The ships compasses began malfunctioning, there were mysterious lights over the water, the sea was rougher than it had been his entire voyage. He said he might have seen a ‘fireball ' fly through the sky and fall into the sea (BuzzFeedBlue, 2017). In 1967 on December 22. Dan Burack, an experienced sailor had taken his father onto his boat ‘Witchcraft ' to see the Christmas lights along the shore of Miami late at night (Dorsey, 2014). This boat was built to be unsinkable, it had a floatation device in it so if the boat was filled with water half the boat will still float (BuzzFeedBlue, 2017). At 9 pm, Dan Burack had called the coast guard and requested a tow to shore, he said he had hit something but it wasn 't an emergency. He said he would fire a flare to identify his position. The coast guard arrived at his location within 20 minutes later but the cabin cruiser was nowhere to be found and there had been no flare fired. A 1,200-square mile search was issued but the cabin cruiser and both passengers were never found (Dorsey, 2014). The most famous disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle is Flight 19 (Allen, 2011).

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. What explanation is at hand for the vast amounts of disappearances of planes and ships alike? Over the last 30 years, 700 boats, 120 planes, and hundreds of lives has simply vanished. ("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?
With the evidence that scientists have found, there are only a picked few that we can make sense of. Some of the more popular ones, like the USS Cyclops and the Navy’s 5 torpedo bombers, really astound and persuade me to think that there really is something unusual happening in the Bermuda Triangle. They are persuading me because of how many things could have happened. Scientists believe that these ships and aircrafts get sent into an alternate or parallel universe,which is why we can’t find them. I think that most of the debri from the ships and aircrafts might be found in or around the Puerto Rico Trench, which covers 440,000 miles of sea, and is mostly undiscovered.
