The Bermuda Triangle is one of the great mysteries of the world.  Many ships and planes have mysteriously disappeared in this area for hundreds of years.  To find the Bermuda Triangle, start at Norfolk, Virginia, go west to the Bermuda Islands, south to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and then east to Miami, Florida.  That area is known as the Bermuda Triangle.

        should include the Azores.  In spite of its reputation, it is very beautiful.  The Bermuda Triangle points to Reykjavik, Iceland.  The Bermuda Triangle is notorious for unpredictable weather.                                                           Not everyone disappears in the Triangle.  In 1935, a freighter spotted a yacht called La Dhama.  The crew took the logbook after finding no life onboard.  Arriving at their destination, the freighter’s crew discovered a passenger from the yacht.  The formerpassenger had boarded an oceanliner and watched the yacht sink.  This took place five days before the logbook was taken!  In 1960, a plane disappeared from radar for 10 minutes.  A few moments later, it landed.  The control crew told the piolots about their dissapearence the piolots looked at their watches they were 10 minutes behind.  In 1962, on a clear, sunny day, the pilot of a private jet kept radioing for directions.  It subsequently disappeared without a trace.   In 1970, Bruce Gernon took off from the Bahamas.  Shortly after takeoff, a cloud, shaped like a tunnel, surrounded his plane.  When it cleared, he was at his destination.  It should have taken an hour and 15 minutes.  Instead, it took 45 minutes.  In 1970 the Scorpion, a submarine, disappeared in the Triangle.    In 1967, two seamen of the Queen Elizabeth I were on deck when a low flying plane banked toward the ship and just vanished – no splash – no nothing. In 1963, the S.S. Marine Sulphur Queen vanished in the Triangle.   At least once a year someone disappears in the Triangle. In 1949, a pilot said he could see Miami, but never landed. In 1945 The Witchcraft disappeared less than 15 minutes after signaling for help. In 1944, the Wild Goose nose-dived into the Atlantic Ocean while in the Triangle.   In 1943, Captain Joshua A. Slocum disappeared in the Triangle. In 1942 the Norse Valiant  ran into bad weather and was split in half.  The same thing happened in 1942 to the Anita.  In 1880, the Atlanta disappeared in the Triangle.  The Nerus and Proteus both disappeared the same day, in the same place.

   Christopher Columbus had four problems in the Triangle.  First, a giant ball of fire flew over his ship and crashed into the ocean.  Second a ghostly white light seemed to come from the ocean.  Third, his compass went berserk for 60 seconds.  Fourth, there was no wind, but there were huge, rolling waves.  You need to have wind to have waves.  In 1607, St. Elmo’s Fire hit the mast of George Somers’ ship in the Triangle.  St. Elmo’s Fire is when there is so much electricity in the air that it starts a fire.  Most disappearances have been navy ships and planes.   Most people think UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) have something to do with the disappearances.  Old sailors believed that a sea monster attacked every ship that came into the Triangle.
