What is Bermuda Triangle?

Overview

The origin of the name "Bermuda Devil Triangle" is that on December 5, 1945, the American 19th Flying Team suddenly disappeared during training. At that time, the scheduled flight plan was a triangle, so people later extended the western Atlantic Ocean on the southeast coast of the United States from Bermuda in the north to Miami in the south of Florida, then passed through the Bahamas, crossed Puerto Rico, and reached San Juan near the 4th west longitude. Hundreds of ships and planes have crashed in this area, and thousands of people have died here. From 188 to 1976, there were about 158 disappearances, most of which occurred in the 3 years since 1949. There were 97 disappearances, and at least 2, people died or disappeared here. These strange and mysterious disappearances are mainly in an area called "the sargasso sea" in the western Atlantic Ocean, which is a wide water area between 2-4 north latitude and 35-75 west longitude. Here is the world-famous Mexican warm current, which is 12-19 kilometers per day and night, and there are many whirlpools, typhoons and tornadoes. Not only that, the depth of the sea here is 4-5 meters, and there is Puerto Rico trench, which is more than 7 meters deep and the deepest is 9218 meters.

Causes

Up to now, the explanations of "Bermuda Devil's Triangle" can be summarized into the following categories: One category thinks that these disappearances are caused by supernatural reasons, and it is associated with whether alien flying saucers are at work. The second category thinks that it is caused by natural causes, such as geomagnetic anomalies, ocean floor cavities, and even some people put forward the theory of bubbles, clear-sky turbulence, water bridges, black holes, etc., and use some strange natural phenomena to explain that "everything is in the devil's triangle." Recently, a British geologist, Professor Kleiner of Leeds University, put forward a new viewpoint. He believes that the culprit that often causes shipwrecks or crashes in Bermuda waters is the huge biogas bubbles generated at the bottom of the sea. A crystal composed of frozen water and biogas was found under the seabed strata in Bermuda. When there is a violent earthquake at the bottom of the sea, the massive crystals buried underground are turned out, and they will vaporize quickly because of the reduction of external pressure. A large number of bubbles rise to the water surface, which reduces the density of seawater and loses its original buoyancy. Ships passing here at this time will sink to the bottom of the sea like stones. If a plane happens to pass by at this time, when the biogas meets the burning plane engine, it will undoubtedly burn and explode immediately and disappear. On the contrary, some people think that these strange disappearance phenomena are not related to each other, thus denying the existence of Baimu in the Devil's Triangle. Whether this mysterious veil of Bermuda has been unveiled remains to be verified by future generations.

Case

Among the mysterious incidents at sea in this century, the most famous and puzzling are a series of plane and ship disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. It is said that since 1945, hundreds of planes and ships have mysteriously disappeared in this sea area. There are so many disappearances that the world can't believe that they are all accidental. The so-called Bermuda Triangle refers to a triangular sea area from Bermuda in the north, Puerto Rico in the south and Florida in the west, covering an area of about 1 million square kilometers. Because the disappearance of this piece of sea surface overlaps, the world calls it "the black hole of the earth" and "the devil's triangle".

One day in December p>1945, Captain Taylor, the captain of the 19th Air Force of the United States, led 14 pilots and drove five Avengers torpedo bombers to take off from Fort Lauderdale Airport in Florida for flight training. Taylor is an experienced pilot with a flight record of 2599 hours in the air. His flying skills should not be a problem at all to complete such training tasks. But when the flying fleet flew over the Bahamas, the base suddenly received a call from Captain Taylor: "My compass is out of order!" "I am over unconnected land!" In the next two hours, the radio communication system was intermittent, but it could still show that they were flying generally north and east. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the headquarters received a call from Captain Taylor: "I don't know where I am. I don't know where it is." Then the radio signal became weaker and weaker until there was silence. The headquarters felt that something was wrong and immediately sent a seaplane to take off and search. Half an hour later, people on an oil tanker saw a flame and the seaplane fell.

In just 6 hours, 6 planes and 15 pilots disappeared at once. They disappeared for no reason. This incident has greatly shaken the American authorities, and the military is determined to get to the bottom of it. The next day, 3 planes and 21 ships, including aircraft carriers, were dispatched on the sea covering an area of 6 million square kilometers, and the largest search was carried out. It took five days to search every sea surface from Bermuda to the Gulf of Mexico, but the six planes were still not found.

Over the years, people have different opinions about this incident, and the Baimu Three Sea Area became famous with the disclosure of this incident. However, the unexplained disappearance of ships or planes in this area can be traced back to the mid-19th century.

