Bermuda Essay Research Paper A legendary triangle

Bermuda Essay, Research Paper

*A legendary triangle of Ocean lies between 3 countries upon the Atlantic

*ocean. The Cities are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Fort Lauderdale. Ships,

*people and aeroplanes have been reported mysteriously disappearing off the

*face of the earth whilst travelling inside this triangle. It soon acquired

*the name “Devils Triangle” owing to peoples superstitions that the devil

*was at play on this stretch of ocean and gobbling up weary and lost

*travellers with great delight, but what actually was at play inside this

*triangle of rough water, is it really the devil., or perhaps aliens are

*using this spot as their home base on earth. Maybe it really does contain a

*mystical vortex that sucks people down into a third dimension.

*

*The myth of the mysterious triangle was first begun in an Associated Press

*dispatch of September 16, 1950. Reporter E.V. W. Jones wrote of “mysterious

*disappearances” of ships and planes between the Florida coast and Bermuda.

*Two years after this article appeared Fate magazine ran an article by

*George X. Sand about a “series of strange marine disappearances, each

*leaving no trace whatever, that have taken place in the past few years” in

*a “watery triangle bounded roughly by Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico”.

*

*It was not long before ideas and suggestions started forming about this

*piece of ocean. M.K. Jessup wrote about the disappearances and gave ideas

*about alien intelligences being behind them in the book “The Case for the

*UFO. The view was also echoed by Donald E. Kyhoe who is noted for his “The

*Flying Saucer Conspiracy” of 1955. Frank Edwards (Stranger Than Science)

*agreed with the theory of aliens having a local hangout in the triangle as

*well. Finally a man by the name of Vincent H. Gaddis came up with the

*phrase “Bermuda Triangle”.

*

*Vincent Gaddis wrote an article in February 1964’s edition of Argosy and

*incorporated the story later in his book “Invisible Horizons” titled “The

*Deadly Bermuda Triangle”. And there was the birth of the now world famous

*myth of the Bermuda Triangle.

*

*Throughout the years it has featured in many many articles, books,

*television series and movies and always portrayed as a very real and

*mysterious thing, but anyone out there with any sense surely will ask

*themselves ” how in this day and age could boats, planes and other

*travellers just go mysteriously missing in a certain piece of water.”

*”wouldn’t an aeroplane full of international travellers be afraid to travel

*over this part of the ocean”….Well let me tell you I’ve always asked the

*same questions myself and I personally have come to the conclusion that the

*entire thing is nothing more than a myth hyped up over the years by wrong

*facts and silly overexaggerated stories told down through the generations

*of people willing to listen to any kind of mysterious story with a unknown

*edge to it.

*

*

*

*One of the most famous stories to ever surround the Bermuda Triangle is the

*mysterious disappearance of the Naval Air Flight 19.

*

*So what happened.

*

*On December 5th, 1945, five Avenger torpedo bombers left the Naval Air

*Station at Fort Lauderdale. They never returned home.

*

*The Avenger bombers contained 14 men, 13 of those were trainees in the last

*stages of their training along with Lt. Charles Taylor. The five pilots had

*been recently transferred from the Miami Naval Air Station. Lt. Taylor knew

*the Florida Keys well but had no knowledge of flying over the Bahamas which

*was the direction Flight 19 was headed in.

*

*Their mission on that day was for practice bombing at hens and Chicken

*Shoals fifty-six miles away. Once that was accomplished, the Avengers were

*to continue on eastward for another sixty-seven miles, then head north

*seventy-three miles. Following that they would turn southwest and head for

*home. In other words they were flying a triangular flight path through what

*would be called the Bermuda Triangle.

*

*At 3.50pm that afternoon a pilot and his flight instructor, Lt. Robert Cox

*were about to land at Fort Lauderdale. They overheard a radio transmission

*addressed to someone named Powers. Powers replied, “I don’t know where we

*are. We must have got lost after that last turn.”

*

*A little later on Lt. Cox managed to establish radio contact with another

*of the Pilots on the lost Avengers out at sea. Speaking with Lt. Taylor he

*was informed that Taylor’s compasses were not working and he was sure that

*they were in the “keys”, meaning Florida keys, and that he didn’t know how

*to get to Fort Lauderdale. Cox urged him to fly north toward Miami “If you

*are in the keys.”

*

*Taylor was badly mistaken, he in
