...First of all, The Bermuda Triangle, also given the nickname "Devil's Triangle", is situated in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean. That is where aircrafts and ships are reported to be missing under mysterious conditions. For the Bermuda Triangle to be considered as the "devil's triangle" their must be some sort of proof that there really is paranormal activity going on in that area. Their are many cases of paranormal activity, but this one is not only the most confusing considering the fact they still haven't found the cause for the incident, but this is also the first ever affair in the history of the Bermuda Triangle. This incident took place a while back on September 17, 1950. It is about the loss of flight 19. Which was a group...

...Real or Coincidence: The Bermuda Triangle When countless planes and ships unexpectedly vanish without any evidence, an enigma is formed, like that of the Bermuda Triangle. “The enigma is that more ships and planes disappear in this area, in fair weather, more than in any other place in the world, for no readily explainable reason,” (Quasar). However, the U.S. Navy fails to even recognize the Bermuda Triangle and claims that the mystery is really no mystery at all but a mere coincidence (“Bermuda Triangle”). How can we know the real truth of the matter without evidence? Using the facts provided, many have researched this area to generate theories in order to fill the gaps of knowledge with explanations, however realistic they may be. The Bermuda Triangle, or the Devil’s Triangle (Krystek), is commonly perceived as the area within Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico in the Atlantic Ocean (Quasar). This area between 500,000 and 1,510,000 square miles (“The Bermuda Triangle”) is often overwhelmed with cargo, cruise, and private ships as well as private and commercial planes traveling through its boundaries (Crystal)....

...I. The Myth of the Bermuda Triangle A: Examples of theories and historical events. B: Environmental reasoning of the location. II. The Popular Mystery of Flight 19 A: The legend of six fighter planes disappearing on a routine flight. B: How the Bermuda Triangle got its name from this mystery. C: The true occurrence of how the mission went and explanation of phenomena. For years there has been an unsolved mystery of disappearances of boats and planes with no trace of evidence left behind. All of these conspiracies had relevance as to the whereabouts of these lost travelers. The locations of these disappearances were within a geographical triangle in the Atlantic Ocean. The corners of this legendary triangle were between three axis points: Miami, Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Bermuda. After some question this so-called triangle gained the name "Devils Triangle," serving to peoples superstitions that the devil was fooling with lost travelers. It also brought to question whether aliens had a selected spot on earth for abduction or could it be a vortex that warps the living to another dimension. Could all of these questionable losses just be a coincidence that conjured up a myth? In the last hundred and fifty years forty ships and twenty planes have disappeared carrying over a thousand people into an oblivion that is yet to be explained (Kusche 10). Even the US Coast Guard is baffled by these series of events. There are also cases of disappearances during search...

...The museum is a place where antique things and art are preserved for the public to be seen, a place where rare things of past and present are kept, a place where you can see a collection of rare things and things of historical interest. Those who want to have a look into the past visit the museum. I was planning to visit this museum long before this assignment but I never had the chance to fulfil it. Last Sunday I took my family and visited the American History Museum, and the Aerospace Museum in Washington D C. Each Museum is divided into various sections. Each section has different exhibits. I spent great time in the History Museum as it pertains to the course I’m taking, but my two kids loved the Aerospace Museum. The museum is in a big building which consists of many big halls. It is managed by all officers and tour guides. To visit the museum is an education in itself and for this reason it is visited by thousands of people every day. Travelers from other states and even foreign countries also make it a point to visit it because it enables them to peek into history and human progress. During the course of history, art has proven to be an important culture of humanity. Not only does art teaches the history of mankind but it passes on the emotions and ideas that cannot be written or verbal expressed. As history takes its course and civilization evolves, we can observe the changes and evolution. The Museum has on display a variety of artifacts from several different...

...life, and experiment with a new life style. Another reason why I want to move there is because I am the kind of person, who always wants to be on the go, and always doing something. Also because I am the kind of person who likes the city life, and I like to be around people. Some where else I would like to go is the tiny island of Bermuda. Ever since I can remember I have wanted to go to the Bermuda Triangle. I'm not really sure why I want to go to Bermuda and the Bermuda Triangle, but it is some where I would like to go. I have always thought that the mysteries, and the stories about the triangle is very interesting, and now I want to got there. The other place that I want to travel to is Fiji. I would like the chance to go there because the islands of Fiji look so beautiful from pictures and I want to see them in person. I don't really want to go see places like Jamaica, because that is a common vacation spot, for many people. I would like to go there some day but, I would rather go to Bermuda or Fiji, as a island vacation.There are many other places that I would love to to travel to, but the main places that I want to go to is New York, Bermuda, and Fiji.