As early as 184, when a French cargo ship named "Lochari" sailed to Bermuda, people found that the food on board was as fresh as ever, the cargo was neat and intact, and all the crew members were mysteriously missing.

In p>1872, on the sea west of Azores, another double-masted ship named "Maria Milest" was found drifting on the sea, with fresh fruits, food and even half a cup of coffee on board, but no one was in it.

In p>1935, the sailors of the Italian freighter Lex watched the American buckwheat sailboat Radhoma being submerged by the waves little by little. But five days later, they saw the sailboat floating on the sea again. The sailors couldn't believe their eyes. Even if they jumped on the ship together with the crew of the rescued Radhomer, they wondered if they were daydreaming.

another outstanding example is that the U.S. navy auxiliary ship "Monocular Eye" loaded with manganese ore disappeared in March 1918. This huge cargo ship had 39 sailors and had good radio equipment at that time, but it disappeared without sending out any distress signal.

in p>1951, when a Brazilian seaplane was searching for one of their missing warships in this area, it found a huge black object under the water in Bermuda, which was passing by at an alarming speed.

In February, 1977, someone flew a private seaplane over Bermuda, and found that the compass pointer deviated by several tens of degrees. People who were eating found that the knives and forks on their plates were bent. After flying away from here, they also found that the tape recorder recorded strong noise.

a captain of the American shipwreck rescue company said that once when he was passing through Bermuda by boat, the compass needle on the boat suddenly swung violently, and the power of the running diesel engine suddenly disappeared, and the turbid waves were sky-high, and the ship was surrounded by fog. He ordered the engineer to go ahead at full speed and finally rushed out of the fog. But the waves outside this sea area are not big and there is no fog. He said that he had never seen such a strange thing.

The events in the Bermuda Triangle have attracted the attention of scientists from all over the world and relevant parties. People put forward various views on this.

Some people think that there is a huge magnetic field at the bottom of Bermuda, which will cause the compass to fail. In 1943, a doctor named Jusa made an experiment with the cooperation of the US Navy, and two magnetic generators were used to output more than ten palms of magnetic force. After the magnetic generator was turned on, green smoke surged around the hull, and the ship and people were stimulated to some extent. Some people returned to normal after treatment, but Jusa committed suicide afterwards. So the result will go away.

Some people think that Bermuda has a phenomenon similar to a cosmic black hole. But "black hole" is a state in space. Whether there is a black hole on the earth remains to be proved. Some people think that when there is a current at the bottom of Bermuda that collides with the sea surface current, it will cause a maritime accident, but there is no reasonable explanation for how this submarine undercurrent is formed.

in addition, there are various theories such as infrasound destruction theory and air turbulence theory, but these explanations are also a hypothesis, which lacks sufficient basis and is not generally accepted by people.

scientific exploration

in p>1979, a joint expedition organized by American and French scientists discovered a huge underwater pyramid on the seabed in Bermuda. According to the photos taken by Charles Beriz, honorary curator of Miami Museum in the United States, we can see that this underwater pyramid is bigger than the Great Pyramid of Egypt. There are two black holes on the tower, and seawater passes through them at high speed.

The discovery of the underwater pyramid makes the Bermuda Triangle mystery more mysterious. Is it man-made or natural? What does it have to do with the continuous shipwrecks and air crashes in Bermuda? These all need further discussion. Bermuda, a black hole, has yet to see the bottom.

The non-existent "Bermuda Devil's Triangle"

Fang Zhouzi

Bermuda is a famous tourist attraction in the Atlantic Ocean, but it is associated with a horrible name. Geographically, there is no such division as "Bermuda Triangle", but the proponents of mysterious phenomena simply draw three lines to form a triangle, namely Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, and then claim that there have been many inexplicable boats and planes missing in this sea area, which is called "Devil Triangle". Some even claim that there are many such "devil's triangles" on the earth, and the more famous one is the Japanese "devil's sea". After numerous articles and books, this statement has become more and more popular. It is not only a household name, but even believed by some professionals. For example, the China Ocean Information Network sponsored by the National Ocean Information Center also regards the Bermuda Triangle as a "wonder of the sea" and a "mystery of the sea", and includes several related articles. Ocean World, a major popular science magazine on ocean in China, introduced the Bermuda Devil's Triangle to Chinese people for the first time in the early 198s, and then raised this topic many times. Until 2, there were at least two articles on it, one was Zhao Juntao's Bermuda: The Triangle of Death (No.2, 2) and the other was Yang Yang's Mysterious Zone in the Ocean (No.4, 2) In this sea area, unmanned ghost ships are floating around, and strange lights and fog are flickering ... Bermuda Triangle is called' Death Triangle',' Devil Triangle' and' Magic Sea' ... "(Zhao Juntao's" Bermuda: Death Triangle ") A beautiful paradise on earth has become a hell on earth under the pen of these authors, which is really shocking.

