It looks like the long-standing enigma of the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle has been resolved. Scientists believe they can refute every alien theory that has been floated, but I’m sure some of you will still require convincing. A 700,000 km2 region of the North Atlantic Ocean has been linked to several ship and aircraft disappearances over the years.
The Bermuda Triangle, commonly referred to as the “Devil’s Triangle,” came into being after Flight 19 vanished on December 5, 1945, five days after it took out from Florida. A rescue plane was sent out, but it vanished as well. Since then, no bodies or debris have been discovered.
Additionally, there have been about ten documented instances of aircraft going awry between 1945 and 2017. Not to add that about 14 ships are reported to have vanished inexplicably between 1800 and 2015.

Thus, you are free to attribute the sporadic disappearances to extraterrestrial abduction, but Australian physicist Karl Kruszelnicki has other views.
“The number of planes that go missing in the Bermuda Triangle is the same as anywhere in the world on a percentage basis, according to Lloyds of London and the US Coast Guard,” Dr. Kruszelnicki told news.com.au.
“They vanish without a trace then another plane sent out to look with them vanishes,” he continued, referring to Flight 19. It must have been aliens, some people said.
The others were unskilled, but there was one guy with experience.
“There were 15-meter waves; the weather wasn’t great.”
The Channel 5 documentary, Secrets of the Bermuda Triangle, repeated these ideas.
Mineral prospector Nick Hutchings stated, “Bermuda’s basically a sea mountain – it’s an underwater volcano,” after carefully examining the local geology. It was protruding above sea level thirty million years ago.
Now that it has worn away, all that’s left is the volcano’s summit.
We have magnetite present in a handful of our core samples. It is the Earth’s most magnetic naturally occurring substance.
“You can just imagine the ancient mariners sailing past Bermuda,” Hutchings continued. That would be really unsettling.
In other words, they simply got lost.
A more philosophical perspective on the subject has been offered by filmmaker and YouTuber Johnny Harris, who states: “Humans have built an excellent instrument for seeing reality… We have the ability to record hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of observations about the world, so they don’t have to all fit into our minds at once.
“If you did that, you would see that there was nothing unusual here, out of the tens of thousands of recorded accidents or casualties at sea recorded over the course of 20 years.”
However, you are still free to think that aliens exist; it is much more entertaining that way.
