They did offer a few logical explanations for many Bermuda Triangle mysteries.
One of the most commonly held theories revolves around weather. Extreme weather around the world wreaks havoc with shipping and flights. And the Bermuda Triangle is no exception. It’s a home to some of the most fearsome weather on the face of the planet. Could such extremes of weather account for many of the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle?
The first and most obvious candidate is the hurricane. These monstrous swirling masses of rain and cloud create the largest storms on the Earth. 100 miles across with winds of up to 200 miles an hour a disaster for any craft in their path. Powerful storm surges which crash onto land account for many hurricane related deaths. Their power can surprise even experienced hurricane hunters. Every hurricane strength and direction is monitored in detail by scientists at the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida. Despite their efforts Mother Nature still spring surprises. The awesome power of storms such as August 1992s Hurricane Andrew can trump even the best weather experts with heartbreaking results.
Their immense destructive power makes hurricanes among the most studied weather system on the Earth and possibly the most rational explanation for the tragic events occurring within the Bermuda Triangle. Every fact we can learn about hurricanes may help dismantle the triangles mystery from space. We watch their every move here on the Earth. Nowadays satellite technology can warn travelers inside the triangle of an approaching hurricane along with better navigation systems that may explain the recent trend for fewer calamities or disappearances with each successive year. But the story is not complete. The hurricane season only lasts six months from June to November and many of the disappearances happen out of season. Are there other natural phenomena that could be the party to the mystique? Waterspouts, tornadoes at sea are common off the coast of southern Florida and they too can be deadly.
Dangerous and unpredictable waterspouts are too weak to sink big ships or to bring down high-flying aircraft. But they could account for a small percentage of the unexplained disappearances inside the triangle. But what about more familiar weather such as thunderstorms? Have they contributed to the myths of the Bermuda Triangle? Thunderstorms evolve when warm humid air rises to meet cooler air. Regions such as the Bermuda Triangle from witch warmed air perpetually rises are perfect incubators. At sea thunderstorms form rapidly unleashing their full destructive power on unsuspecting planes and ships.
Along with thunderstorms comes lightning – a constant threat in this part of the world. Lightning can be disoriented even deadly but usually larger vessels and planes are protected and can ride out of single strike. Like waterspouts and thunderstorms, lightning appears to offer no more than a partial explanation of the myth. And there are a lot of other factors at work in the Bermuda Triangle.
Possibly helping to explain some of the so-called mysterious disappearances not least among these is the high incidence of drug running and piracy among small boats and light aircraft around the Miami coastline. And yet despite all such logical explanations there is one disappearance that has arguably done more than any other to fuel the myth of the Bermuda Triangle. On one fair-weather day at the end of the Second World War five naval aircraft carrying 14 young airmen vanished without a trace. The disappearance of the US Navy flight 19 captured the public imagination as the greatest of all Bermuda Triangle mysteries.
The scale of this calamity was made all the more tragic by the losing of so many just months after World War II. These young men would become victims of one of America’s greatest mysteries bringing international attention to the myth of the Bermuda Triangle. Wild and weird legends have developed around flight 19 sits disappearance.
Leaving no stone unturned what lies behind the myth of the Bermuda Triangle. We look at the likelihood of mechanical or pilot failures. Could human error and spatial disorientation offer an answer to why some planes disappear? Pilot flying over the ocean can easily lose their sense of position and even confuse which is up and down or left and right. Humans are not designed for traveling at high speed above the ground. Even on a clear day it’s possible to become disorientated and confuse sea for sky. Especially when light is reflecting from the ocean surface, which is common in this part of the world. In mist and fog the problem is even worse and if it is no longer clear which way is up and down it would be easy to fly straight into the ocean.
What about the disappearances of ships? Is it possible that human error could be at work? Some scientists agree that there is an explanation for most accidents. The problem is just human error. It’s a lot of people that do stupid things and to get caught in a stupid area and then they want to blame it on somebody else.
So, the most Bermuda Triangle disappearances are probably caused by freak weather, human error or simple mechanical failure. For some unlucky ones it could be a combination of all these factors.
