Why is Baimuda so magical?

Bermuda Triangle

Among the various strange events that have occurred in this century, the most puzzling one is probably the series of disappearances of planes and ships that occurred in the Bermuda Triangle. .

The so-called Bermuda Triangle refers to a triangular sea area starting from Bermuda in the north, to Miami, Florida, in the west, and to Puerto Rico in the south. On this 400,000 square mile sea, hundreds of planes and ships have mysteriously disappeared here since 1945. Of course, these disappearances do not include mechanical failures, political kidnappings, and pirate robberies, because these do not fall into the category of mysterious disappearances.

Due to the repeated incidents, people have given this sea area various nicknames such as "Devil's Triangle", "Sea of ??Bad Luck", "Demon Sea", and "Graveyard of Sea Ships". These chaotic numbers, in turn, accentuate the unique mysterious and terrifying atmosphere here.

Now, the Bermuda Triangle has become synonymous with mysterious and incomprehensible disappearances.

How come there is such a magical and unexplainable corner on our familiar earth? How come a series of unbelievable things happened? What is causing trouble in the Bermuda Triangle?

< p>1. Missing Aircraft Group

U.S. Air Force Captain Taylor is a very experienced pilot. He has flown the aircraft for 2,500 hours in the air. This flight record is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

On December 5, 1945, Captain Taylor, as the captain of the 19th Flying Group, led the flying team to take off from Fort Lauderdale Airport in Florida. He and 14 pilots flew 5 Vengeance torpedo bombers on a flight training mission.

Everything is fine, the weather is good, this is ideal flying weather.

Their mission was to fly a triangular flight, flying due east over the Bahamas, then flying north, and then returning along the last edge of the triangle.

When the flight team passed over the Bahamas, the base suddenly received a report from Lieutenant Taylor and pilot Powers that the compass was malfunctioning and they could not figure out their altitude. As the footage arrived, the signals received by the base headquarters were getting worse and worse, and it seemed that all the pilots were panicking. Of course the headquarters was also panicked.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the command headquarters heard Captain Taylor's voluntary and trembling call:

"An abnormal phenomenon has occurred! We don't know why we deviated from the course."

Command said, "Report your location!"

Taylor: "I can't figure out my position, I don't know where I am!"

Command: "Then You are flying west!"

Taylor: "The azimuth instrument is malfunctioning and the needle is not moving. We can't tell the direction and all we see is the sea."

The base command headquarters at that time. Didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. Because there is enough fuel on the plane to cover a four-hour flight. Besides, Captain Taylor's flying skills are reassuring. The command then ordered another aircraft with normal instrumentation to replace Taylor.

But ten minutes later, the base headquarters received another report:

"Alert! We are now lost again, and we can't see the land... Everything is in chaos, even the sea. It seems different from usual!"

At this time, Captain Letai's voice also came: "We seem to be over the Gulf of Mexico..."

The base was surprised, how could they deviate? Heading to the Gulf of Mexico? At d in the afternoon, these five planes did not know where they were and were still flying blindly. The conversations between them shocked the base and all the instruments failed. Their readings are all different. They can even see the setting sun. If they see the sun, they will correct their course. Finally, a heartbreaking voice came from the base:

"We are finished...starting to sink into the water..."

The radio signal became weaker and weaker, until there was silence. . At this time, the hour hand was pointing to 7:04. Captain Taylor, his 14 companions, and the five planes disappeared from the earth.

The headquarters felt that this matter was incomprehensible and immediately decided to send a plane to find it.

A few minutes later, a "Martin" maritime search aircraft took off at the command. The search plane is flown by a crew of 13.

However, the maritime search plane also disappeared. It seemed to go straight to the missing tiger's mouth, and disappeared quietly without even returning a sound.

In just a few hours, 6 planes and 27 pilots disappeared. It was simply inexplicable. Were they swallowed by the sky?

The next day, the US authorities attached great importance to this incident and conducted the largest search and rescue operation in history. The U.S. Navy dispatched 21 ships, including aircraft carriers, hundreds of speedboats and motorboats, and more than 300 aircraft. In other words, the U.S. Navy used all available ships and aircraft near Florida waters.

