The
Bermuda Triangle, also known as the
Devil's Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North
Atlantic Ocean where a number of
aircraft and
surface vessels are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Popular culture has attributed these disappearances to the
paranormal or activity by
extraterrestrial beings.

Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the
incidents were spurious, inaccurately reported, or embellished by later
authors.
Contrary to popular belief, insurance companies don't charge higher rates for passage through this area.
Computer studies of ocean floors around the world, particularly the area
known as The Bermuda Triangle, reveal evidence of massive methane
explosions in the past. For years, believers in the paranormal, aliens,
and other outlandish theories pointed to the the disappearance of ships
and aircraft as an indicator of mysterious forces at work in the
"Devil's triangle." Scientists have finally pointed the rest of us to a
more plausible cause.
The 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.
Any
ships caught within the methane mega-bubble immediately lose all
buoyancy and sink to the bottom of the ocean. If the bubbles are big
enough and possess a high enough density they can also knock aircraft
out of the sky with little or no warning. Aircraft falling victim to
these methane bubbles will lose their engines-perhaps igniting the
methane surrounding them-and immediately lose their lift as well, ending
their flights by diving into the ocean and swiftly plummeting.
