THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE OF SPACE

There’s a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where mysterious disappearances of ships, aeroplanes and people have been reported. It’s long been known as the Bermuda Triangle, and it has led to much speculation over the years over what exactly may be causing it.

Could it be extraterrestrials, some force pulling objects under the sea or a link to the fabled lost city of Atlantis? Or could it simply be bad weather, human error or heavy traffic in the region? In truth, no one knows for certain, but more than 50 ships and 20 planes are understood to have vanished since the mid-19th century. In reality that’s not of a greater frequency than any other well-travelled area of the ocean, but still the conspiracy theories persist.
