A span of the ocean that holds a fearsome reputation, located
right off the south coast of the United States, the Bermuda Triangle it is.
Some call it The Devil’s Triangle, while others have referred to is Limbo of
the Lost or the Hoodoo Sea. But for many, it is the Bermuda Triangle. This
stretch of water in the Atlantic Ocean is famous for swallowing ships and
vanishing planes. The Harrowing patch of ocean is where the sailors and pilots
are prone to lose contact with the natural world and disappear forever. Though
the exact number is not confirmed, at least 50 ships and almost 20 planes have
often gone missing without any trace.
Unexplained disappearances
of cargo ships and planes have proposed multiple stories. Possible causes for
the catastrophes have been proposed over time, ranging from the paranormal,
electromagnetic interference that causes compass problems, alien kidnapping,
unsettling weather conditions, the gulf stream, and large undersea fields of
methane. Lately, a new argument stems from the science channel where a pair of
meteorologists shares satellite imagery that shows hexagonal-shaped clouds on
the east side, which could be the cause of some of the mysteries plaguing the
triangle that connects Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico.
It is no surprise that the Bermuda triangle has become a subject of countless myths, conspiracies and legends. We have broken down some of the biggest ones for your insight. Take a look!
Honeycomb Clouds
Recently, meteorologists
have discovered that honeycomb cloud configurations could be the reason that
has led to the disappearances of planes and boats in the notorious region
famous as the Bermuda triangle. They shared satellite imagery that displays
hexagonal-shaped clouds on the east side of the Atlantic Ocean. These hexagonal
shapes over the ocean are like “air bombs” which are formed by what is called a
microburst. They make their way from the bottom of the clouds and hit the
ocean, creating waves that can sometimes be massive if they bump into each
other. It causes sea level winds of almost 100 mph and waves over 45 feet. Any
boat or even plane couldn’t avoid crashing in this kind of inclement weather.
Undersea
Methane Gas
We all definitely have
heard that the ocean floor in the region contains large pockets of gas that could
turn the ocean into a frothy soup that swallows ships. Planes being
disappeared, and ships sinking could be due to massive bubbles released from
undersea methane deposits. Also, it is said that this could potentially occur
in just mere seconds leaving no time to allow those onboard people to radio for
help or abandon ship.
Waterspouts
Who doesn’t know about
waterspouts? They are basically tornadoes in the ocean. Water from the ocean
sucked hundreds or thousands of feet into the air. Alongside, a part of the
gulf stream led to high waves which could easily capsize boats. Without any
warning, these waves can hit and could be hundreds of feet high. Not only
ships, but such high waves can also knock out planes that were flying closer to
the water.
