Between the devil and the deep blue sea, where comes the BERMUDA TRIANGLE?

Mystery has never been something exceptional to us. Even simplest of things can be conferred as intricate abnormalities. One such mystery is the “BERMUDA TRIANGLE”. It refers to an area in the North Atlantic Ocean and is said to be bounded by points in Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico. It is famous as a place where planes and ships sinisterly disappear into nothingness. It is also called “THE DEVIL’S TRIANGLE”. It is neither an actual triangle nor is its name recognized officially. There are two ways of looking at this; one being scientific explanations to the anomalies the other being explanations which sound erratic but till now have not been refuted absolutely. There’s still a lurking question about the Bermuda triangle being a place of paranormal activities.

The unusual activities have been reported by many people, the first one being witnessed by Christopher Columbus. He reported that the compass readings came out wrong, white water and glowing green fog could be seen. There have been many incidents which suggest some abnormality in the region. The most peculiar ones being Flight 19(1945) and Ellen Austin(1881). Flight 19 was a bomber aircraft which went for training but never returned. It is said to have been disappeared in the air. One aircraft afterwards with 13 crew members were sent to rescue the flight, they were also reported missing. The other incident is that of Ellen Austin, the ship which came across another ship without any crew members on board in the Bermuda triangle. The crew decided to tow the ship back to New York along with Ellen Austin, so it transferred some of the crew in that ship. Then a storm separated the two ships. The other ship could never be found again. Some stories say that the ship was seen again by Ellen Austin but was again without any crew.

Time vortex

Around 66 ships and planes have been reported missing around the triangle region. It is believed that Bruce Gernon has been one of the few people to have come out of the triangle safely. Gernon says he had witnessed a time warp of thirty minutes because he passed through a time vortex, which is in the devil’s triangle.
Undoubtedly, there is something aberrant about the region. The magnetic compass usually points the north but in the Bermuda triangle it points the true north which is the magnetic south. The weather is also weird because without any warning the region is stormed and there are deep water currents too.

Coming on to the explanations, the craziest ones are alien abduction in the area and the magical powers radiating huge amounts of energy which were buried with the mythical city of Atlantis. The magical powers are said to influence the navigational instruments resulting in their malfunction, which would lead the ships and the planes to lose their way or the powers could destroy them completely.
The scientific explanations offered include that the place might have been hit by a comet having strange electromagnetic properties 11,000 years back. This explain the weird magnetic behavior of the place but it still lacks proof as the comet may or may not have hit the region.

Another explanation which is by far the most reasonable concludes that all this caused by methane hydrates. It reckons that the triangle has trapped methane gas beneath the waters which is aroused by any water landslide or tectonic movements, this methane gas has a property of reducing the water density resulting in sinking of the ships, if this gas goes high up in the air then this can dismantle an airplane too. The questionable aspect here is that can it go that high?

Methane sucking the ships inside

The other reasons could be pirates, bizarre weather patterns and the gulf stream( the water current) which never lead to the discovery of any wrecked part of the ship or the plane. In the end of course there could be human faults too which made it sound so mysterious.
Mystic forces at work or is it science ? Between the devil and the deep blue sea, the choice is yours.
