurs manage to survive into man-dominated times in the first place- and in the near New World?

"What is Bermuda triangle?"...are you serious??THEBermuda Triangle is a triangular area of the Atlantic ocean bounded by The Bermuda Islands,Puerto Rico and Fort Lauderdale, Fl. in which several air and water crafts have vanished (or disappeared).I have been fascinated by The Bermuda Triangle since the 5th grade and done several researches on it.It all started with the first disappearance on December,5 1945 of the Naval Air flight 19.The Associated Press dispatched a string of recent events leading up to 1975 when Fate magazine declared there had been 428 vessels that had vanished across the world and only one of them had been proven to have actually disappeared in The Bermuda Triangle.Some say it's a magnetic force field under the water,some say it's a sinkhole,others say it's caused by aliens.Whatever the case may be it is certain to have effected many by it's uncertainty and mysterious stories.There is your definition of The Bermuda Triangle.Any further questions?....Answer to the actual topic question.There has only been one PROVEN disappearance in The Bermuda Triangle which was Naval Air Flight 19 on December,5 1945.Since then there has been none reported accurately or bearing enough significance to have been directed at The Bermuda Triangle.The ones that have been said never surfaced for many to hear about because they were determined by local authorities and/or officials to have disappeared somewhere else and not caused by a certain point in the ocean.Hope that helped.

Bermuda Triangle

The section of the ocean called the Bermuda Triangle is a heavily traveled location; it's been the hub of Caribbean traffic for a couple of centuries. There are 'disappearances' there for the same reasons that there are disappearances in all of the worlds heavily traveled sea going locations. The nature of oceans and seas is very powerful and often unpredictable. Sometimes humans forget that nature is still far more powerful than their technology and intelligence.

Do planes now fly through the Bermuda triangle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The area known as the Bermuda Triangle is an area that has the fast Gulf Stream current and at times it has areas that are calm with no breezes. This can cause boats to be carried off course or sail boats to be stranded. It also seems to have some magnetic anomaly that does effect the compasses of boats and aircraft. This could explain why aircraft get off course and get lost.

What causes the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Possible Reasons for the Disappearances UFOs

Some theorists believe that the strange, unexplainable nature of these disappearances points to UFOs and abductions by extraterrestrial beings. These occurrences first happened at the beginning of the UFO era, and it's thought that while in flight or on the boats, the UFOs come in and disorient the pilots and passengers, and then take the entire flight or boat into their crafts and fly off. The best evidence of this is the pilot of Flight 19's strange comment, "we're entering white water..." which can't be explained by storms, as it was a clear day.

Atlantis

The Lost City of Atlantis has long been considered a myth by most westerners who have heard of it, but some believe that Atlantis used to exist where the Bermuda Triangle is currently located, and that some left over technology deep beneath the sea is interfering with the planes and boats and causing them to crash or sink. Some believe that the Bimini Road, which was discovered in 1968 underwater off the coast of Bimini in the Bahamas, is actually a road leading from the Bahamas to the former Atlantis, which is now resting under the sea.

A Wormhole

Some believe that the strange disappearances point to odd physical properties somewhere within the Bermuda Triangle itself, suggesting that perhaps, somewhere, there is an element not currently understood by man, that causes certain laws of physics to change within the triangle. It could, possibly, be a theoretical wormhole that transports those that pass through it to a different time and place in the universe.

Natural Reasons

Some have stated that because of the particularly rough weather going through the Bermuda Triangle, that it's possible that quick storms were whipped up that knocked planes out of the sky or sank ships without warning. Perhaps because of the quick nature of these events, the crashes and sinking took place quickly, disappearing underneath the service before a rescue party could be scrambled. Some claim that it's simply human error, and at least one author has suggested that the amount of disappearances in a highly-traveled-through area such as the Bermuda triangle was not any more than the norm, and that the Bermuda Triangle theorists are simply alarmists, and that most of the Bermuda Triangle facts that have been released to the public have been sensationalized to sell papers or magazines. Others suggest that the lack of explanation has led other, less malevolent authors, to seek out evidence rather that forming a theory based on the evidence as a whole. You can always find evidence to support your conclusion if you're looking for evidence to support the conclusion in the first place, rather than developing a conclusion based off the evidence.

I seem to remember there is a second problem area, situated somewhere in Asia, near China, I believe, but if the rumour is true, it appears to be less active. Look it up on Wikipedia and try a combination with the word "devil", that's the only element that popped up in my mind.
