Bermuda Triangle 2 Essay Research Paper

Bermuda Triangle 2 Essay, Research Paper

For years, many planes and ships have disappeared in the area of the

Bermuda Triangle. In my essay I’m going to try to find out and tell you, my

fellow students, why this phenomenon is occurring.

The Bermuda Triangle is an area in the world located to the Southeast

of the United States and it is also referred to as the “Devil’s Triangle”. The

triangle is formed by drawing imaginary lines from Melbourne, Florida, to

Bermuda, to Puerto Rico, and back to Melbourne, Florida. The area of the

triangle is 440,000 square miles.

One of the many controversial things about the Bermuda Triangle is

that there have never been any wreckage or bodies found from any reported

missing boat or plane. But there have been discoveries of planes with bodies

in them on the bottom of the ocean off the coasts. None of the found planes

were reported missing. That could be because of the numerous amounts of

planes that disappear in the Bermuda Triangle. Charles Berlitz explains the

number that disappear, “In the period 1974-76 more than six hundred yachts

and other pleasure craft have disappeared off the coasts of the United States,

a considerable percentage of these losses occurring within the Bermuda

Triangle”(13). He also talks about an interview with the press, “Recently,

during a press interview in San Francisco, I was asked by a reporter whether

any disappearances had been noted recently. I replied that a plane had

vanished the previous weekend suggesting that the disappearances in the

Bermuda Triangle, far from being a footnote to the past history of the sea, are

still continuing on the average of a plane about every two weeks and a ship or

yacht almost weekly”(15).

There are many disappearances within the Bermuda Triangle that we

can’t be told about. (Only because they happen to the Navy or the Coast

Guard.) “These probable reasons include the following: 1) Some incidents

may take place in the vicinity of non-NATO ships or planes with potential

international repercussions; 2) other incidents involving loss of

communication contact, alteration from flight plan or course might be

interpreted as lapses of professional expertise; 3) still others seem so fantastic

that they are evidently simply removed from the ship’s logs perhaps for the

reason that an account of an unrelated incident would endlessly complicate

and eventually obscure the report of the basic mission.”(27)explains Charles

Berlitz.

The question of whether there are any famous people that have

disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle has probably come up in your mind.

Well the answer is, yes. Maybe not people that you should know, but it said

that they are famous. They are listed here, each with the number of its

disappearance from the enclosed sheet, along with a little more about them:

- Air Marshal, Sir Arthur Coningham on the “Star Tiger”(#70)

- Harvey Conover, world renowned yachtsman on the “Revonoc”(#89)

- Al Snyder, a famous jockey(#72)

- Joshua Slocum, first solo circumnavigator of the globe on the “Spray”(#15)

- a would-be global circumnavigator, Donald Crowhurst on the “Teignmouth

Electron”(#111). Others have disappeared like bankers, movie makers,

priests, and other well-known people.

There are many theories that different people believe in that explain the

unusual phenomenon of the Bermuda Triangle. Many different theories have

been collected by Charles Berlitz in his book Without a Trace. The following

explains a few.

One theory is that the Bermuda Triangle has a giant magnetic field in it.

Whenever satellites go over the Bermuda Triangle any tapes or pictures that

they try to take of it don’t develop. That could be because tapes are magnetic

and if magnetic forces are used on them, all of the information and data on

them would be erased. The magnetic field would be really powerful if it

actually exists. This supposed magnetic field does not interfere with the orbits

of the satellites, but can erase magnetic tape 8 miles from earth. The

government says that the reason no pictures could ever be taken is that the

user’s tape is rewound. There is no auto-rewind. The scientist, Professor

Meshejan, who submitted the idea of the magnetic field, still thinks that it is a

magnetic field, not a malfunction with the recorder. But that doesn’t explain

any of the glowing water, fire balls, and other unexplained phenomenon that

frequently occur.

Many theorists say that it is all aliens and UFO’s that are making these

planes, people, and ships disappear. Many people have reported seeing giant

glowing disks bigger than ships, flying through the air. (Many of which just

disappear or dive into the water or up into space) Others believe and suggest

that UFO’s are the answer to all these disappearances and unusual

phenomena. (If yo
