The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean in which a number of aircraft and surface vessels are alleged to have mysteriously disappeared in a manner that cannot be explained by human error, piracy, equipment failure, or natural disasters. Popular culture has attributed these disappearances to the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or activity by extraterrestrial beings.
A substantial body of documentation reveals, however, that a significant portion of the allegedly mysterious incidents have been inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, and numerous official agencies have stated that the number and nature of disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean.

Notable Incidents:-
1- Flight 19:
Flight 19 was a training flight of TBM Avenger bombers that went missing on December 5, 1945 while over the Atlantic. The squadron's flight path was scheduled to take them due east for 120 miles, north for 73 miles, and then back over a final 120-mile leg that would return them to the naval base, but they never returned. The impression is given that the flight encountered unusual phenomena and anomalous compass readings, and that the flight took place on a calm day under the supervision of an experienced pilot, Lt. Charles Carroll Taylor. Adding to the intrigue is that the Navy's report of the accident was ascribed to "causes or reasons unknown."
Adding to the mystery, a search and rescue Mariner aircraft with a 13-man crew was dispatched to aid the missing squadron, but the Mariner itself was never heard from again. Later, there was a report from a tanker cruising off the coast of Florida of a visible explosion at about the time the Mariner would have been on patrol. While the basic facts of this version of the story are essentially accurate, some important details are missing. The weather was becoming stormy by the end of the incident, and naval reports and written recordings of the conversations between Taylor and the other pilots of Flight 19 do not indicate magnetic problems.

2- Mary Celeste:
The mysterious abandonment in 1872 of the 282-ton brigantine Mary Celeste is often but inaccurately connected to the Triangle, the ship having been abandoned off the coast of Portugal. The event is possibly confused with the loss of a ship with a similar name, the Mari Celeste, a 207-ton paddle steamer that hit a reef and quickly sank off the coast of Bermuda on September 13, 1864. Kusche noted that many of the "facts" about this incident were actually about the Marie Celeste, the fictional ship from Arthur Conan Doyle's short story "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement" (based on the real Mary Celeste incident, but fictionalised).

3- Ellen Austin:
The Ellen Austin supposedly came across a derelict ship, placed on board a prize crew, and attempted to sail with it to New York in 1881. According to the stories, the derelict disappeared; others elaborating further that the derelict reappeared minus the prize crew, then disappeared again with a second prize crew on board. A check from Lloyd's of London records proved the existence of the Meta, built in 1854 and that in 1880 the Meta was renamed Ellen Austin. There are no casualty listings for this vessel, or any vessel at that time, that would suggest a large number of missing men were placed on board a derelict that later disappeared.

  • Hey Why Did The Scientist Stop There Research in Bermuda Triangle?

    Why Would'nt They Invent Something So Small But Undestractable Even if it Goes to the Bermuda Triangle So They Can know some things about the DEvils Triangle?

    If I Grow Up Like 20 Years Old I will be a Scientist..

  • @09zerokiruuyuukun Thats the spirit to become a scientist and seach for the truth out there...I salute your brave decision ...!!

  • is there audio from the down craft ?

  • @housetaboo I doubt it, though there were many conversations recorded between the flight leader and the base and with the other craft came close to them.

    the film here is a reconstruction of the event and the exact conversations recorded.

  • @oleksiy22 Taylor was not feeling well even before boarding his plane, he even asked his superior officer if he could be excused from the mission, but was denied. he was disorienated it and could not judge properly on a ourse of action, he could not read the compass, so I doubt that something was wrong with the compass, not broken as no record of it being so !!

  • @KurdstanPlanetarium see compass broke

  • @KurdstanPlanetarium That not Taylor fault because the compass reading broke

  • @muhammedahmed1000 Yes could be a possibility. A scary dimensional ride by aliens and their UFO ships to take us to some Alien planet or galaxy unknown to us.

  • My Grand Father was missing there... when he was a pilot on ww2 but hes still missing :(

  • Dose anyone think Bermuda triangle could be a way to another world?
