Topograghy Of The Ocean Floor:
The topography of the ocean floor varies from extensive shoals around the islands to some of the deepest marine trenches in the world. With the interaction of the strong currents over the many reefs the topography is in a state of constant flux and the development of new navigational hazards is swift.

Compass Variation:
Also pointed out is the great discrepancy between Magnetic North, and the North Pole in the region (a fact noted by Columbus on his voyage).

The Bermuda Triangle is one of only two places on earth that a magnetic compass does actually point towards true north. Normally it points toward magnetic north. The difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 20 degrees as one circumnavigates the earth. If this compass variation or error is not compensated for, a navigator could find himself far off course and in deep trouble.

An area called the Devil's Sea by Japanese and Filipino seamen, situated off the east coast of Japan, also displays the same magnetic characteristics. It is also known for its mysterious disappearances.

Human Error:
Many a plane or boat have been lost, because of errors in judgement or miscalculations.

Aliens:
Aliens are another possible reason. Anti-gravity technology or other otherworldly energies may be sent off by either a downed UFO, as many of the early reports of the Triangle believed. Also, the Triangle may provide an undersea Earth base for aliens who value privacy, and send out energies to confuse vessels coming a little too close to home.

Atlantis:
Others believe that the Bermuda Triangle Phenomena is caused by the Lost City of Atlantis, sunk thousands of feet below the water's surface. The advanced state of Atlantis at the time of it's submersion, relied on the power of energy crystals. It is possible that these crystals are still at the bottom of the ocean, in a somewhat altered state, sending out rays of energy that either confuses the instrumentation of vehicles, or disintegrates them all together.

Man Made Energy Field:
Lastly, many believe the Bermuda Triangle to be a man-made energy field using Tesla based technologies. A VLF-Resonance transmitter (a technology many believe to be in use by the North American Air Defense Command, or NORAD) would have an antipode directly in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle. This hypothetical system would be capable of recharging speculated secret electric-powered submarine classes, and would definitely provide enough interference to scramble signals that airplanes and boats rely upon.

Generally given less and less credence by experts, it's hard to even get a scholar to mention the Triangle these days, for fear of it dirtying their name. But under the skin of so-called "accepted science" rumbles a scientific underground that will not be put down, logically, or otherwise.