...The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is an area bounded by points in Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico where ships and planes are said to vanish into thin air or deep water. Recently, some people have wondered if there is a Bermuda Triangle connection in the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, even though the jet went missing halfway around the world. The term “Bermuda Triangle” was coined in 1964 by Vincent Gaddis in the men’s pulp magazine Argosy. Though Gaddis first came up with the phrase, a much more famous name propelled in into international popularity a decade later. Charles Berlitz also had a strong interest in the paranormal. He believed not only that Atlantis was real, but also that it was connected to the triangle in some way, a theory he proposed in his bestselling 1974 book “The Bermuda Triangle”. The mystery has since been promoted in thousands of books, magazines, television shows, and websites. Also known as the Devil’s Triangle, the Bermuda Triangle consists of a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, and is defined by points in Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico. It stretches across less than a thousand miles on any one side.The abnormalities on the sea were first noted in 1950 by Edward Jones in the...

...There are a number of paranormal activities that have occurred in the Graveyard of the Atlantic.The favorite theories of the Bermuda Triangle from fantasy writers are, “evil extraterrestrials, residue crystals from Atlantis, evil humans with anti-gravity devices or other weird technologies, and vile vortices from the fourth dimension” (Carroll). According to David Pares, one of the most popular paranormal activities in the Bermuda Triangle, electronic fog, forms when solar energy combines with thunderstorm activity (Bernard). Rob MacGregor and Bruce Gernon introduced electronic fog to the world. Flying their plane, Bonanza A36, on December 4, 1970, Gernon and his father went over the Bahamas. On their way to Bimini, they came across “a...

...The explosion and the consequent sinking of the USS Maine in 1898 is undeniably one of the greatest mysteries that would go down in the cannons of American history. In the Key West Cemetery on 701 Passover Lane stands the statue of a USS Maine sailor, looking into the horizon as if he is trying to find those left behind at Havana’s harbor. Like this sailor, we have attempted to look back at that fateful day to gain a better understanding of what caused the explosion, but also to understand what motivated the United States to invade Cuba thereafter. It had seemed to be a deliberate tactic on the part of the U.S. to declare war against Spain. The United States had an array of ulterior motives behind the dispatch of the USS Maine to Cuba, and although it may have seemed to have been the explosion that caused the U.S. to declare war against Spain, it was actually a set of preconditions: the domestic economics, public opinion, and McKinley’s presidency - that served as the impetus to invade Cuba. It is within this context that it is evident that the United States had utilized the explosion to further its affairs under the guise of democracy and humanitarian cause. The Panic of 1893 that led to a crippling economic depression had been a motivating force behind the expansionist initiatives proclaimed by Republicans. However, the depression had not been the actual cause; it was more like the overly financing and speculation of land and protected industries that led to market bubbles...

...7. CHRISTMAS DAY AIR BATTLE The zenith of B-17C (40 2072)’s wartime service came during its last combat flight. On December 24, 1941 the plane departed from Batchelor Field on what became a dramatic mission. The pilot, Lt. Mueller, was later quoted saying: Christmas of 1941 was sort of sad for our side. Our guys in the Philippines were taking an awful beating from the enemy and were due to receive even worse at Bataan and Corregidore.24 At 10:15 on that morning, December 24, 1941, 40-2072, the lone surviving bomber of the Japanese attack on Clark Field, and the last one of the 30th Bomb Squadron's original nine Flying Fortresses left Australia with two other B-17s for the long trip north to the enemy endangered field at Del Monte. The mission was to evacuate trapped personnel. The flight path took them near the Japanese invasion forces coming ashore at Davao, which threatened the airfield at Del Monte.25 Flying in darkness on a changing course to avoid detection, they arrived at 7:30 pm on the roughly repaired, bomb damaged landing strip at Del Monte. No sooner had they switched off engines than the crews were ordered to cancel their plans to evacuate personnel. Instead, they were to takeoff on a combat mission to bomb Japanese invasion forces coming ashore at Davao. Then they were to continue flying the 1500-mile return trip to Batchelor Field (Australia), as they had done on previous shuttle bombing runs. The three pilots were told to plan their own bombing attack...

...Bermuda Triangle The legend of the Bermuda Triangle or commonly known as the “Devils Triangle” probably started sometime around 1945, when a squadron of five Navy Avenger airplanes disappeared on a training flight, since then unexplained disappearances in the Bermuda triangle have been reported. In 1958 A Douglas DC-3 aircraft containing 32 people went missing, no trace of the aircraft was ever found. Similarly, in 1955 a yacht was found that had survived three hurricanes but was missing all its crew. What is that is doing all this is it some supernatural power or some sensible scientific reason behind this. We've all heard myths about compasses in the Bermuda Triangle spinning wildly out of control, or airplanes and ships just vanishing from the radar and nothing not even the wreckage was ever found, similarly stories of alien abduction of humans and UFO sightings add to the drama. Scientists and geologist have tried to give all these claims a rational reason. Firstly the area of Bermuda triangle is home to the Puerto Rico trench, the deepest point in the Atlantic Ocean furthermore it is frequently hit by strong hurricanes, wind storms and huge tidal waves these two things work simultaneously with the crazy weather bringing down the vessel and taking it deep into the ocean, so deep that it is almost impossible to find it. Secondly, deep beneath the surface of the Bermuda Triangle lie pockets of trapped methane gas, this methane gas could bubble to the surface, reducing the...
