Bermuda Triangle : Devil's Sea

A legendary triangle of Ocean lies between 3 countries upon the Atlantic ocean. The Cities are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Fort Lauderdale. Ships, people and aeroplanes have been reported mysteriously disappearing off the face of the earth whilst travelling inside this triangle. It soon acquired the name "Devils Triangle" owing to peoples superstitions that the devil was at play on this stretch of ocean and gobbling up weary and lost travellers with great delight, but what actually was at play inside this triangle of rough water, is it really the devil?, or perhaps aliens are using this spot as their home base on earth. Maybe it really does contain a mystical vortex that sucks people down into a third dimension.

The myth of the mysterious triangle was first begun in an Associated Press dispatch of September 16, 1950. Reporter E.V. W. Jones wrote of "mysterious disappearances" of ships and planes between the Florida coast and Bermuda. Two years after this article appeared Fate magazine ran an article by George X. Sand about a "series of strange marine disappearances, each leaving no trace whatever, that have taken place in the past few years" in a "watery triangle bounded roughly by Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico".

It was not long before ideas and suggestions started forming about this piece of ocean. M.K. Jessup wrote about the disappearances and gave ideas about alien intelligences being behind them in the book "The Case for the UFO. The view was also echoed by Donald E. Kyhoe who is noted for his "The Flying Saucer Conspiracy" of 1955. Frank Edwards (Stranger Than Science) agreed with the theory of aliens having a local hangout in the triangle as well. Finally a man by the name of Vincent H. Gaddis came up with the phrase "Bermuda Triangle".

Vincent Gaddis wrote an article in February 1964's edition of Argosy and incorporated the story later in his book "Invisible Horizons" titled "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle". And there was the birth of the now world famous myth of the Bermuda Triangle.

Throughout the years it has featured in many many articles, books, television series and movies and always portrayed as a very real and mysterious thing, but anyone out there with any sense surely will ask themselves " how in this day and age could boats, planes and other travellers just go mysteriously missing in a certain piece of water?" "wouldn't an aeroplane full of international travellers be afraid to travel over this part of the ocean"....Well let me tell you I've always asked the same questions myself and I personally have come to the conclusion that the entire thing is nothing more than a myth hyped up over the years by wrong facts and silly overexaggerated stories told down through the generations of people willing to listen to any kind of mysterious story with a unknown edge to it.
