In March 1918, the USS Cyclops traveled through the Bermuda Triangle, and without any warning or plea for help, disappeared with all 306 passengers and crew members (Fawcett). Twenty-seven years after the USS Cyclops went missing in December 1945, five U.S. navy bombers flying from Fort Lauderdale vanished somewhere within the imaginary lines of the Bermuda Triangle after realizing that they were lost (Fawcett). Both of these occurrences along with many others have struck a nerve with those who hear about them. The stories of disappearing vessels and aircrafts filled with innocent passengers run rampant and crazy theories are formulated in an attempt to bring clarity, closure, or even to provide an explanation for what has occurred in the Bermuda Triangle. What is the Bermuda Triangle? The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the Atlantic Ocean that is located between Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico; when the three areas are connected by lines they form a perfect triangle (Armand). The number of disappearances is what scares people the most; over the past 500 years fifty vessels and twenty planes, both military and otherwise, have simply vanished bringing the count of missing human beings to over 1,000 in that area alone (Bhattachayra). Despite the mysterious occurrences, the Bermuda Triangle is no more dangerous than any other part of the ocean. In fact, there is evidence that suggests that the disappearances are deemed logical with countless scientific facts and explanations as opposed to more occult and outlandish theories.
In December 1945, five aircraft Navy bombers flew through the Bermuda Triangle. The radio call from the leader of the flight crew reported that the aircrafts had gotten lost, and some time after the call, all five of the bombers had disappeared; no wreckage was ever found

Following this event, many theories were fabricated to attempt to justify this strange incident, which is typical of human beings; however, this was not the first disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle. There have been recorded disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle as far back as 1854 when the schooner Bella disappeared (Gaddis). The most recent disappearance was recorded in 2015 when a ship sank and no
In Nickell’s scholarly journal, The Bermuda Triangle and the ‘Hutchinson Effect’ (2007), private investigator, teacher, and author Joe Nickell claims that the mysterious disappearances of ships and planes in the Bermuda Triangle may have been caused by such phenomena as undersea bases established by extraterrestrials, time warps, and “electronic fogs” associated with the “Hutchison Effect”. Nickell frequently refers to and cites John Hutchison’s accumulated research which explains how the Hutchison Effect could be linked to the disappearances of ships and planes in the Bermuda Triangle as the Hutchison Effect is described as a highly-anomalous electromagnetic effect which can cause the jellification of metals, spontaneous levitation of random
The Bermuda Triangle is considered to be one of the largest unsolved mysteries of time. There have been numerous studies that resulted in the emergence of the unusual theories known today. Some people often believe that supernatural forces caused the incidents that have happened in the triangle. Others believe that humans are the main driving force for these occurrences. The beliefs in the unusual disappearances, methane gas pockets, and weather patterns that occur in the Bermuda Triangle do not support the theory of supernatural phenomenon.

The perplex mystery of The Bermuda Triangle has existed for decades, the earliest being in 1492 when Christopher Columbus documented outlandish compass readings and a fireball falling from the sky in his ship’s log.

("BERMUDA TRIANGLE." The Bermuda Triangle. N.p., n.d. Web. 18 Oct. 2014.) Does the myth even exist? Theories range from sea monsters pulling ships to their watery grave to electronic fog tagging along to planes and disorientating pilots. But which is true? Are rouge waves, electronic fog, and a sizably voluminous number of other oddities responsible for the countless disappearances, or do ships and planes simply pick erroneous weather to travel in?