Various theories and hypotheses have been put forward to try to explain this mysterious phenomenon, which has become a science. For example, the above article mentioned "alien abduction", "Western countries emit lasers", "black hole theory", "infrasound vibration theory at sea", "high pressure oil and gas theory", "parallel universe", "second gravity", "four-dimensional space" and "space-time contraction theory" and so on. The most popular view is that there is an alien base at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle. The missing planes and ships were taken away by aliens, and the missing people were taken as experiments by aliens. The sci-fi movie Close Encounter of the Third Kind has scenes of the missing pilots being put back by aliens decades later, and they are as young as before they disappeared. There is also a fascinating science fiction saying that these planes and ships entered the "time vortex" or the fourth dimension and went to another world. Some people also try to give reasonable explanations based on the existing scientific knowledge, such as tsunami, earthquake, tornado, gravity anomaly and magnetic anomaly (the US Navy measured this sea area during the census and charting, and found no anomalies). There is a saying that the magnetic declination is abnormal, which seems reasonable and even accepted by some skeptics. As we all know, the earth's magnetic pole and geographical pole are often inconsistent, which leads to a certain deviation between the North Pole pointed by the compass and the actual North Pole, and the magnetic declination in different places is generally different. This phenomenon of magnetic declination has been discovered by China people as early as the Song Dynasty, which is a basic common sense of navigation.

Some people claim that the Bermuda Triangle is different, but the magnetic north pole and the north pole are on the same line, that is, the magnetic declination is zero. If sailors and pilots continue to keep the habit of correcting the magnetic declination in the Bermuda Triangle, they will lose their way. This statement can't stand scrutiny. The phenomenon of magnetic declination is always remembered by every sailor and pilot. If they forget it for a while, they will deviate from the course in other places, but they will not when the magnetic declination is zero. Even if a sailor or pilot loses his mind and suddenly corrects the compass where it is not necessary to correct it, it can only explain why planes and ships deviate from the course, but it cannot explain why they disappear. There are many places in geomagnetism where the magnetic declination is zero. Connecting these places has become an imaginary "zero magnetic declination line", which extends from the Great Lakes of the United States, through the eastern United States, Florida and Cuba to South America. In fact, the Bermuda Triangle is not all on the zero magnetic declination line. The magnetic declination is close to zero only near Florida, and gradually increases to the east, reaching 15 degrees in Bermuda.

Proponents of mysterious phenomenon admit that there is no reasonable theory or hypothesis to explain the mysterious disappearance of Bermuda Triangle. The question is, if this mysterious disappearance does not exist in the first place, why bother to explain it? But none of these "researchers" thought of investigating whether so many ships and planes were really missing in the Bermuda Triangle. Larry Kusche, a librarian at Arizona State University in the United States, decided to do it for them and investigate all the more than 5 cases specifically mentioned by the proponents of mysterious phenomena one by one (because it is difficult to say whether some related accidents should be counted together or separated, so there is no need to determine the numbers). The truth of the case, consult the relevant investigation reports of the US Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and LLoyd's Insurance Company in London, Newspaper reports at the time of the accident, as well as writing letters to relevant personnel for enquiries, published a book "The Bermuda Triangle Mystery-Solved" in 1975, and introduced his investigation results of each case in detail. This book is regarded by the United States Coast Guard, Lloyd's Insurance Company of London and many authoritative organizations as the final conclusion of the phenomenon of the Great Triangle. In this book, Kushede draws ten conclusions:

First, after finding enough information, most accidents can be reasonably explained, which is not mysterious. For example, some were due to a hurricane, and some were due to defects in the hull structure itself and bad weather, all of which were concluded in the investigation report afterwards.

second, in some legendary "accidents", the key details, even the whole accident, are fictitious.

Third, some accidents that obviously occurred elsewhere were also included in the Bermuda Triangle. The most notorious one was a shipwreck in the Pacific Ocean in 192 and an air crash in Ireland in 1951, both of which were regarded as accidents in the Bermuda Triangle.
