The Bermuda Triangle

Triangles are a common geometric form in our everyday life such as the instrument, the triangle of road safety, etc. However, one famous triangle is the Bermuda triangle, made famous after Christopher Colombus in 1492 reported something strange in the area...

He wrote in his log book, on October 11th, 1492 ;

"The land was first seen by a sailor (Rodrigo de Triana), although the Admiral at ten o'clock that evening standing on the quarter-deck saw a light, but so small a body that he could not affirm it to be land; calling to Pero Gutiérrez, groom of the King's wardrobe, he told him he saw a light, and bid him look that way, which he did and saw it; he did the same to Rodrigo Sánchez of Segovia, whom the King and Queen had sent with the squadron as comptroller, but he was unable to see it from his situation. The Admiral again perceived it once or twice, appearing like the light of a wax candle moving up and down, which some thought an indication of land. But the Admiral held it for certain that land was near..."

The Bermuda triangle is an area formed by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Miami, named also "the evil triangle" because it contains some of the deepest sub-oceanic trenches in the world, envelops the fast-moving waters of the Gulf Stream, and is exposed to fraquent strong water spouts and violent storms which may be the origin of some boats and planes disappearances since the 19th century.

The 5th of December 1945, the legend increased owing to the fact that five fighter-bomber disappeared. To save them, a seaplane was sent to Bermuda but it also disappeared.

Other inexplicable facts like this one have happened in this area:

In the 1950s, the professor Wayne Meshejian declared that the weather satellite of National Oceanographic Administration fell systematically out of order every time it passed over the Triangle of the Bermuda Islands.

According to an article dated 1974 from Los Angeles Times' journalist Howard Rosenberg, more than 50 ships and 20 planes have disappeared there during previous hundred years and the American coastguards answered more than 8 000 emergency calls in this sector.

To explain this mystery, some scientists talk about spatiotemporal distortion, magnetic fields, climatic disturbances or chemical reactions related to the environment, whereas others prefer to believe in extraterrestrials or the influence of the Atlantis.

The Atlantis is a legends speculating that sunken batteries or crystals from the lost continent of Atlantis still emit energy from the ocean floor. Several people suppose that Atlantis was very near of the Bermuda Triangle, which would explain the strange phenomena.

Some people even think on a gate to another dimension. This is suppported by scientists who make careful observations by reporting strange magnetism and gravitational forces which cannot be explained by conventional physics.

In summary, the Bermuda Triangle is a fascinating area which contains a rich story. The bizarre phenomena leads to lots of speculations but nobody withholds the truth. Several scientists keep on testing the area, particularly in the Bahamas because it is believed that some ruins of Atlantis can be seen in the clear shallow waters.
