Seven theories about the Bermuda Triangle


1. Comet
According to this version, 11,000 years ago at the bottom of the ocean has fallen comet - just at the point where now there is the infamous Bermuda Triangle. Celestial body might well have unusual electromagnetic properties capable of disabling navigational equipment and aircraft engines.

2. Methane Hydrate
Deep beneath the surface of the Bermuda Triangle formed huge bubbles filled with methane hydrate. When this bubble "matures" and rises to the surface of the water formed a giant hill, from which the ship "slips." Then the bubble bursts, it forms a funnel, which is drawn into the vessel. With the aircraft even easier - a bubble of gas rises into the air, in contact with hot engine and an explosion occurs.

3. The secret government testing
The base on which the sin of the proponents of this theory, called the center of the Atlantic underwater testing and evaluation (AUTEC). Officially, this company has been testing submarines, sonar and weapons. But there is a version according to which that is where the government contacts with extraterrestrial civilizations and experiencing all sorts of alien technology.

4. UFOs or aliens
According to this theory in the deep sea is hiding alien ship, which, unlike the previous version, is studying us and our technology. Or, at least, there are the "gates" in the otherwise unknown to earthlings, measurement. During certain times of the gate opens, it swim ships and airplanes fly.

5. The compass points to true, not magnetic north
Bermuda Triangle - one of two places on Earth where the magnetic compass points to true (geographic) rather than magnetic north. Under normal circumstances, when plotting the ship sailors this difference into account. And in those areas where the compass works differently, nothing is worth getting lost and descend on the reef.

6. Difficult weather conditions
The sky over the Bermuda Triangle and the truth is pretty hectic - warm and cold air masses collide constantly, leading to storms and hurricanes. Plus prompt for the Gulf Stream. All together, of course, creates a certain risk for any mode of transport.

7. The human factor
The area of ​​the Bermuda Triangle - a place quite lively. The tropical climate and crystal clear blue waters attract both experienced pilots and sailors, and lovers. Given the changeable weather, swift currents and a large number of twin islands, scattered throughout the region, to go astray, run aground or be away from the place where you can refuel simple.
