1. Scientific Theories Live bombs in the ocean Methane Hydrates
Some may have been left from past wars
Ships sail over them, causing them to explode
Methane Hydrates
There are vast fields of methane hydrates off the southeastern coast of the US, around the edge of The Triangle
Methane eruptions in the ocean can lessen the density of the water, making it inadequate buoyancy for ships
Likewise, methane could have changed the density of the air for planes, thus providing not enough lift
Tidal Waves
They can reach 100 feet in height and are known to take out large ships instantly and easily
Though rare, ocean currents cause tidal waves to erupt in some areas more than others
Waves can be caused by rising methane seeping from the ocean floor

2. Scientific Theories Continued…
A downed Comet
About 11,000 years ago, a comet may have crashed into The Bermuda Triangle area
Scientists believe it could have strange electromagnetic properties that throw off compasses and aircraft engines
Magnetic Fields Askew
It is said The Bermuda Triangle is one of the two places where a compass points true north instead of magnetic north
In the 19th century, it was known to point true north, but Earth’s magnetic fields are constantly changing, therefore varying compasses
Human Error
Unpredictable Weather
Sea Piracy

4. Supernatural/Paranormal Theories
A time vortex a.k.a. “electronic fog”
A strange fog that, when flown into, reportedly causes compasses to spin wildly
Floridian pilot Bruce Gernon reported that he flew into such a cloud and ended up in an area miles away from where he was originally
He concluded he must have gone through some sort of time vortex
UFOs and/or Alien Astronauts
Aliens possibly take our people, planes, ships, and other objects to their planet to study
Some think the objects are sent to another dimension
Sea Monsters
Giant, prehistoric-like monsters sink the ships
Atlantis
Magic crystals left over from the fabled sunken city lie within The Triangle and supposedly cause ships and aircraft to crash and sink
Some believe there is a connection between the “Bimini Road” and Atlantis that causes mysterious things to happen

5. Supernatural/Paranormal Theories Continued…
Government Testing
AUTEC (Atlantic Test and Evaluation Center) is stationed on Andros Island, right in the center of The Triangle
Some believe they don’t just test subs, weapons, and sonar, but rather “reverse-engineered alien technology” in association with extraterrestrials…Could it take down ships and planes?

6. Experts Say… Michael McDonnel
Wrote an article for the Naval Aviation news in 1973
Concluded Flight 19 simply ran out of gas and crashed into the ocean
The flight could have been flying through a magnetic storm, causing all compasses to malfunction
Even though the pilots were experienced, the flight was a training flight…All people make mistakes
As for the lack of wreckage found, the planes were most likely destroyed on impact, and the crewmen probably killed. Had any of the crew survived, they would not have lasted long in the icy water
The bodies would have probably been eaten by the sharks or barracuda that infested the waters

7. Experts Continued… Lieutenant Commander Peter Quinton Allen Hartwell
Meteorologist and satellite liaison officer with the Fleet Weather Service at Suitland, MD
Says The Bermuda triangle is “notorious for unpredictable weather”
If the area is large enough, a thunderstorm can turn into an intense hurricane…But hurricanes can usually be spotted by meteorologists using satellite surveillance.
It is the small, violent thunderstorms known as meso-meteorological storms that they can't predict since they are outside of normal weather patterns.
Allen Hartwell
Oceanographer with Normandu Associates
Waterspouts (Basically tornadoes over the ocean) can pull, raise up, and destroy practically anything
The Triangle has perfect ocean currents of cool and warm water to create such a formation

8. My Opinion…
Before I researched this topic, I leaned more toward the supernatural side…I mean, the world is extremely mysterious, and you never know if things really are what they seem.
However, I now believe The Bermuda Triangle to be nothing more than a freakish area in the ocean. Why?
The many scientific theories cover most, if not all, mysterious aspects of The Triangle, making the disappearances natural
