The earliest recorded mention of unusual disappearances in the Bermuda area which is located at the tip of Florida and surrounding islands was in an Associated Press article by Edward Van Winkle Jones on September 16, 1950. It has been mentioned also but not proved that Christopher Columbus remarked that there was something very strange about that area.

Another opinion goes that the popular use of the term to explain mysterious MIA aircraft and ships, many taking off or steaming from Florida- why no mention of Castro Cuba? was essentially popularized by the (original) fishing commentator the (Flying Fisherman) himself , Vincent, (Gadabout) Gaddis, who had a popular television program and was even more effective- as a fishing commentator- and this is essentially a slooow motion sport- on radio! Gadabout had a lively radio manner with a Florida accent. He also popularized the idea of the Bermuda Triangle.. other Triangle theorists and expounders would include the radio announcer Roby Yonge ( Not Ruby Young, get the name right!) Roby Yonge used to pull down the night shift on Music radio 77WABC and would get a little far out as did many night jocks. between the two of them the plot they did steal, That three sided- wheel!- sorry Cupid. Language expert Charles Berlitz got off the phrase book angle and also tried his hand on the Bermuda triangle front, a three-sided frontage indeed. so it goes.
