1. Introduction

It’s a peaceful world, isn’t it? Everything goes smoothly, perfectly and we never have to wonder about abnormalities, right? Unfortunately, our world is not perfect, but this doesn’t mean that it fails to be amazing. The same mystery that makes our different world from normality is the one that awards it the most valuable asset: the enigma behind it. So have you ever wondered how ships and planes disappear in the Bermuda Triangle, how UFOs might exist, how a simple superstition makes people throw coins at The Trevi Fountain? Have you ever been amazed at the perfection of the Nazca Lines, without knowing their origin? Or have you just admired them aside from the mystery? And finally, have you ever heard of a special spot in the world where gravity fails? Therefore, this assignment’s main purpose is to inform about these mysteries that make our world so perfectly imperfect! We will discuss about the tradition of throwing coins in the Trevi Fountain, the most beautiful fountain in Rome; we will examine the Nazca lines and still be dazzled. Following, the UFO existence will be discussed through some interesting facts that happened during the history of the world. And to conclude, we will examine two spots in the world where having a compass will not do any good: the Mystery Spot and the Bermuda Triangle. At the end of this assignment we will be able to understand the origin and mystery of these curious phenomena, and provide a personal

    Although they are often overlooked, there are a lot of facts surrounding the Bermuda Triangle mysteries. The Coast Guards, who have been involved in several accidents in the area, are one of the few groups who pays a lot of attention to the facts involved. According to Ara C. Trembly, author of The Bermuda Triangle, no threat to insurers?, the Coast Guard does not pay attention to the ridiculous supernatural explanations that are so often believed. There have been explanations ranging from alien abduction to kidnappings by an advanced civilization, but the Coast Guard would rather use the facts (Trembly 2). A lot of the stories out there seem a lot more mysterious than they really are, because of the author’s word play (Loxton 103). If you want to know the truth about the infamous Triangle, it is best to look for the facts, rather than strange theories and unreliable authors.…

    The Bermuda Triangle has acquired the name “The Devil’s Triangle”. We can owe this to people’s suspicions of its evils. There are many stories about aircraft and ships along with the people, allegedly disappearing mysteriously and other stories about people stating that they were warped through time after only being in the region of the Bermuda triangle for less then 5 minutes and arrived at a totally different location then where they were a second ago. Disappearances happen randomly every year. Society put the reasons for these mysterious phenomena’s on the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings but some say that there stories are exaggerated over time and numerous official agencies have stated that the number and nature of disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean. Believe or not what you may hear from stories and from word of mouth, but there's only one way to find out for certain what actually happens once you enter the Bermuda Triangle.…

    Stories of strange occurences and bizarre events of the Bermuda Triangle date back as far as 1492. Christopher Columbus was on his famous jouney when he recorded seeing a fireball fly across the sky and land in the ocean, and he also wrote in his log that the ship’s compass was giving inacurate readings and acting strangely. He didn’t tell his crew this for fear of frightening his crew. But then, on October 11, 1492, Columbus and a crewman saw a light over the water, but then it vanished quickly. Hours later, Columbus and his crew sighted the islands of the West Indies. Then the disappearances began. In 1609, the Sea Venture disappeared of the coast of Bermuda. A rescue boat was sent after it, but it disappeared as well. These were the earliest known disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. In 1750, three Spanish ships disappeared off the coast of North Carolina. In…

    The Bermuda Triangle, overall called the Devil 's Triangle, is an undefined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, where different flying machine and boats are said to have vanished under mysterious circumstances. According to the Us Navy, the triangle does not exist, and the name is not recognized by the Us Board on Geographic Names. Popular culture has credited various disappearances to the paranormal or development by extraterrestrial animals. Reported confirmation shows that significant rates of the events were spurious, inaccurately reported, or embellished by later authors. In a 2013 study, the World Wide Fund for Nature recognized the planet 's 10 most risky waters for shipping; however the Bermuda Triangle was not among them. Contrary to popular belief, insurance agencies don 't charge higher premiums for shipping in this area. In this research paper I’m going to reveal about the history of Bermuda triangle, scientific Theories and Supernatural Explanation of Bermuda triangle mysteries.…
