Statistically, the Bermuda Triangle is just as safe (or unsafe) as other areas of the oceans once you adjust for the amount of traffic.

Call newschannel 3, I bet they would look into it.  Royal Norman may even already have an answer.  I have not seen them, though I live very close to you.  I'll have to keep my eye on the SE sky.  Do they occur at a certain time, or various times?  Are they low to the horizon?

I havent had an encounter.... but I have seen one. It was hanging over a highway at night.We drove directly under it, and it was no higher up than a treetop. The object was triangular in shape, with rounded corners. There were colored lights along the inside of the triangle. It made no noise as we went under it, and on the way home, my friend said it wasnt there. For those of you that answered my question about ufo's, whether you believe me or not, I was not on anything, and wasnt drinking. I know what I saw.

I have been across the Triangle many times in both boats and planes. I never observed anything different. There are many scheduled flights across it every day.  One of the reasons for so many stories is that there is such a huge amount of air and shipping traffic across this area.

Do you mean what is the myth versus truth behind the Bermuda Triangle?  Some scientists believe that the area has many tropical storms, and underwater earthquakes.  The storms build up and dissipate quickly and are often not picked up on radar.  This is a heavily traveled area so accidents are going to happen.  The current is so strong there that sailors have a hard time adjusting their course.  They can be easily confused and end up hundreds of miles off course.  \n\nBermuda Triangle is also known as Devil's Triangle.  Sometimes called this because of all the accidents and disappearances that happen there.

There is no concrete evidence to prove or disaprove its existance. Plato in one of his discusions with Socrates mentions A City far more civilized than that of theirs . He thought it was located far to the west of africa wich would point its location close to South America. Through moder investigation some clame it did exist Close to what we know as The Bermuda Triangle.

I fly through it all the time on commercial airlines. So far the only thing I have lost is some of my luggage. Maybe that's where lost luggage goes.\n\nI don't think the Bermuda Triangle has had statistically more disappearances than any place else in the world. It just makes a better story. Here's what Bermuda-Triangle.org has to say about it:\nI quote:\n"The "Bermuda Triangle," or "Devil’s Triangle," is a mythical geographic area located off the southeastern coast of the United States that is noted for an apparent high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats and aircraft. The apexes of the Triangle are generally accepted to be Bermuda, Miami, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.\n\nIn the past, extensive but futile Coast Guard searches, prompted by search and rescue cases such as the disappearance of an entire squadron of TBM Avengers shortly after take-off from Fort Lauderdale, Florida (1945), or the sinking of the Marine Sulphur Queen in the Florida Straits (1963), have lent credence to popular belief in the mysterious and supernatural qualities of the "Bermuda Triangle."\n\nCountless theories attempting to explain the many disappearances have been offered throughout the history of the area. The most reasonable seem to be citing human errors and environmental factor.\n\nThe majority of disappearances can be attributed to the area's unique features. The Gulf Stream, a warm ocean current flowing from the Gulf of Mexico around the Florida Straits northeastward toward Europe, is extremely swift and turbulent. It can quickly erase any evidence of a disaster."\n\nFrom:\nhttp://www.bermuda-triangle.org/html/coast_guard_opinion.html