Searching every inch of the ocean from Bermuda to the Gulf of Mexico turned up nothing.

According to common sense analysis, if the plane crashes into the sea, it should at least leave traces such as floating oil splashes on the sea. However, nothing was left, as if nothing had happened. The sea is still so blue and so peaceful.

The officer in charge of the rescue said to his superiors in frustration:

"God knows what happened, we can't even estimate what might have happened!"

When After this incident was disclosed, the Bermuda waters became famous. As people pay more attention to this sea area, the incredible disappearance of the plane becomes more and more terrifying——

At 22:30 on December 27, 1948, a large DC-3 A civil flight took off from San Francisco Airport and passed over the Bermuda Sea. The ground control tower once heard the captain's surprised words:

"What is going on? Are everyone singing Christmas carols?"

No one thought about the meaning contained in this sentence.

At 4:30 a.m. on the 28th, the flight also sent a telegram to the airport - "Approaching the airport, lights visible, ready to land." The airport was ready to accept the landing.

But the DC-3 flight never landed at the airport. It disappeared before landing, and of course none of the crew or passengers survived.

A minute ago, he was still in normal contact with the airport, but this disappearance seemed to happen in an instant. It was like there was a hole in the sky, and the plane fell into the hole without any sound.

2. The Cemetery of Navigators

What kind of sea area is the Bermuda Triangle? From the experiences of Columbus, who was the first to sail through this sea area, we may be able to get a glimpse of 300 Some conditions in this sea area years ago.

In 1502, when Columbus traveled to America for the fourth time, he passed through the Bermuda Triangle.

On this day, Columbus stood on the bow of the ship and saw a clear sky and calm sea. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, the sky became dark, and huge waves dozens of meters high rushed towards the fleet like a wall.

The sailors worked together to try to change the course, but all the navigation instruments on the ship failed. The needle on the magnetic compass was not pointing due north, but pointing northwest, deviating 6 degrees. The boat was out of control and was being pushed around by the wind and waves.

Columbus was lucky. After several days and nights of hard work, the ship finally did not sink. What surprised him was that the storm that fell from the sky ended suddenly. The wind and waves ended as soon as they said they were over, and everything calmed down immediately.

Columbus wrote all this in detail in his voyage diary. In his letter to the King of Spain, he also talked about this unforgettable experience -

At that time, the waves were rolling, and for eight or nine days, we could not see the sun and stars... I have never seen anything like this in my life. I have experienced various storms, but I have never encountered such a long and violent storm.

The problem is that Columbus came alive, and his experience was at least one of those that can still be explained. So, what happened to those who did not survive? Of course, it was an inexplicable experience that no one saw -

In August 1840, a French sailing ship The "Locharley" is sailing in the Bermuda Sea. The ship was pulling its sails, and the sails were full, indicating that it was sailing quietly. Confusingly, it floats in the wind as if it has no purpose. People felt strange and rowed boats to get closer. They found the ship to be quiet. After boarding the ship, I realized that there was no one on the ship, but the silk and other goods in the cargo hold were intact, and the fruits were still fresh and had been touched by others. However, why all the sailors on the ship ran away? No one can answer. The only living creature on the ship was a half-starved canary. Unfortunately, it could not speak.

Jiangxin knows exactly what happened on the ship, but everyone is sure that something incredible must have happened on the ship.

In 1872, another strange thing happened on the sea surface in this area.

A brig, the Maria Zelest, floats 100 nautical miles west of the Azores. When it was discovered, there was no one on the boat, and there were delicacies on the dining table in the cabin, and the teacups still contained unfinished coffee and water. The wall clock on the wall moves normally, and there is a small bottle of machine oil on the sewing machine table. All this, except that the ship encountered no wind and waves, does not explain at all why its owner abandoned the ship.

In 1944, the Cuban-registered cargo ship "Rubicon" also had a strange case of missing people and leaving the ship empty in the same waters. As people boarded the afloat ship, only one dog lay alone on the deck.

