Today I'm going to tell you about my second favourite conspiracy theory. I have a book about it at home, which I haven't read yet, but I intend to.
The Bermuda Triangle - one of the world's greatest riddles
The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the North Atlantic Ocean famous for the strange disappearances of ships, planes and people. It stretches between Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico, but the exact boundaries are not well defined. Over the decades, this mysterious location has given rise to many theories - from natural phenomena to paranormal explanations.
It is my second favourite conspiracy theory, after Atlantis. And although sceptics claim it is nothing out of the ordinary, there are cases that are truly bizarre. Here is some fascinating but lesser-known information about this legendary area.
Unusual facts and hard-to-find information
🔹 The Bermuda Triangle is full of underwater methane bubbles
Scientists have discovered that there are huge reserves of methane hydrate on the ocean floor in this area. When methane is suddenly released, it can reduce the density of the water, causing ships to sink without warning. Airplanes, on the other hand, can experience loss of lift or even engine explosions due to the bubbles.
🔹 Unusual magnetic fields
The area is one of the few in the world where compasses point not to magnetic north, but true north. Some believe that these magnetic deviations may be linked to unusual electrical phenomena that could affect navigation systems and cause disorientation for pilots and captains.
🔹 Christopher Columbus and strange lights
As early as 1492, Columbus reported strange light phenomena over the area. He noticed strange flames and balls of light moving across the sky. Later, other sailors reported similar phenomena.
🔹 Shipwrecks without wreckage
Most of the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle have never resulted in any wreckage or bodies being found, which is unusual as something should have been left on the surface of the ocean. One such example is Flight 19, a squadron of five American bombers that disappeared in 1945. Their rescue aircraft also disappeared.
🔹 Atlantis and the crystal pyramids?
One of the more exotic theories is that the remains of the lost civilisation of Atlantis lie at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle. In 1968, an underwater structure called the "Bimini Road" was discovered near the Bahamas, which is believed to be part of an ancient route. Some researchers believe that there are also large crystal pyramids underwater that emit energy pulses and affect electronic devices.
🔹 Electronic fog and time lapses
Some pilots who have flown over the area have reported a strange "electronic fog" that caused their instruments to fail. The most famous example is pilot Bruce Gernon, who experienced a strange phenomenon in 1970 - he flew 150 km in just a few minutes and all radar traces of his aircraft disappeared. This strange "time jump" remains unexplained.
🔹 An area of frequent storms and wild sea waves
The Bermuda Triangle is one of the places where strong ocean currents meet, causing sudden storms and waves that can reach heights of up to 30 metres. Such waves could sink a ship in an instant without leaving any trace.
Reality or myth?
Although there are natural explanations for some of the disappearances, the Bermuda Triangle remains shrouded in mystery. Ships and planes continue to disappear, and stories of strange lights, magnetic disturbances and temporal anomalies continue to emerge. Are they natural phenomena, human error or something we don't yet understand?
Perhaps one day we will find the final answer, but until then, it remains one of the most fascinating mysteries of our planet.
Of course, artificial intelligence helped me to write it, but it is still a really interesting post.