Bermuda Triangle Fact Sheet\n\nPrepared by the U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters and the Naval Historical Center\n\nThe U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle as an official name and does not maintain an official file on the area.\n\nThe "Bermuda or Devil's Triangle" is an imaginary area located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States, which is noted for a high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats, and aircraft. The apexes of the triangle are generally accepted to be Bermuda, Miami, Fla., and San Juan, Puerto Rico.\n\nIn the past, extensive, but futile Coast Guard searches prompted by search and rescue cases such as the disappearance of a flight of five TBM Avengers shortly after take off from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., or the traceless sinking of USS Cyclops and Marine Sulphur Queen have lent credence to the popular belief in the mystery and the supernatural qualities of the "Bermuda Triangle."\n\nCountless theories attempting to explain the many disappearances have been offered throughout the history of the area. The most practical seem to be environmental and those citing human error. The majority of disappearances can be attributed to the area's unique environmental features. First, the "Devil's Triangle" is one of the two places on earth that a magnetic compass does point towards true north. Normally it points toward magnetic north. The difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 20 degrees as one circumnavigates the earth. If this compass variation or error is not compensated for, a navigator could find himself far off course and in deep trouble.\n\nAn area called the "Devil's Sea" by Japanese and Filipino seamen, located off the east coast of Japan, also exhibits the same magnetic characteristics. It is also known for its mysterious disappearances.\n\nAnother environmental factor is the character of the Gulf Stream. It is extremely swift and turbulent and can quickly erase any evidence of a disaster. The unpredictable Caribbean-Atlantic weather pattern also plays its role. Sudden local thunder storms and water spouts often spell disaster for pilots and mariners. Finally, the topography of the ocean floor varies from extensive shoals around the islands to some of the deepest marine trenches in the world. With the interaction of the strong currents over the many reefs the topography is in a state of constant flux and development of new navigational hazards is swift.\n\nNot to be under estimated is the human error factor. A large number of pleasure boats travel the waters between Florida's Gold Coast and the Bahamas. All too often, crossings are attempted with too small a boat, insufficient knowledge of the area's hazards, and a lack of good seamanship.\n\nThe Coast Guard is not impressed with supernatural explanations of disasters at sea. It has been their experience that the combined forces of nature and unpredictability of mankind outdo even the most far fetched science fiction many times each year.\n\nWe know of no maps that delineate the boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle. However, there are general area maps available through the Distribution Control Department, U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office, Washington, D.C. 20390. Of particular interest to students if mysterious happenings may be the "Aeromagnetic Charts of the U.S. Coastal Region," H.O. Series 17507, 15 sheets. Numbers 9 through 15 cover the "Bermuda Triangle."\n\nInterest in the "Bermuda Triangle" can be traced to (1) the cover article in the August 1968 Argosy, "The Spreading Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle", (2) the answer to a letter to the editor of the January 1969 Playboy, and (3) an article in August 4, 1968 I, "Limbo of Lost Ships", by Leslie Lieber. Also, many newspapers carried a December 22, 1967 National Geographic Socie

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean approximately triangular in shape and is famous for its supposed paranormal activities. The Bermuda Triangle is an approximate equilateral triangle with its three corners roughly defined by the islands of Bermuda (one corner) and Puerto Rico near its capital city San Juan (another corner), and near Miami, Florida (a third corner), giving it an area of nearly half a million square miles (1.2 million km²). (Other shapes have been proposed as well as dimensions and borders—see the map at the right and its legend.)\n\nThere are many claims of paranormal activity within the Triangle, especially the inexplicable disappearance of ships and aircraft, or of their crews. Other common claims made of the region are that the laws of physics do not operate here as they do elsewhere, or that extraterrestrial beings are responsible for the disappearances

There is a great deal of speculation about it, compounded in part by the somewhat odious assumption that this place is so high in its vibrations that it is invisible to ordinary human vision and that only spiritually advanced people can visit/see this place. Still, so much has been written about this place by so many authorities that it is difficult to dismiss the claim (about its existance) out-rightly. Most recently, James Redfield has devoted a whole book to the subject, brilliant as he is. The most recent theory doing the rounds is that this place is located at present not in the Himalayas, as previously speculated, but somewhere in the Gobi Desert. There have also been a substantial number of un-confirmed reports about people being rescued by guardian angels of Shambhala. But we will probably have to wait for some time in future when hopefully more definite evidence emerges to confirm or deny the existence of this place.

Do you mean the mysterious disappearance of ships, planes and do they reappear thousands of miles away?\nIt does seem the currents can change and be strong. There are lots of little islands, rocks, storms appear suddenly.\nI understand a survey of events in a triangle from Maine, Mass., in that area has more ship wrecks, missing planes (JFK Jr.'s) in a smaller area than the Bermuda Triangle. I understand the Coast Guard Record's do not correlate with the popular books.

