The Bermuda Triangle
Also known as the Devil’s Triangle, the Bermuda Triangle is believed to be the devil’s lair as most of the unusual disappearances in the triangle had no records of human error, equipment failures or natural disasters
The term “Bermuda Triangle” was initially coined by writer Vincent Gaddis in 1964 in the men’s pulp magazine Argosy. Gaddis was also the one who proposed that Atlantis was real and that it was somehow connected to the triangle.
Let’s have a look at some of the most famous incidents:
1. Accounts of weird activity in the area were already being recorded way back during the days of exploration and early travel. In fact, Christopher Columbus wrote about a large fireball dropping from the sky and into the ocean during one of his journeys in the region in 1492. Columbus claimed what he saw caused his compass to malfunction.
2. One of the most famous Bermuda Triangle mystery would have to be the story of the Mary Celeste. Also known as the Ghost Ship, it was found in full sail on December 4, 1872 without a single passenger on board
3. A large French ship sailing from Hamburg to Havana was discovered intact with all of its cargo, but nobody on board, except for a canary, a cat and some fowl. Whatever happened to the crew remains a mystery…
- On one of its trips, the large American ship Ellen Austin, came across another vessel sailing in the Bermuda Triangle with no one on board. Some of its crew transferred to the other vessel to try and salvage it, but it never actualized due to a storm. On another trip, the Ellen Austin came across once again with the ship and sent some of its crew to scavenge it. No one was on board and few days later, it disappeared again
5. The Deering was found aground off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina in 1921 with its entire crew missing. The ships log and navigation equipment were gone, the crew’s personal effects and lifeboats had also disappeared, leaving investigators completely baffled.
6. The disappearance of the USS Cyclops and its 306 man crew back in 1910 is one of the Bermuda Triangle’s most mysterious incidents. Its disappearance is the single largest loss of life in U.S Naval history not directly related to combat.
7. Newlyweds Frank and Romina Leone went finishing off the coast of Boynton Beach, Florida in their new boat on June 18, 2003. When the couple failed to turn up for work the next day, family and friends began to worry. U.S coastguards were sent out to search the waters of Miami, but neither their boat or bodies were ever found.
8. On January 30, 1948, the Star Tiger left Santa Maria, Azores with 25 passengers on board. It was meant to arrive in Bermuda at 5 a.m, but at some point just before its arrival, the radio operator lost contact with the pilot. Hours later, the plane has disappeared out of sight. A fleet of 26 aircraft were sent out to search of the Star Tiger, which was never found.
9. During the same year as the Star Tiger’s mysterious disappearance, a Douglas Dakota DC-3 flight took off from Puerto Rico, heading for Miami, Florida. Twenty minutes before landing, the flight disappeared from radars and was never to be seen or heard of again. Two more cases very similar cases have occurred since.
10. On October 30, 1954, Flight 441 took off with 42 passengers making their way to Lajes in the Azores Islands. The plane was about 400 miles off the coast line when contact was lost. Flight 441 never arrived at its destination and disappeared without a trace.
11. Five ill fated avenger bomber planes disappeared without a trace on December 5, 1945 while on a training mission. Frequent communication had taken place between the trainees and their flight leader, Charles Taylor during the mission. To make the situation even weirder, the five rescue craft sent after them also disappeared.
12. While flying over the Bermuda Triangle in 1970, American pilot Bruce Gernon experiencing something that he can’t quite logically explain. As he was flying, he flew through mysterious donut shaped hole that formed into a swirling cloud tunnel. At the end of the tunnel the pilot witnessed what he could only describe as an electronic fog, which caused his aeronautical instruments to malfunction. Had he just gone through some sort of time portal?
13. Cary Gordon Trantham was flying home after spending time with her daughter in Florida when she experienced something very strange. While flying over the open water at night, she suddenly flew through a thick bed of fog, which left her flying in pitch darkness. She claims not to have been able to navigate herself as her plane’s instruments went haywire. Lucky escape!
14. On March 12, 2009, passengers aboard a flight spotted strange lights in the skies over what looked like a vortex in the sea. The unexplained sighting was even photographed by naval cameras who claimed the object floated above water for an hour before disappearing.
15. On November 3, 1978, Irving Rivers’ Eastern Caribbean Airways plane disappeared from radars just moments after controllers at the airport in Saint Thomas cleared it for landing. The plane was less than two miles from the airport when it disappeared.
16. It was on January 30, 1948 when Tudor Star Tiger left Santa Maria, Azores with 25 passengers on board. The plane was supposed to arrive in Bermuda at 5 a.m., but it never came. Hours after its supposed arrival, a fleet of 26 aircraft searched for days for the lost aircraft, but never found a single trace of the Star Tiger.
17. A couple of UFOs were spotted on the horizons of the Bermuda Triangle back in 2014 by passengers aboard a cruise ship. The UFOs were described as being bright orange, with lights that gradually dimmed and disappeared after a few moments
18. The Witchcraft was a luxury cabin boat owned by hotel mogul, Dan Burack. On December 22, 1967, Burack and a friend set out about a mile out of the Miami Coastline to view the Christmas lights when the coast guard received a distress call from him. When the coast guard arrived at the site, no boat was to be found.
19. Joshua Slocum was dubbed as the very first man to sail solo around the world in 1895. Although he was considered as one of the best sailors of his time, Joshua Slocum apparently disappeared from the face of the earth in 1909 after allegedly passing through the Devil’s Triangle. He sailed with his old fishing boat called “The Spray.”
UIP Summary: This is only a small list of the mysterious disappearances and the governments must know what really is going on in the Bermuda Triangle! Not many people have survived this strange phenomenon, but the few that have tell the same story which makes me believe that there is definitely a portal in that part of the world.
I truly hope this is the case, as it would be wonderful to know that all of these people who disappeared are actually living a happy life in some other dimensions
