The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is an imaginary triangle located between the points of San Juan, Miami and Bermuda. Christopher Columbus was the first to report strange events in the Triangle. He claimed that strange lights were appearing in the area and that his compass was acting strangely. Countless reports of missing ships and planes were subsequently noted in the area. No one has an answer to the mystery, however several theories have been developed. The Devil's Triangle is a common mystery and controversial topic due to the mystery surrounding it, the specific disappearances and paranormal activity that have been publicized, and researchers' focus on the topic due to their efforts to formulate theories and explanations to solve the mystery. paranormal activity and the significant amount of reported missing ships and planes suggest that the Triangle would be a deadly place for ship travel. However, the area is crossed daily by numerous cruise ships and even airplanes. The World Wide Fund For Nature created a list of the 10 deadliest waters for sailing, but the Bermuda Triangle was not included. The research hinted at reports of several incidents of exasperation or cheating. Despite the evidence, most people still believe that the triangle is not deadly and, in fact, it is completely safe to cross or fly over it. On the contrary, over the last 5 centuries, more than 1000 ships and planes have disappeared missing in the Triangle (http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq8-1.htm). Therefore, the aura of mystery surrounding the triangle is alive and well. Long after Christopher Columbus first noticed strange lights and strange occurrences on his compass in the middle of the paper... the compass went haywire. Less logical explanations also exist, such as alien attacks or particles from the city of Atlantis affecting the magnetic field, and are believed by some people. Other theories such as pirates, time vortices, and methane hydrates are also believed to be a cause (http://adventure.howstuffworks.com/bermuda-triangle8.htm). In conclusion, the Bermuda Triangle is a fictional triangle with a deadly reputation. No explanation has proven correct and the mystery is still to be solved. After countless events of paranomal activity have been reported, it is difficult to believe that the Triangle is a safe place with nothing peculiar, although most researchers think otherwise. The sense of mystery, publicized events of paranormal activity, and the attention of scientists and researchers have continued to fuel interest in the topic.