The Bermuda Triangle (also known as Devil's Triangle) is a nearly half-million square-mile (1.2 million km2) area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the southernmost tip of Florida. The Bermuda Triangle has become popular through representation by the mass media, in which it is a paranormal site in which the known laws of physics are either violated, altered, or both.\n\nWhile there is a common belief that a number of ships and airplanes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances in this region, the United States Coast Guard and others disagree with that assessment, citing statistics demonstrating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily traveled region of the world. Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon close examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.\n\n\nSkeptical responses\n\nThe marine insurer Lloyd's of London has determined the "triangle" to be no more dangerous than any other area of ocean, and does not charge unusual rates for passage through the region. Coast Guard records confirm their conclusion.\n\nSkeptics comment that the disappearance of a train between two stops would be more convincing evidence of paranormal activity, and the fact that such things do not occur suggests that paranormal explanations are not needed for the disappearance of ships and airplanes in the far less predictable open ocean.\n[edit]\n\nKusche's research\n\nIntrigued by the number of students coming to him looking for information about the Bermuda Triangle, Lawrence Kusche, a reference librarian with Arizona State University at the time of the Flight 19 incident, began an exhaustive follow-up investigation of the original reports. His findings were eventually published in 1975 as The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved.\n\nKusche's research revealed a number of inaccuracies and inconsistencies between Berlitz's accounts and statements from eyewitnesses, participants and others involved in the initial incidents. He noted cases where pertinent information went unreported, such as the disappearance of round-the-world yachtsman Donald Crowhurst which Berlitz had presented as a mystery, despite clear evidence that Crowhurst had fabricated the accounts of his voyage and had probably committed suicide. Another example was the ore-carrier Berlitz recounted as lost without trace three days out of an Atlantic port when it had been lost three days out of a port with the same name in the Pacific Ocean. Kusche also argued that a large percentage of the incidents attributed to the Bermuda Triangle's mysterious influence actually occurred well outside it.\n\nKusche came to several conclusions:\n\n    * The number of ships and airplanes reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than any other part of the ocean.\n    * In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur was neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious.\n    * The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. A boat listed as missing would be reported, but not necessarily its eventual, if belated, return to port.\n    * The circumstances of confirmed disappearances were frequently misreported in Berlitz's accounts. The numbers of ships disappearing in supposedly calm weather, for instance, did not tally with weather reports published at the time.