In 1963, the American oil tanker "Malin Keith" passed through this area. On the second day of its voyage, the radio operator on the ship also reported to the shore: "The navigation is normal, the position is 26 N. 4 minutes, 73 degrees west longitude." But this was the last message the "Malin Keith" sent to the world, and it has since been lost.

No one could imagine that such an oil tanker equipped with modern navigation and communication equipment would disappear from this sea area without leaving even a drop of oil.

The American freighter "One Eye" is a giant cargo ship with a length of 542 feet and a crew of 309 sailors. In March 1918, she was loaded with manganese ore in Brazil and disappeared on her way back to Norfolk, Virginia. The weather was very good and there was no possibility of the ship capsizing by wind and waves. Some people speculated that it was during the war and the "One Eye" was likely to be attacked by a German submarine. However, after the war, people checked the wartime records of the German Navy and found that no German submarine had appeared on the "One Eye" route at that time. How could such a huge ship with radio communication equipment disappear without even sending an "SOS" signal?

In August 1935, the Italian freighter "Lex" The sailors saw with their own eyes the American schooner "Radahoma" being gradually engulfed by the waves. They desperately rescued the drowning sailors of the "Radahoma" from the sea. But five days later, the sailors of the "Lex" were surprised to find that the "Ladahomea" was floating on the sea. This was no illusion, for the sailors of the Lex, together with the sailors of the Ladahoma whom they had rescued, boarded the schooner Ladahoma.

How can a ship that has sunk float on the sea again? People have no way of explaining it.

3. Who is causing trouble here?

Since there are so many strange events happening here, of course people have to ask what is causing trouble here?

In October 1951, a Brazilian ship The warship was sailing on the sea southwest of the Alor Islands. Later, the ship and the sailors mysteriously disappeared. The next day, Brazil sent planes and ships to search. When a seaplane searched the sea, it discovered a huge black object moving rapidly under the sea at an alarming speed. This shows that this is definitely not an undersea creature, and its huge size also shows that it is not a fish in the water. During that night and the early morning of the next day, someone saw a strange and extremely bright light in this sea area, but no one could tell where this strange object and strange light came from.

The memories of those who narrowly escaped from this devil's triangle may be able to provide us with some clues.

A captain of the American Maritime Salvage Company said that he once returned from Puerto Rico to Florida. On the way, the compass needle on the ship suddenly swung violently. Although the diesel engine was still running, it had no power. Waves were coming at the ship from all directions, no horizontal line could be seen, and the ship was surrounded by thick fog on all sides. He hurriedly ordered the engineer to move forward at full speed, and finally broke out of the fog. The strange thing is that the waves on the sea outside the fog are not big and there is no fog. The sailors said they had never seen anything like this in their lives.

In September 1972, when the American freighter "Nightmare" was sailing through the Bermuda Triangle, all the lights on the ship dimmed and the compass also failed. The sailors felt something was wrong and quickly steered the ship west according to the lights on the land. After sailing for a while, they discovered that the ship was originally heading north, but they could not correct the course no matter what. At this time, a huge black object appeared in the sky, covering the stars. A bright light shines into the object. Soon it disappeared again and the ship resumed its normal voyage.

Is there any connection between this black object in the sky and the black object under the water mentioned earlier? Or, are they the same object? No one can answer. All one can say is: This is intriguing.

Obviously, there is a mysterious, powerful, invisible force here.

In February 1977, a private seaplane flew over the Bermuda Triangle. A few friends on the plane were eating when they suddenly found that the knives and forks on the plate were bent. At that time, the compass needle deflected by dozens of degrees, and they accelerated to escape from this terrible navigation area. After returning, they discovered that the tape recorder recorded strong sea noise.

Hai, how can you make a voice?

An old pilot said a strange thing. Once, he was flying at night in the Bermuda Triangle at an altitude of 7,000 meters. At first, everything works fine. Suddenly, he noticed a shimmering light on both sides of the wing. He thought it was a reflection from the cabin glass, but the reflection couldn't be that strong. The bright light blinded him, and he couldn't even see the instruments clearly. The plane was as bright as a transparent glass object. . He raised his head and felt that the sky was so bright that he couldn't even see the stars. He quickly turned off the automatic joystick and switched to flying the plane with his hands. After a few minutes, the light gradually disappeared and everything returned to normal.

