Bermuda Triangle A World Mystery

Bermuda Triangle A World Mystery

Section of the North Atlantic Ocean off North America in which more than 50 ships and 20 airplanes are said to have mysteriously disappeared. The area, whose boundaries are not universally agreed upon, has a vaguely triangular shape marked by the southern U.S coast, Bermuda, and Greater Antilles.

Reports of unexplained occurrence in the region date to the mid-19th century. Some ships were discovered completely abandoned for no apparent reason; others transmitted no distress signals and were never seen or heard from again. Aircraft have been reported and then vanished, and rescue missions are said to have vanished when flying in the area. However, wreckage has not been bound, and some of the theories advanced to explain the repeated mysteries have been fanciful. Scientific searches have revealed nothing to substantiate the stored peril of the region wherever it may be. Boaters and fliers continue to venture through the triangle without event.
