Im sure you have heard of one of the most popular mysteries, the Bermuda Triangle. This kind of mystery is all natural and not man-made(I think), the name Bermuda Triangle comes from three places, Puerto Rico, Bermuda and Florida. When you draw a line in between them, they make a triangle so thats where the name Bermuda(From one of the places) Triangle(The shape which the places make) comes from. What makes Bermuda Triangle dangerous?, well nothing ordinary only that this place is the most dangerous waters in the world. Bermuda Triangle made dozens or aircrafts, more than 30 ships and a lot of people disappear into thin air.  These mysterious disappearances caught the scientists and many people's eyes. There are only some theories explaining these disappearances, but most of them aren't explainable.

Some say that these are super natural forces or some unknown material that made possible for these disappearances. While a lot others believe these are the work or aliens, they thought that these aliens kidnap people and experiment on them. The U.S navy and the scientists are explaining  the people that there are no supernatural forces acting behind the disappearances, their experience suggests that the combined forces of nature and human fallibility outdo even the most incredulous science fiction, but who knows if they are supernatural or just some massive hurricane.Environmental considerations could explain many, if not most, of the disappearances. The majority of Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes pass through the Bermuda Triangle, and in the days prior to improved weather forecasting, these dangerous storms claimed many ships. Also, the Gulf Stream  can cause rapid, sometimes violent, changes in weather.

The area referred to as the Bermuda Triangle covers about 500,000 square miles of ocean off the southeastern tip of Florida. When sailed through the area on his first voyage to the New World, Christopher Columbus reported that a great flame of fire (probably a meteor) crashed into the sea one night and that a strange light appeared in the distance a few weeks later. He also wrote about erratic compass readings, perhaps because at that time a sliver of the Bermuda Triangle was one of the few places on Earth where true north and magnetic north lined up.

William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest," which some scholars claim was based on a real-life Bermuda shipwreck, may have enhanced the area's aura of mystery. Nonetheless, reports of unexplained disappearances did not really capture the public's attention until the 20th century. An especially infamous tragedy occurred in March 1918 when the USS Cyclops, a 542-foot-long Navy cargo ship with over 300 men and 10,000 tons of manganese ore onboard, sank somewhere between Barbados and the Chesapeake Bay. The Cyclops never sent out an SOS distress call despite being equipped to do so, and an extensive search found no wreckage. "Only God and the sea know what happened to the great ship," U.S. President Woodrow Wilson later said. In 1941 two of the Cyclops' sister ships similarly vanished without a trace along nearly the same route.
