The amazing secrets of the Bermuda Triangle

I don’t know about you (and I really don’t know about you…That's a good thing, huh?), but I sometimes like to have some light-hearted fun with mysteries and conspiracy theory stories. The only thing more fun, is checking the facts and debunking them.And what else has more crazy theories swirling around it than the Bermuda Triangle?Can you guess which ones are true and which are fake? Let's find out! See if you can tell which of these bizarre stories about the Bermuda Triangle are true and which are just myths. Have fun!

The bottomless ocean and vile whirlpools.Let’s start with something not too far out of this world.As you probably know, the Bermuda Triangle is situated near the Bahama Islands.And if not for the mystery of its massive neighbor, the Bahamas would be a mystery in itself.Turns out, there’s a strange structure around the islands' bottom.The ocean bottom here is inconsistent.Every now and then, the otherwise sandy floor is replaced by giant dark holes, like a living place for giant eels.Of course, we’re not talking about sea monsters here.At least for now.The most common problem with those caverns, named Blue Holes, is that tidal waves can produce vortices and whirlpools.Experienced divers, who love blue holes with all their hearts, say they're like waterfalls in the sea. They suck thousands of gallons of water into the depths, and nothing escapes them.So can these whirlpools be responsible for all the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle?To be fair, it’s not plausible.First, the whirlpools mostly appear in the inland Blue Holes, situated on the Island and not in the ocean.And secondly, even if a vortex could sink a small boat, it wouldn’t likely be an issue for big ships, let alone airplanes – they’re far above that in every possible way.

What lurks in the depth of Blue Holes?Only about 20% of Blue Holes were ever explored, and there are probably more of them in the Bahamas area than we think.All we know is that they might relate to each other via branching tunnels and caverns.This fact alone might explain why some ships vanished in Bermuda and were never found. It is believed that these tunnels and caverns extend deep into the ocean, and could even be connected to the Mariana trench. This could explain why some ships were never found. It is an area of mystery and intrigue that still remains largely unexplored.

Brace yourself, we’re now stepping into crazy territory with this next question: what if something dragged a ship down there? The local people of Andros Island, part of the Bahamas, have a legend in their folklore about a giant, vile octopus-like creature named Lusca.

Nobody knows how big this creature could be, but all legends point to the Blue Holes as its home. Impossible, right? Well, strangely enough, some giant octopuses were seen, and even caught, nearby, though they weren’t nearly as tall as the legendary creature. But you know how it works; everything expands if you’re scared enough, so this legend may be partially legit.On the other hand, a giant octopus capable of dragging ships to rock bottom?None have grown to a size this substantial as far as we are aware, so this version doesn’t seem too concerning.But it still sounds too cool not to mention!

The city is on the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle. Among paranormal researchers and investigators, there are as many Bermuda Triangle supporters as there are fans of the ancient lost city of Atlantis. Can you imagine the excitement when the first glimpse of strange structures at the Bermuda Triangle bottom was released? Some believe that Atlantis had unimaginable power at its disposal. As those believers say, the leftover influence of this power could be the source of electromagnetic anomalies guilty of misdirecting ships and planes, and leading them to their demise. It all might sound questionable, and even laughable, if not for the fact that there really are some strange structures lying at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle. Some even reported the presence of giant pyramids here; and in some articles it was stated that they were made of glass.In reality, the only giant things here are overstatements.There are no glass pyramids.The structures don’t look like pyramids at all. And to even call them “structures”, as in the remains of man-made buildings, would be too generous for what’s there. These structures are called the Bimini Road.

It lies northwest from the shore of North Bimini island.In fact, it consists of two strange rock formations.Both look suspiciously like building blocks.

At first, it seemed like these rocks were too linear and rounded to be natural.The main hypothesis stated that Bimini Road was the only visible part of a more complex man-made structure, buried in the ocean bottom sand.Further research showed that the underlying ground layers beneath Bimini Road feature nothing but bedrock, with no cavities. That totally excludes these rocks being part of a building.Also, no matter how close researchers looked into Bimini Road, they never found any evidence of masonry on the rocks.So, what can we conclude about the ancient city on the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle?I guess, sometimes, rocks are just rocks; there’s no reason to search for Atlantis in all of them.Debunked!

I’m Not Saying It's Aliens, But…Don’t worry, I’m notot trying to cloud your eyes with weird sightings or other unreliable evidence.Something much more tangible lies within the Bermuda Triangle.With all the stories around the area, it’s no wonder that the ocean floor is littered with shipwrecks from all over the world and from all ages.And as you can imagine, this is a sweet spot for treasure hunters brave enough to explore the mysterious waters of the Bermuda Triangle.One of these treasure hunters was lucky to come across a secret map, made from the planet's orbit in the 60s. This was during one of the first outer space flights.This map shows multiple shipwreck coordinates in the Caribbean area.One of them wasn’t marked as a shipwreck, but as an “unidentified object". If that doesn't attract some attention, I don’t know what will.The lucky treasure hunter in the world believed that these coordinates should lead to the remains of the ship part of Christopher Columbus’ expedition. What was awaiting the explorer 300ft below the ocean’s surface was even more significant. It was an object later classified as a USO - an unidentified submerged object. It was nothing like a man-made ship, and there was no way something like it could have been formed purely by nature.Plastered with layers and layers of coral, the object was unidentifiable.But it was huge, with long protrusions sticking out in bunches of 5 in different directions.Two more identical objects were found nearby; so the protrusion pattern wasn't just random, like a freak of nature.The strangest thing?I can’t debunk it! You may think I’m sold on this finding because I really have nothing to show against it.But I don’t think it’s something extraordinary, because there’s no further research, no scientific articles – just nothing!I don’t think something like this would be ignored, but who knows.Maybe some investigation on strange objects is ongoing on right now, and the scientific community is ready to change our outlook on the universe once and for all.

The Hutchison Effect. Sounds super-scientific, I know.And believe me, I'm not here to debunk science.What I’m talking about lies somewhere beyond traditional knowledge.A lot of Bermuda Triangle stories feature reports, allegedly received from missing aircraft and ships.There are reports about strange cloud formations, tunnels in the air or above water, or the sudden appearance of thick fog sparkling with electric lights.As legend suggests, some of these anomalies can completely disorient any vessel, and also remove them altogether! Some advocates of this theory draw a line between it and the research of Joseph Hutchison. Hutchison tried to prove that electromagnetic fields can collide with each other and produce all kinds of disturbances to reality itself. He’s done countless experiments where electromagnetic fields made objects levitate, fly out of water, and illuminate.Hutchison himself thinks that similar things may have their place in special places like the Bermuda Triangle.

Now you probably know why I’m not too confident about this phenomenon's scientificity. Hutchison's experiments were recorded on camera, but not as documentary proof.It mostly does the opposite.These experiments mostly look like magic tricks, and not like scientific efforts.None of Hutchison's effects were real.All the theories listed above have one cool thing in common.They all show how imaginative people can be.And let’s not forget that imagination is the foundation for exploration and pursuit of real knowledge. And one convincing piece of evidence may turn the table upside down in no time. We just have to wait with our feet on the ground and our eyes on the sky. Even the Bermuda Triangle mystery might eventually be solved, and I can’t wait to know the solution to this riddle.
