10 theories to explain the enigma of the Bermuda Triangle (11 photos)

Over the years, various theories to explain the mysterious disappearances in the triangle between Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico, have accumulated a huge amount - from the most idiotic to quite reasonable.



Comet


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

Pirates


Pirates did hundreds of years kept at bay sailors traveling through the region about the Atlantic - to the north of the Caribbean islands. This version would be one of the most plausible, but it does not explain the story of the disappearance of the aircraft.

Methane hydrate


Deep beneath the surface of the Bermuda triangle formed huge bubbles filled with methane hydrate. When such a 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.

«Funnels time»


In 1970, a pilot from Florida mgodu Bruce Zhernon flying over the Bermuda Triangle towards the island of Bimini. Suddenly, right in front of them formed a strange cloud that grew rapidly at first, and then transformed into the tunnel. Zhernonu had no choice but to fly inside. The pilot says that the tunnel was rotated counter-clockwise, and then flashed a spark, and the devices were crazy. A few minutes later the plane somehow miraculously "popped" in the Miami area. Flight, instead obychnyh75-minute, took only 47 minutes.

The secret government testing


The base on which the sin of the supporters of this theory is 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 this is where the government contacts with extraterrestrial civilizations and experiencing all sorts of alien technology.

Flying saucers and 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.

Atlantis


According to this hypothesis, at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle remains of the ancient city, whose residents were able to accumulate solar energy by means of some powerful crystals. These crystals and cause a malfunction of equipment of ships and aircraft.

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 lost and descend on the reef.

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, it creates a certain risk for any mode of transport.

The human factor


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 across the region, stay on course, run aground or be away from the place where you can refuel simple.
