9 Popular Theories Solving The Mystery Of Bermuda Triangle by Eleniyan15: 6:30pm On Dec 10, 2015
It depends on whose views you are reading
whether there is something fishy or not. Though
there are some weird indications that had been
seen by victims like storms, compass failure,
hurricanes, lack of radio on board, and structural
weakness. And due to these theories Bermuda
triangle has several names like " Devil's Triangle "
or " Isle of devils ".

Popular Theories solving the mystery of
Bermuda Triangle

It is claimed that more than 50 ships and 20
planes have disappeared in the Bermuda triangle
within the last century and around 1000 in the
past 500 years. It is still a mystery, where these
aircrafts and water crafts disappeared. What
actually happened with all? There is not a single
theory which can explain all these
disappearances . Several theories have given by
many people, but not a single theory is
universally accepted as the real cause of such
incidents. Some of the most popular theories are
given here

actually happened with all? There is not a single
theory which can explain all these
disappearances . Several theories have given by
many people, but not a single theory is
universally accepted as the real cause of such
incidents. Some of the most popular theories are
given here



1. Methane Gas Theory
The methane gas theory was given in 1998 by
Dr. Ben Clennell of Leads University, England. He
stated that large amount of methane gas
releases due to landslides under the water floors
of ocean. And because of these landslides,
related area gets converted into very low water
density due to which the water crafts sink. And
because of the high inflammable quality it is
also explosive which may cause aircrafts to
catch fire .
Many studies have been done on this
subsequently and it has been found that there is
large amount of methane hydrates in ocean in
frozen condition at below zero temperature. And
large amount of methane gas releases as the
result of decomposition of these hydrates.
Because of methane, water heats up which
causes water crafts to sink due to less float-
ability. The air-crafts also crash as methane
causes saturated air atmosphere to get stormy.
Even this theory could not clearly define and
justify the disappearance of water-crafts and air-
crafts because methane reserves are situated at
a big distance from Bermuda triangle but there
not even a single case like this has happened.
And for any ship to sink, it takes time, therefore
meanwhile any message could be sent.


2. Gulf Stream
Gulf stream is nothing but the ocean current
which originates in the gulf of Mexico and
passes through Bermuda triangle via straits of
Florida, North Atlantic. It forms itself like a river
in a ocean that can easily waft the floating
objects like ships and other water-crafts with it.
And even an aircraft which is flying near the
water level can be affected.


3. Compass Variation
The magnetic north and absolute geographical
north has a variation. It means the north which
is shown by a compass is not actual north which
is North Pole. This variation is approx 1500
miles. If we keep follow the compass shown
north, then we will be reaching Prince of Wales
Island of Canada , which is about 1,500 miles
away from the North Pole. It shows a 20-degree
variation. So ships and other water-crafts make
an adjustment to get the right direction. But in
Bermuda triangle there is a place where these
two become same. It means compass shows the
direction as north is actual North Pole. And this
compass variation causes a big problem to
determine the actual direction which leads to an
accident.
This theory was also unable to define the
mystery of Bermuda Triangle completely,
because there were many pilots and captains
who were having in-depth knowledge of
atmospheric conditions, directions and compass
variation, even then they were trapped in
Bermuda Triangle .

4. Electronic Fog: A Hutchison Effect
This theory was given by a Canadian scientist
John Hutchison, who demonstrated an
electromagnetic fog in his laboratory in 1979. He
demonstrated it when different electromagnetic
waves interplay with each-other. Which leads to
some strange happening like objects rise in air,
water swirling in a cup or some objects shooting
in a high speed.
Electromagnetic field is generated by metallic
wire's coils. When a current is passed through
these wires, it generates electromagnetic current
or field and this is called electromagnetism .
Hutchison demonstrated this strange behavior of
objects in electromagnetic field more than 750
times and proved that it is due to interplay of
electromagnetic field. And said a strange brown
colored fog is formed which leads to such
occurrences.
Although this effect has been proven but still
there is no exact prediction when it will occur,
because in 99 percentage cases it didn't happen
at all.


5. The Sargasso Sea
The Sargasso Sea is located in North Atlantic
which is 700 miles wide and 2000 miles long and
has no shores. It is bounded by sea currents
from all sides. This whole area is covered by
long dense seaweeds on its surface which looks
like a mat. Its name is Sargassum by which the
ocean name is also derived from.
Bermuda is located on its western fringes . There
are lots of mysterious incidents have been
happening in this area since long time. In many
cases the ships which were lost, were found
floating here without a single soul on it. Many
ships were lost while traveling from here and
reappeared without any person.


6. Strange Weather & Hurricanes
Lots of storms are raised in Bermuda Triangle
very often and very quickly. These storms are so
quick that even a satellite doesn't predict such
storms. And if a ship is moving through that
area, there is always a chance to sink.
Hurricanes are also very powerful storms which
rise from South Eastern Atlantic and pass
through the Bermuda triangle. These hurricanes
also cause loss and extreme damage in that
particular area. Mostly these originate in the
months of June to November .



7. Human Errors
Human errors also could not be neglected for
such accidents. As Bermuda Triangle area is
very vast and has lots of identical islands. So it
is very often that they move towards wrong
direction. And after realizing the errors, it is
quite late to return and refuel the ship because
after covering such a long way, ship runs out of
fuel.


8. Supernatural Theories
There are several stories related to Bermuda
Triangle . The most popular story is the lost city
of Atlantis. Some people believe that there used
to be a city named Atlantis which is now under
water . There are rock formations near Biminis
Island near the Bahamas . These rock formations
are well arranged and look like manmade road
and walls. They say that Atlantis is dependent
upon a powerful energy crystal which produces
large amount of energy and navigates the ships
near to the area. And sometimes it destroys
them because of excess amount of energy .
Some other supernatural stories are related to
aliens. People believe that ships and aircrafts
are trapped by aliens, who often come there by
UFOs . But it still remains to be proved.
