We all know unusual stories about the Bermuda Triangle, but not everyone knows what kind of triangle it is, absorbing various objects and even people. In fact, the Bermuda Triangle is a triangular section of the Atlantic Ocean. To the north of this site are Bermuda, to the west is Miami, and to the south is Puerto Rico. The unusualness of this area lies in the fact that it is here that ships and aircraft disappear quite often under strange circumstances, which are subsequently found without any hint of the presence of people on them.
People have already managed to put together many legends and conjectures about this unusual zone, with 11 of which we will introduce you today.
1. Human factor
Often, all aircraft and ships are in distress precisely in the area of the Bermuda Triangle due to mistakes made by pilots and captains, although many do not cease to associate this with various anomalies. For example, in 1958, businessman Harvey Conover disappeared on his yacht in the Bermuda Triangle, which happened solely through his fault. The fact is that Conover did not heed the warnings of an approaching storm and set off on a voyage.
2. Magnetic anomalies

Many who have found themselves in the area of the Bermuda Triangle noticed that compasses in this area behave strangely and give incorrect readings. In this regard, a legend appeared about the intervention of aliens. But in fact, the Bermuda Triangle is not the only place on the planet where similar anomalies are found. The compass will behave in the same way, for example, in the Gobi Desert, as well as at the North and South Poles.
3. Gulf Stream
Many people associate the loss in the Bermuda Triangle with the Gulf Stream, which is one of the main currents in the world's oceans. Due to the speed of the water reaching 2.5 meters per second, in this current any debris, debris and even an aircraft will be carried to a distance of several kilometers in just a couple of minutes. And given that the deepest depression is 9 kilometers deep under the water, it is almost impossible to find something sunken in this area.
4. Deposits of methane hydrate
Often, frequent losses in the Bermuda Triangle area are associated with deposits of methane hydrate located at the bottom of the continental shelf. It is believed that due to gas bubbles rising to the surface, ships can lose their buoyancy and sink. Since this happens very quickly, the team does not even have time to send a distress signal. But given the fact that such deposits are found in other places of the world's oceans, it is difficult to agree with this speculation.
5. Unpredictable and changeable weather
Severe tropical cyclones, storms and hurricanes are common in the Bermuda Triangle area. They happen most often unexpectedly, which is disastrous for small ships.
6. Time loops
Some believe that all missing planes and ships disappear in time loops and portals. As a result, they end up in the same place, but at a completely different time. Those ships that could not be found could not find a way out of this loop.
7. Atlantis
We all know the story of the mysterious ancient city of Atlantis, which existed about 10 thousand years before our era. This thriving civilization perished in just one night due to a terrible catastrophe. Many believe that the remnants of Atlantis are located exactly at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle, and they are precisely the cause of all the anomalies occurring in this area. Unfortunately, it is impossible to prove or disprove this theory due to the immense depth in the Bermuda Triangle region.
8. UFOs and alien abductions
Although the existence of aliens has not yet been proven, some attribute everything that happens in the Bermuda Triangle to them.
9. Pirates
Many believe that the fault of everything that happens in this anomalous zone is none other than pirates, thieves and smugglers. But the fact is that the pirate profession has long since sunk into oblivion, and the current representatives of pirates are unlikely to undertake the sinking of ships and plane crashes.
10. Gravitational fields
There are gravitational fields that are increasing in one or another part of the planet. So far, no one can explain the reason for the appearance of these fields, but it is believed that at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle there is just such a gravitational field, which, due to its force of action, sinks ships and brings down planes.
11. The Bermuda Triangle just doesn't exist
There is also an opinion that the Bermuda Triangle simply does not exist, and it is just a fiction of impressionable people.