“The region involved, a watery triangle bounded roughly by Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, measures less than a thousand miles on any one side.” \n   . . .So George X. Sand introduced the Triangle to his readers in October 1952 in a short article for Fate magazine, entitled “Sea Mystery at our Back Door.” \n  Sand’s article recounted the latest disappearance (the Sandra in 1950) and went on to discuss some of the other recent baffling mysteries like NC16002, Star Tiger and Star Ariel, aside from \ndevoting most of the article to Flight 19.\n   The Triangle remained a colloquial expression throughout the 1950s, employed by locals when another disappearance or unexplained crash happened. \n   By the early 1960s, it had acquired the name The Deadly Triangle. In his 1962 book, Wings of Mystery, author Dale Titler also devoted pages in Chapter 14— “The Mystery of Flight 19”— to recounting the most recent incidents of disappearances and even began to ponder theories, such as electromagnetic anomalies and the ramifications of Project Magnet. His book would set the temper for Triangle  \ndiscussions thereafter. (Just in April 1962 Allan W. Eckert had written a sensational piece in the American Legion Magazine on Flight 19 ((“The Mystery of the Lost Patrol”)) which introduced some of the most popular but erroneous dialogue purported coming from Flight 19, including lines like the ocean looks strange, all the compasses are going haywire, and that they could not make out any directions, “everything is strange.” This became a may pole for electromagnetic discussions).\n   However, popularity on the subject was beginning to spread beyond the area of the Atlantic seaboard. But the moniker “Deadly Triangle” contained absolutely no geographic reference in it— in other words  “Deadly Triangle” could be anywhere.\n   Then in February 1964 Vincent Gaddis wrote an article for Argosy Magazine. The article was little different from others, though it added a few more recent cases like Marine Sulphur Queen. However, it was his title that finally clinched with the public: “The  Deadly Bermuda Triangle.” Adding “Bermuda” finally materialized the location for everybody, though Gaddis clarified “in and about this area” many have disappeared. \n   In his popular 1965 book Invisible Horizons, Gaddis devoted chapter 13 to  “The Triangle of Death.” The concept of the Bermuda Triangle was spreading rapidly. \n   Ironically, the first book published devoted to the subject was entitled Limbo of the Lost (1969) by John Spencer, in which he proposed the area had no real shape at all and elaborately tried to include the Gulf of Mexico as well as New Jersey. It sold in limited quantities, but was later reproduced in  paperback in the early 1970s and did well. \n   Dozens of magazine and newspaper articles came out in the early ‘70s, each author offering a general shape. Richard Winer proposed “The Devil’s Triangle” and extended it nearly to the Azores near Portugal. Ivan Sanderson was sure it was an oblong shape centered almost entirely north of Bermuda.\n   But no book sold as well as Charles Berlitz’s 1974 bestseller, The Bermuda Triangle. Selling way over 5,000,000 copies in hardback, it became a phenomenon. Berlitz also cautioned about the exact shape, as had the others. But to this day Bermuda Triangle is deferred to for the same reason “Deadly Triangle” failed—there is simply no other name that calls to mind the general area as does Bermuda Triangle. \n\nNo doubt you have wondered about the Bermuda Triangle. It is the greatest \nmodern mystery of our supposedly well understood world: a region of the  Atlantic \nOcean between Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico, where disappearances of ships and planes not only continue but continue to defy explanation.\n\n\nIt was Halloween, 1991. Radar controllers checked and rechecked what they had just seen. The scope was blank in a spot

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as Devil's Triangle, is an area of ocean roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the southern tip of Florida. It is claimed that within this zone many ships and planes have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances. The United States Coast Guard and others disagree with the assessment of paranormal activity, arguing that the number of incidents involving lost ships and planes is no larger than that of any other heavily traveled region of the world.\n\nThe first mention of any disappearances in the area was made in 1950 by E.V.W. Jones as a sidebar on the Associated Press wire service regarding recent ship losses in the area. Jones' article notes the "mysterious disappearances" of ships, planes and small boats in the region, and ascribes it the name "The Devil's Sea." The area achieved its fame mainly because of the 1974 book, “The Bermuda Triangle” by Charles Berlitz. The book consists of a series of “mysterious” disappearances of ships and aircraft, including the December 1945 loss of five U.S. Navy Avenger torpedo bombers, known as Flight 19.\n\nThe Bermuda Triangle has been attached to many bizarre theories to explain the nature of the disappearances. The list includes transportation by extraterrestrial technology, a "temporal hole" of some form, the lost city of Atlantis, and other supernatural causes.\n\nSolid research done by Lawrence Kusche, and published in 1975 as “The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved.” show this area of water to not be such an unusual place. It showed that the proportion of boats and planes to go missing to be no greater than any other area of water. Of course the debate still goes on about the area and the statistics are spun in whatever direction a new report or book wants them to lean.\n\nIf there is mysterious goings on in the area the most likely explanation is the abundance of methane hydrates in the area. A methane hydrate is a form of water ice that contains a large amount of methane within its crystalline structure and is solid up to 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Ruptures of the hydrate can release vast amounts of methane gas. This gas could cause the density of the ocean to reduce enough to sink a ship in the effected area. The gas could also affect aircraft by lowering lift, giving false altimeter readings, and even stall and aircraft’s engine. These effects of methane gas have all been experimentally proven.