Where do the bright lights in the night sky come from? Old pilots can’t answer it, and I believe you can’t either.

4. Various explanations from scientists

Scientists all over the world seem not to allow the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle to continue to exist. They use all the knowledge they already know to explain the strange things that happen in the Bermuda Triangle.

Among the various explanations, the following are more representative:

(l) Magnetic field theory. Among the various strange events that occur in the Bermuda Triangle, compass failure is the most common.

This makes people associate it with geomagnetic anomalies. People have also noticed that the time of crash in the Bermuda Triangle is mostly at the beginning and middle of the lunar month, which is when the moon has the strongest tidal effect on the earth.

The earth's magnetic field has two magnetic poles, the geomagnetic south pole and the geomagnetic north pole. But their positions are not fixed but constantly changing. Geomagnetic anomalies can easily cause compass errors and cause aircraft and ships to lose their way.

There is also a view that there is a huge magnetic field on the seabed in the Bermuda Triangle, which can cause compasses and instruments to malfunction.

In 1943, a doctor named Xi Sa conducted an interesting experiment with the cooperation of the U.S. Navy. They set up two magnetic generators in the Bermuda Triangle and applied more than ten times the magnetic force to see what would happen. As soon as the experiment started, something strange happened. Green smoke immediately surged around the hull, and the ship and people disappeared. After the experiment, everyone on the ship received some kind of stimulation. Some people returned to normal after treatment, while others became insane as a result. Afterwards, Dr. Xisa committed suicide inexplicably. Before he died, he said that the situation in the experiment was related to Einstein's theory of relativity. He left no explanation, and even the experiment itself became a mystery.

(2) Black hole theory. Black holes refer to the high magnetic field and super-density accumulation phenomenon of late-stage stars in celestial bodies. Although it is invisible, it can swallow all matter. Many scholars have pointed out that the disappearance of aircraft and ships in the Bermuda Triangle without leaving a trace is quite similar to the phenomenon of black holes in the universe. Apart from this, it is difficult to explain why they disappeared without a trace in an instant.

(3) Infrasound theory. Sound is produced by the oscillation of objects. The reason why the sounds that people can hear range from low-pitched to sharp and crisp is due to the different oscillation frequencies of objects. Sounds with a frequency lower than 20 times/second are infrasound that cannot be heard by human ears. Although the cheers are inaudible, they are extremely destructive.

The complexity of the topography of the Bermuda Sea has aggravated the generation and intensity of infrasound. Undersea volcanic eruptions off the coast of Puerto Rico, waves, and fluctuations in sea temperature are all responsible for the generation of infrasound.

(4) Shuiqiao theory. It is believed that the seafloor in the Bermuda Triangle has undercurrents that generally flow in a different direction than the surface tidal surge. Because, someone discovered the wreckage of a ship that was lost in Bermuda off the coast of St. David's Island in the southeastern Pacific. Of course, only this undercurrent can push the wreckage of the ship to Santa Du Island; when the upper and lower currents conflict, a shipwreck occurs. After the shipwreck occurred, the wreckage of the ships was dragged far away by the undercurrent. This is why the wrecked ships were not found at the crash site.

(5) Clear air turbulence theory. Clear air turbulence is a very special type of wind. This kind of wind is generated at high altitude. When the wind speed reaches a certain intensity, the angle of the wind direction will change. This sudden change in wind speed and direction is often accompanied by the appearance of infrasound, which is also called "air pocket". A flying plane will tremble violently if it touches it. Of course, when it gets serious, the plane will be torn to pieces.

Unfortunately, these are just hypotheses, and each hypothesis can only explain a certain phenomenon, but cannot completely solve the mystery of the Hundred Acts. What's more, in addition to the unexplained disappearance of planes and ships, there are also some incredible strange things under the sea and on the sea surface of Bermuda!