There is one more theory subject to the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. The Earth is like a giant magnet surrounded by the magnetosphere fields of magnetic force stretching from pole to pole. One effect of that magnetic field is sometimes visible in the form of the polar lights known in the norther hemisphere as the aurora borealis. The fluttering light are by the sun’s energy practices that are swept towards the poles by the Earth’s magnetic field colliding with our atmosphere. It is that magnetic field that empowers a compass, the most vital of all navigating tools until Global Positioning satellites came along. Compasses point the planet’s magnetic north. A location that is rarely aligned with the North Pole is a fact that navigators have learned to compensate for its long been known that.
There is one more fact about the Bermuda Triangle. It is one of the several places on the Earth where magnetic and true North have actually lined up with each other. The magnetosphere over the Bermuda Triangle is changing more rapidly than anywhere else on the planet. In this one respect it means that the Bermuda Triangle is unlike any other place on the Earth and the evidence comes from 400 miles out into space.
So, could the recording of magnetic field decreases offer any sort of answers as to why the Bermuda Triangle has earned itself such a fearsome reputation. Triangle theorists ask if etic field in the Bermuda Triangle has changed so much. Could it be affecting navigation systems or weather patterns if there is a vast swirling storm buried deep in the molten rock below the Bermuda Triangle seabed? Could that in some mysterious way affect sailors and aviators or their ships and their planes? These seem unlikely scenarios. The Earth’s magnetic field has varied greatly over millions of years and is still changing now. It’s hard to imagine how the slight extra rate of change in the Bermuda region could in any way affect navigation. Ships, planes or the people who crew them despite such logic questions continued to be posed by those who would believe in the Triangle myth.
So having set out to try and solve the mystery of why myths around the Bermuda Triangle it continuous more questions than answers. In fact what have we uncovered so far in our search to find lies behind the myth of the Bermuda Triangle. We’ve examined the tragic mystery of flight 19 probably caused by human error. But there is something there but we have no answer. The Bermuda Triangle has held on to its secret. But perhaps that’s just the way it should be with one of the world’s greatest mysteries.
Conclusion
In accordance with the objective of the present research, realized through the performance of the integrated goals, the following results have been achieved:
1. The unusual and mysterious places always attracted the people’s attention all over the world. It was Greek philosopher Herodotus who established he first list of seven wonders of the ancient world which included Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Colossus of Rhodes, Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, Lighthouse at Alexandria, Statue of the Greek God Zeus, Temple of Artemis, Pyramids of Egypt, near the Nile River at Giza. All those wonders were located in the Mediterranean’s area.
2. Our planet is much bigger and includes much more mysterious places. It was Swiss B. Weber who established the list of new wonders on the basis of voting through Internet. His list of New Wonders of the World included mysterious temple of Petra, Ancient Mayan City Chichen Itza, Statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Italian Coliseum, Great Wall of China, Peru Machu Picchu, Indian Tadzh Mahal and others. All these modern wonders are mainly the product of science and technology due to the fact that last centuries were of unprecedented technical and scientific achievements.
3. Within our research we’ve tried to study some mysterious places on the Earth from the scientific point of view. In this research we’ve concentrated our efforts on three greatest mysterious places: Atlantis, Stonehenge and the Bermuda Triangle. We’ve stated these famous mysterious places in order to show the major mechanisms of scientific studies of these similar places of our interest.
3.1 Within our study of Atlantis we’ve stated 4 possible places of interest (Malta, Bimini Islands – a part of the Bahamas, seabed near Cuba and Santorini Island). These entire mysterious places were looked through the so called ancient philosopher Plato’s checklist, containing the key clues for our search. As a result we’ve understood that if Atlantis ever existed it almost certainly wasn’t in those mentioned places.
3.2 Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in England. It is one of the greatest icons in Britain as well as in the world symbolizing mystery, power and endurance. Within our studies we’ve understood that ancient Britons could have built Stonehenge with a little engineering now-how and some simple levels and ramps. The work may have been spread over generations much like a mediaeval cathedrals.
3.3 The Bermuda Triangle is known as the Devil's Triangle or Hurricane Alley. Its area is 450 000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean. On the basis of our studies we may conclude that the most Bermuda Triangle disappearances are probably caused by freak weather, human errors or simple mechanical failures. For some unlucky ones it could be a combination of all these factors. But on the other hand of the problem the Bermuda Triangle has held on to its secrets.
As the main result of our studies we should mention that there are a lot of mysterious places all over the world that have the power to captivate people over many years. Especially when there can often be no real answers at all. Even the greatest historians, environmentalists, cryptographers and paranormal investigators occasionally encounter a mystery so complex that it remains unanswered.
