Bermuda Triangle

An area in the Sargasso Sea (Atlantic Ocean), in which mysterious disappearances of ships and aircraft regularly occur, also time shifts, and other anomalous phenomena. Bounded by a triangle with vertices in Miami, Bermuda and San Juan (Puerto Rico).

Supporters and skeptics of the anomaly of these phenomena have been arguing about their nature for centuries.

According to supporters.
This is not the only area where such phenomena are observed. A striking example is the so-called Devil's Sea area, 128 km south of Tokyo. A number of researchers put forward a hypothesis according to which anomalous zones like Bermuda and the Devil's Sea are located symmetrically along the northern and southern fortieth latitudes and equidistant from each other, they indicate anomalous activity near the southeastern coast of Brazil, at the Atlas Mountains (northwestern Africa) and other regions of the planet . Various hypotheses putting forward to explain a wide range of those anomalies, from an ultrasound affecting the psyche to the zones of another (or intermediate) spatio-temporal dimension in which the crew and passengers might fall.

According to skeptics.
Argued that the disappearance of ships in the Bermuda Triangle occur no more often than in other areas of the oceans, and are due to natural causes. The area is very difficult to navigate: there are a large number of shoals, cyclones and storms often arise. At the same time, popular water and air routes from the Caribbean Sea to Europe and from the East Coast of the United States to South America run through this section, and therefore navigation here is quite active. The same opinion is shared by the US Coast Guard and the insurance market.

In scientific community dominate an opinion that the disappearance of ships occurs for the other reason: because of the huge amount of methane contained at the bottom of this "triangle". Numerous experiments really proved that methane-saturated waters can easily sink various ships. However, the "methane" theory cannot explain a lot of phenomena like numerous evidence of temporal anomalies occurring when passing through the triangle, as well as the disappearance of the crews, while their property remained in its place.