5. Never-ending strange things

In 1963, The U.S. Navy discovered an unknown object sneaking under the sea in southeastern Puerto Rico at an extremely high speed. The U.S. Navy sent a destroyer and a submarine in pursuit. They tracked it for four days, but still let the thing escape. This unknown underwater object not only travels very fast, but also has a strange diving function. It can dive to the deep sea below 8,000 meters, making it impossible for sonar to search for it. People only see that it has a tail with a propeller, and Li cannot see its true face.

After the news was disclosed, some people estimated that it might be a Soviet submarine. However, the United States claims that with modern processing and manufacturing technology, it cannot be compared to the former Soviet Union. Not even the United States can build such an object that can travel at high speeds and dive into deep seas.

What is it? Readers can only imagine, because the U.S. Navy Department cannot explain it.

l979. A joint expedition team composed of American and French scientists accidentally discovered an underwater pyramid on the seabed in this area. Of course, this underwater pyramid is by no means a product of nature, but a man-made work. After hearing the news, Charles Berlitz, leader of the expedition team and honorary curator of the Miami Museum, immediately sent someone to dive again with an underwater camera to take pictures. From the photo, we can see the tall and majestic underwater Dajinyu Pagoda. There are two huge black holes on the tower, and sea water passes through these two holes at high speed, causing the sea surface to be rough and the water mist to fill the sky.

It is said that this underwater pyramid is more majestic than the Great Pyramid of Khufu in Egypt. Its discovery led people to speculate that many shipwrecks in this area were caused by it. At the same time, it has brought a new problem to historians - that is, the long-standing debate on the existence of the Atlantis empire has been set off again.

There is enough going on under the sea to make people busy. But what about the sky? In 1981, a group of tourists were visiting the Bahamas.

Suddenly, there was a sound of motors in the sky. When people looked up, they saw a "Mustang" fighter jet used by the United States during World War II roaring towards them.

The tourists initially thought this was an unannounced program specially arranged by the travel company, and they clapped their fists with joy. Unexpectedly, the fighter jets opened fire on the tourists indiscriminately. The tourists ran away in fright, and the fighter jet disappeared into the clouds.

Fortunately, someone took a photo of the plane at the time. The travel company filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Air Force in court. Unexpectedly, the U.S. Air Force was shocked when they saw the photo and said, yes, this plane belongs to them, but this plane disappeared over the Baimu Triangle 49 years ago.

Oh my god, why did the plane that disappeared 40 years ago fly back again? Please don't be surprised yet. If you see the following report, I don’t know what you will think.

According to reports: An old American bomber appeared on the top of a crater on the moon. The photos sent back from space by the Soviet space probe not only showed that the aircraft was intact, but also clearly showed its aircraft number. After verification, the U.S. Air Force found that this was another aircraft that disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle 40 years ago.

Who got it to the moon? What did they want to do to get it to the moon?

6. Japan’s Bermuda Triangle

September 1952 On the 18th, the Japanese fishing vessel "Myojin Maru" returned to the port. They said that "the waves were rolling so hard that they formed a giant dome." The report brought back by the "Myojin Maru" attracted the attention of the Japanese scientific community because They estimate that the phenomenon described by the fishing boat sailors is likely to be caused by an undersea volcanic eruption. The Japanese archipelago is suffering from earthquakes, so it pays special attention to this matter. 3 days later. The Japan Maritime Safety Administration dispatched its patrol boat "Shikine Maru" to sail to this area.

At the same time, Tokyo Fisheries University convened a group of experts, together with reporters from the "Asahi Shimbun", to board the oceanographic research ship "Shinyo Maru" for investigation.

On September 23, the instruments of the "Shinyo Maru" recorded the eruption of a submarine volcano. At this time, the patrol boat "Shikine Maru" returned to the port and reported that a new island with yellow smoke was found on the sea. However, when the "Shinyo Maru" arrived at the scene, in addition to seeing two exposed rocks on the sea surface, the so-called newly emerged island had sunk into the sea.

