Where is the BERMUDA TRIANGLE??

A MYSTERY STARTS FROM A SCRATCH

Nobody knows exactly how the Bermuda triangle mystery came into existence, but it was the Flight 19 incident which propelled it to fame. Every subsequent incident added to its mysteriousness leaving the whole world bewildered. Alongside these incidents, the mystery was also fuelled by the sensational media and more importantly, some self-proclaimed experts. Some of the authors responsible for the infamous reputation of Bermuda Triangle :

George X. Sand •Initiated the perception that there is

paranormal activity in the “Bermuda Triangle”.

Charles Berlitz•Expert in the field of Paranormal•Author of the 1974 book titled "The

Bermuda Triangle"

Vincent Gaddis•Coined the term 'Bermuda triangle'

in 1964

SUPERNATURAL THEORIES :-

THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS SEA MONSTERS TIME WARP UFO’S THE HUTCHINSON EFFECT

THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS :

The Left Over Technology Of Atlantis Is Responsible For The Sinking Of Ships.

The Presence Of Crystals Belonging To Atlantis Is Also Believed To Be Responsible For Sinking Of Ships.

Some Also Believe It Is Due To The Ancient Curse Which Was put Upon Atlantis For Sinking Ships.

PEOPLE IN ANCIENT TIME USED TO BELIEVED THAT DRAGONS OR SEA – MONSTERS USED TO LIVE UNDER WATER. THIS USED TO DESTROY SHIPS COMING OVER THERE.

ALTHOUGH THIS REASON NEVER GAINED MUCH IMPORTANCE AMONG THE PEOPLE & SCIENTISTS ALIKE.

SEA MONSTERS

Pilots also believed that if a plane goes to that area, it goes into the past or the future. (generally to the time period of the French revolution)

TIME WARP

a. Many scientists think that it is a place where the aliens come to collect humans or their technologies.

b. The Bermuda triangle is a major place where all the aliens meet at a place and capture human specimens and take back to their planet to study

UFO’S

In 1979, John Hutchinson hatched a theory and conducted experiments to prove that electromagnetic fields of different wave lengths can connect with each other, and when this happens, that you should expect the unexpected.

In experiments conducted by him, this combination of various electromagnetic fields resulted in some interesting outcomes including objects like metal and wood being able to float, water swirling in a cup, metal melting, mirrors shattering and a host of other unusual phenomenon.

However Hutchinson has suggested that if he can create these phenomena in a controlled environment, nature too can do this anywhere and at anytime.

SCIENTIFC EXPLANATIONS :-

COMPASS VARIATIONS GULF STREAM HURRICANES & ROGUE WAVES METHANE HYDRATES HUMAN ERROR

COMPASS VARIATIONS

A compass actually points to the magnetic North, while the absolute geographic North is located at Greenland. The angular gap between the absolute geographic North and the magnetic North is known as the compass variation.

The ‘Bermuda Triangle' is one of the two places on earth that a magnetic compass does point towards true north.

If a ship moves along a specific narrow strip within Bermuda Triangle, the magnetic North and the absolute geographic North come into the same line, i.e. the Compass Variation is ZERO

So accidents or loss can happen all over the world and not just in Bermuda Triangle, if such compass adjustments are not done.

The Gulf Stream Is An Ocean Current That Originates In The Gulf Of Mexico And Then Flows Through The Straits Of Florida Into The North Atlantic.

In Essence, It Is A River

Within An Ocean, And, Like A River, It Can And Does Carry Floating Objects. It Has A Surface Velocity Of Up To About 2.5 Meters Per Second (5.6 Mi/H)

GULF STREAM

HURRICANE & ROGUE WAVES

Hurricanes Are Powerful Storms, Which Form In Tropical Waters And Have Historically Cost Thousands Of Lives Lost And Caused Billions Of Dollars In Damage.. These Storms Have In The Past Caused A Number Of Incidents Related To The Triangle.

In various oceans around the world, rogue waves have caused ships to sink and oil platforms to topple. These waves, were considered to be a Mystery and or a Myth….

METHANE HYDRATES

Methane Lowers The Density Of WaterThe Presence Of Methane Hydrates Indicates Enormous Eruptions Of Methane Bubbles That Would Swamp A Ship, And Projected High Into The Air- Take Out Flying Airplanes, As Well.Another variant is possible. The work of aircraft altimeters is based on the measurement of air density. Because of the spike of methane they begin to show, that the airplane is rising unexpectedly. And the pilot has to lose height into the watered swiftly plummeting

HUMAN ERROR

One of the most cited explanations in official inquiries as to the loss of any aircraft or vessel is human error Whether Deliberate or Accidental, humans have been known to make Mistakes resulting in catastrophe, and losses within the Bermuda Triangle are no exception.

INFAMOUS INCIDENTS OF BERMUDA TRIANGLE

FLIGHT 19 : • On December 5, 1945 five bomber TBM-3 “Avenger” DISAPPEARED there.

• The five pilots and nine crewmen, led by instructor Lt. Charles Taylor, were to practice bombing and low-level strafing on small coral shoals 60 miles east of the naval station

• They Never Returned

ELECTRONIC FOG : Bruce Gernon is the only person in the world to witness what creates the Bermuda Triangle. Others have seen parts of this phenomenon and some have seen it but vanished. Gernon is the only one to see this from its birth stage through its mature stage and enter the heart of the Time storm and escape through a Tunnel Vortex and experience a time warp of 30 minutes forward in time and 100 miles forward in space.

AT LAST THE REALITY TURNS OUT TO BE…….

It is impossible to describe all the hypotheses explaining mysterious events in this presentation, which take place in Bermuda…..

No expert or survivor can totally be sure about the

Bermuda Triangle..

It’s the mystery which excites brains of many people and sometime it

will berevealed.

Thank You……..
