=Bermuda Triangle Mystery**= media type="youtube" key="mFO-utRNTps" height="344" width="425" The Bermuda Triangle, also knows as the Devil's Triangle is know as an unborn legend. The triangle is located on the western part of the North

Atlantic Ocean in which a number of aircraft and surface vessels have disappeared. The most famous US Navy losses which have occurs in the

Bermuda Triangle are the USS Cyclops which occurred in March, 1918 and the Aircraft of Flight 19 in December, 1945. The boundaries of the

Triangle vary; some state its shape is a trapezoid covering the straits of Florida, the Bahamas, and the entire Caribbean island.

The legend of the Bermuda Triangle is a manufactured mystery. Some of the disappearances include methane hydrates on the continental

shelves. Methane gas causes planes to crash and every one in them are most likely to die. Another dangerous gas in the Bermuda Triangle is the

periodic gas. Periodic methane eruptions are capable of proceeding ship-sized bubbles, or areas of water with dissolved gasses, this fluid density

causes boats to sink, not float.

Christopher Columbus was the first person to document something strange in the Triangle, reporting that he and his crew observed "strange

dancing lights on the horizon", flames in the sky. After Christopher Columbus announced that statement, many tests have been taken to see why

these strange occurrences have happened. There have been more then a dozen accidents, and no one knows how it happened, and there are no

signs left in the water. Scientists have studied this for many years, and always thought the northern lights have been a major part in these

occurrences. They are still testing why these occurrences have happened and they are getting closer each day.
