The Bermuda Triangle - Short and Sweet
The Bermuda Triangle is an area of the ocean between Bermuda Island, Maiami and Porta Rico in the shape of a triangle. Many different mysterious incidents and disappearances have taken place within the triangle which have claimed over 1000 lives in the past 100 years. There are many theories that try to explain the things that have happend in the bermuda triangle including:

- A weapon from Atlantis which destroyed Atlantis itself

- Gas bubble pulling everything down into the ocean

- Aliens

- A black hole

- Strong magnetic fields

- Pirates

- A time warp

- Another one of the US 's secret hideouts

- Atlantis rising to the surface of the sea, causing bad weather

- Giant octapus pulling everything under the sea

On 5 December 1945, five Navy Avenger bombers left the plane staton at Fort Launderdale. They were on a training mission for the day to practice bombing but what they didn 't know was that they we 're headed straight for the bermuda triangle. At 3:50pm a radio transmission was overheard which said "I don 't know where we are. We must have got lost after that last turn." Later on there was another message which said that the compasses were broken and that they still had no idea of where they were. Night came and all contact with the bombers were lost. At 6:20pm the first rescue plane went out in search of the missing aircrafts. At 7:50 there was another radio transmition although not from the bombers. It was from a ship that had reported seeing an "enormous sheet of fire" from a nearby explosion. They reported drifting through oil but did not find any remains of anything. The Navy Avenger bombers were never found.

There are numerous reports of horrible storms, planes and boats disapearing and compasses spinning in all different directions but there are still people bilieve it is a hoax. Although there are another 11 areas of the sea which have had many similar reports as the bermuda triangle, these areas are known as the "12 Devil 's Graveyards". One

    The Roswell Incident: Conspiracy Or Cockamamie?

    In early July of 1947, most likely around July 4th or 5th, something crashed to the Earth in the high desert of eastern New Mexico (Carey & SChmitt, 2009). Mac Brazel, a ranch hand on the J.B. Foster ranch, went to check on his sheep one morning after a series of severe thunderstorms. He was concerned about the wellbeing of his cattle because he heard a very loud explosion the night before during the storm. Upon riding out to the pastures, Brazel discovered a huge amount of strange debris scattered across the fields. Not knowing what this strange debris was, Brazel gathered some of it and showed it to his friends…

    Lord Of The Flies Chapter Summaries

    Didn’t you hear what the pilot said? About the atom bomb? They're all dead." (Golding 16). It made me think that the plane that crashed was trying to get away from something that was happening and maybe the reason for the crash was that someone tried blowing it out of the sky and kill the people on board. I also think that the "something" they were running from was a war between two countries and all the people on the plane were from a war-zone trying to escape.…

    Strengths And Weaknesses Of The Revolutionary War

    The Revolutionary War was a tragic and painstaking war fought between America and Great Britain from April nineteenth, 1775, to September third, 1783. The main conflict was over America’s longing for independence, and Britain denying them of this freedom. Even though Britain was at the height of its power, and the United States had a ragtag army and limited resources, America was the unlikely victor. While Britain appeared to have the upper hand, America had a few unpredictable advantages. First of all, allies such as France and Spain aided them on many different grounds that pulled them to victory. Strength was also found in the leadership from the generals, particularly George Washington.…

    Flight 19 Research Paper

    Many ships and planes were lost in triangle leaving behind unknown explanation but flight 19 is the most famous incident. It was already 4 month that world war II had over. Still it was the mission for the thirteen men to fly due east which was 56 miles to hens and chicken shoals to conduct practice-bombing runs. After that objective had been completed, the flight plan called for them to fly an additional sixty-seven miles east, and then turn north for seventy-three miles and finally straight back to base. This course would take them on a triangular path over the sea. About an hour and a half Lt. Taylor reported that his compass is broken and its not working. Planes today have a number of ways that they can check their current position, including listening to a set of GPS (Global Positioning Satellites) in orbit around the Earth. He was a good pilot, but he hadn't spent a lot of time flying east toward the Bahamas, which was where he was going on that day. Apparently Taylor had become confused at some point in the flight. For some reason Taylor thought the flight had started out in the wrong direction and had headed south toward the Keys, instead of east. By 4:45 P.M. Inside the control room it was obvious to the people that Taylor was hopelessly lost. He was told to turn control of the flight over to one of his students, but apparently he didn't. After a time, connection was disappeared from the people in the…

