For decades, the Bermuda Triangle has enchanted us all. Whomsoever has entered the triangle by ship or by air has never returned. Due to it notoriety, it has been given the name of ‘Devil’s Triangle’. The Bermuda triangle lies in the Atlantic ocean, and roughly forms a triangle if you join Miami, Bermuda and the coast of Peurto Rico. For years and years, scientists have tried to find out the exact reason for it’s behavior. But after all their efforts, the debate still rages on !
Some people are of the opinion that the Bermuda triangle is a result of paranormal forces at work. Some others believe that the triangle has got to do something with aliens and UFO’s and all that jazz. Still some others believe that the triangle is an epicentre of some strange magnetic feild caused by the earth itself ! While some others rubbish the bremuda triangle phenomeon and attribute ‘human error’ as the sole reason for all the mishaps that have happened since. There is even a more bizarre theory that suggests that the triangle behaves so due to the leftover technology from the lost continent of ‘Atlantis’
I am sure you all would be surprised to know that it was none other than Christopher Columbus who was the first ever person to notice the oddity of the Bermuda Triangle ! In one of his diary logs, he is reported to have documented the following on October 11th 1492:
“The land was first seen by a sailor (Rodrigo de Triana), although the Admiral at ten o’clock that evening standing on the quarter-deck saw a light, but so small a body that he could not affirm it to be land; calling to Pero Gutiérrez, groom of the King’s wardrobe, he told him he saw a light, and bid him look that way, which he did and saw it; he did the same to Rodrigo Sánchez of Segovia, whom the King and Queen had sent with the squadron as comptroller, but he was unable to see it from his situation. The Admiral again perceived it once or twice, appearing like the light of a wax candle moving up and down, which some thought an indication of land. But the Admiral held it for certain that land was near… “
Even after centuries, we are unable to reach a consensus on this mystery…or myth..or whatever you may believe it to be! What do you think? What is the mystery behind the triangle?