Due to the increasingly severe eruptions of submarine volcanoes, "Xin Yang Jiu" had to return. However, officials from the Japan Hydrographic Agency began to worry about the safety of another research vessel they sent, the "Haiyo 5 Maru". The ship left Tokyo on September 21 carrying a group of experts; there has been no news yet.

They waited patiently and anxiously for several days, but still no news. "Haiyang 5 Pills" has not sent back a telegram since leaving Hong Kong. The Department of Hydrology and Geography immediately launched rescue work and sent personnel and ships to search. Because the ship carries a group of Japan's most famous scholars, and together with the crew, there are 31 people. Those who went to search came back empty-handed. They said they found nothing except the re-eruption of the undersea volcano. "Haiyang 5 Pills" is missing.

Why can't the searchers find any floating objects on the sea? Why didn't "Haiyang 5" even send back a telegram? There are 30 tons of fuel on the ship, why is there not even a trace of oil in the distressed waters? Are there any?

This sea area is called the "Devil's Sea" by the Japanese. It is located between the Japanese Archipelago and the Ogasawara Islands.

Of course, if it were just this missing incident, people would not call this place the "Devil's Sea".

As early as February 28, 1928, a 6,000-ton American ship "Prince of Asia" left New York Harbor and sailed into the Pacific via the Panama Canal. A week later, a ship named the "Eastern Frontier City" received a distress signal from the "Asia Prince". The signal was repeated several times and then disappeared.

The U.S. Navy stationed in Hawaii used a lot of force to search, but found nothing.

What is the force causing trouble in Japan's "Devil's Sea"? On April 19, 1957, the Japanese ship "Kishu Maru" was sailing in this area. The captain and sailors were surprised to find "two shining silver, wingless, disc-shaped metal flying objects about 10 meters in diameter" falling from the sky and diving into the water not far from the ship. At that time, there was a huge stir on the sea surface. wave. The captain immediately wrote down the position at that time: 31 degrees 15 minutes north latitude, 142 degrees 30 minutes east longitude.

Obviously, flying saucers are suspected. No, except for flying saucers. A mysterious object called a "gleaming undersea wheel" was also discovered in the Far East waters, including Japan's Devil's Sea.

In March 1967, sailors on three cargo ships saw a phosphorescent wheel-shaped object; traveling underwater at high speed, the light radiated from the center of the rotation. Sailors on one of the three ships saw this strange phenomenon twice within a week. Sailors from another ship discovered the same phenomenon in the same waters in October. Within half a year, people observed it a total of 5 times. This sea area is on a straight line from Bangkok to northwest Borneo.

An authority on this kind of phosphorescent wheel, Professor Kudai Kahler of Hamburg, said that this phosphorescent wheel seems to emit thousands of rays of light as it rotates. The captain of China's "Chengdu" cargo ship said that he had also seen a milky white mist-like wave. This kind of wave was 9 meters wide and 9 meters apart from each other. At a depth of 2.5 meters under the water, the waves moved at a rate of 2.5 meters per second. The rhythm of a clock rising and falling twice passed under the ship. This shows that the arm of the phosphorus wheel is rotating at a speed of at least 30 meters per second.

The captain of the freighter "Chengdu" saw two more giant "ships" a week later. The phenomenon observed this time is quite strange. It emits light 5-6 times per second, and its flash illuminates nearly 80% of the sea surface. Although its brightness is not strong, you can clearly see the words on the book.

The captain of the "Glenfaloch" said that he once observed a luminous mist-like pile of sand emerging from a center point 15-30 meters in diameter. He also discovered two giant wheels on the ocean floor, stacked one above the other and rotating in opposite directions.

Professor Kahler said that these "undersea giant ships" are most easily found in the waters of Borneo and the Gulf of Siam (Thailand). The officers and soldiers on the USS "Beaver" also discovered "giant ships" in this area.

Some scholars try to explain this phenomenon with the action of luminous microorganisms in the ocean, but how can those microorganisms form the What about a kind of light radiation that is faster than wind speed and air flow?

The Bermuda mystery has not yet been solved, and the "giant wheel" phenomenon has brought trouble to our scientists again.