    To Kill A Mockingbird-Personal Narrative

    June 6, 1944, 0630 hours (MacDonald). Not a single gull in the sky. All that could be heard were the crashing of waves against the side of the boat, the vomiting of my brothers in arms due to sea sickness and fear, and my own heartbeat, beating louder than it ever had. Water was continuously spilling over into the boat, waves crashing down over the walls soaking all of us inside. It was foggy, the sun could only be seen as a smear of light behind the gray and black that consumed the morning sky. Our boat was moving, I knew where to, but its direction almost impossible to tell. All that could be seen from inside the boat was the sky and the four walls that surrounded me. I was experiencing all these sounds and distractions and movements, yet, I felt as though I was…

    Pearl Harbor: A Tragic Events In American History

    On November third, 1941 Japanese authorities got a top-secret order that said in 34 days they were to bomb Pearl Harbor. A cryptologist intercepted a Japanese message that inquired about ship movements and where they were located in Pearl Harbor. She then sent it to her superior who said “he would get to her the following Monday, December eighth” (remembering). It was Sunday, December seventh, and unknown to the United States several Japans aircraft was stealthily steaming towards Pearl Harbor. American thought nothing of an attack as most of the soldiers had been granted to go attend Sunday morning services. “At 7:02am a radar operator on Oahu saw a ginormous group of airplanes heading toward the island, he called his superior who said not to worry it was just U.S B-17 bombers coming in from the mainland (Pearl Harbor Bombed).” As the bombs started falling down to Pearl Harbor it destroyed or damnaged: twenty-one battleships, killed over three thousand soldiers, and planes rendered useless (Pearl). American was like a sleepy giant that got woken up. Out of all the battleships only eight was anchored in the…

    The existance of Atlantis in Thera

    For more than three thousand years, the world has been trying to solve one of the biggest mysteries on the planet; Atlantis. Its story has captivated thousands of adventurous and curious people for centuries, some who have even dedicated their lives to the search of this place. Since the medieval ages, many men who knew the story of Atlantis sought for the lost world with no results (Muñoz 18). More than five thousand books have been written about the mystic city, unfortunately, it has not been found yet. Because there is not any physical proof or ruin of this place, many do not believe in the existence of Atlantis, leaving the topic unconcluded since Plato’s age. The only clear source there is about the Atlantis is Plato’s dialogue of Timeo and Critias, written around 350 B.C (Bolivar). In this text, Atlantis is described as an island that is bigger than Southern Asia and Libya together (Muñoz 18). It also mentions that it was fully developed and that bridges made of ivory, describing it as heaven on earth (“Atlantis: The Lost Continent”). Thanks to the many theories about Atlantis, all the submerged cities that have been found in the past years and the mentioning of a lost culture in a couple of ancient texts, it is believed this city was real but that it will take time to find it. In different places of the world, there have been findings of what appears to be a submerged city, like in 2004, a group of scientists thought they had found the lost city in Marisima of Hinojos, Spain (Miranda 31). Still, what is more likely is that Atlantis was located at the south of Greece, in what was known as Thira, today known as Santorini. Some ancient cultures, such as the Egyptians, have some sort of reference to an advanced civilization that got lost in the seas, and this is believed to be making an allusion to the so sought city. If the existence of Atlantis…

    When adrift in the ocean, Louie and Phil had believed they were never going to be rescued, until they were spotted. “The weekend men couldn’t row fast enough to escape. They gave up and stopped” (Hillenbrand 178). After being treated and cared for, the men were taken to a few atolls, and the last atoll Louie went to was Omari, where Louie (and everyone else) found hope. “From the sky came an immense shivering sound…There, so high that they appeared to be gleaming slits in the sky, were acres and acres of B-29’s” (Hillenbrand…
