The Bermuda Triangle, also called the Devil’s Triangle takes up the space between Bermuda, Puerto Rico and the tip of Florida, in the Western part of the North Atlantic Ocean. People like to speculate many supernatural causes for the phenomenon such as alien activity or experiments.
The first time the Bermuda Triangle was mentioned was by writer Vincent Gaddis in an article published in 1964 for Argosy magazine. Although there are plenty of unexplained disappearances in the area, it is also a heavily traveled area, and one of the busiest shipping routes. Cruise ships frequently enter the area as well as private boats traveling between Florida and the islands. Planes heading to the Caribbean or South American destinations from up north fly right through the Bermuda Triangle and in comparison not many flights have experiences anything unexplained.
Some of the more interesting explanations for the bizarre section of ocean includes the idea of interference from leftover technology from the mythical city of Atlantis. More logical explanations have been considered by scientists and it is thought magnetic anomalies may exist in the Triangle which would affect the compasses. Another common explanation is the formation of methane hydrates (natural gas) on the continental shelves at the bottom of the ocean. Experiments have proven the bubbles created can sink a ship by making the water less buoyant and any debris left over from the wreck would quickly be carried off by the Gulf Stream, making it nearly impossible to find the vessel, but this idea would account for airplanes and there are no reports of this happening in the Bermuda triangle in over 15,000 years.
10. Flight 19, 1945

Flight 19 was the title given to five TBM Avenger Torpedo Bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle, December 5, 1945 during a training flight. All 14 men on the flight disappeared without a trace. Later during the search, a Martin Mariner Flying Boat also disappeared over the water and was never found with 13 men on board. Flight 19 is one of the most well-known Bermuda Triangle incidents and is the focus of the science fiction movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind which show the men being taken to mars after an alien abduction. In the movie the pilots are returned to Earth by their peaceful captors.
