New theory may explain the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle

A new theory aims to explain the mysterious disappearance of planes and ships around the Bermuda Triangle.

Meteorologists revealed that strange clouds linked to super-powerful “air bombs” could be capable of bringing down large objects,while speaking to Science Channel’s “What on Earth?”

According to the New York Post, scientists used satellite imagery to detect “hexagonal”-shaped clouds between 30 and 80 km wide, with a hurricane-like force of 275 km/h, forming over patches of water.

“The satellite imagery is really bizarre … the hexagonal shapes of the cloud formations,” said meteorologist Dr. Randy Cerveny. “These types of hexagonal shapes in the ocean are in essence air bombs. They’re formed by what is called microbursts and they’re blasts of air.”

The Bermuda Triangle, which is located between Miami, Puerto Rico and the island of Bermuda, has baffled researchers for decades. The area has been synonymous with objects mysteriously disappearing.

There are also a couple of land masses that, from the air, look similar. Except if you think you are over one, but are really over the other one, you will fly out to the middle of the Atlantic until you run out of fuel.

I spent years as a CG aviator in the “Triangle”.
Not a rocket scientist by any stretch.

I always felt that because of, wicked water spouts,rouge waves wind shears and all kinds of other weird WX stuff,
those aviators B4 radar were screwed.
I spent many hours at a radar position dodging all that stuff, too bad so many early aviators did not have that luxury

I thought the Bermuda Triangle myth was debunked years ago.
Someone marked all known lost and missing ships and air crafts on a map* and the BT area was not special in any way.

* As much as you can mark missing things on a map anyway.

No worries. Climate change will be at the heart of it.

I always thought that the all those lost ships and planes had simply pissed off the ancient pagan God Isosceles.

Our ship captain told us there are gasses below the sea in that area that have an effect on the ships navigational equipment. That is why the cruise ships go around the triangle.

It’s that mega-giahugic pyramid submerged in 2000 feet of water off the coat of Cuba and the Energetic Vortex Rays (EVRs) that it’s emitting that are the real cause of Global Warming.

But the real deal is that Global Warming is our only hope for survival. If no Global Warming, then we get another Ice Age. With an Ice Age we get the White Walkers and their legions of undead.

All proof that those fighting against Global Warming really hate humanity.

When I was on the USS JFK, we had a A-6 Intruder that disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle without a trace.

Just took off and never came back. No radio transmission, wreckage, flotsam, slick, nothing.

Two men and a plane just disappeared without a trace. I believe that was back in 1978.

Thirty five years ago National Enquirer or STAR did an in depth report by Charles Berlitz, on the Bermuda Triangle and listed all the ships and planes lost there.

So I got a map, drew the triangle as they described it, and pinpointed each disappearance. Most were OUTSIDE the triangle. Some were people boating and flying during hurricanes.

What got me was Berlitz said that the disappearance of Louisiana coach Jerry Stovall and Bo Rein was caused by their airplane being pulled off course FROM LOUISIANA by the magnetic pull of the BERMUDA TRIANGLE!

I’ve never taken the Bermuda Triangle seriously since. It is hokum.

My ship searched for Soviet SSBN’s for months in the western part of the Sargasso Sea and the Bermuda Triangle. Never one odd occurrence.

What they are describing sounds more “weather control” conspiracy stud than nature.

I’ve noticed a similar, paranormal phenomenon on land, that I call the “Trapezoid of Terror.”, roughly bounded by Washington D.C., Boston MA, Cleveland OH, and Cincinnati OH.

You will find far more many car accidents in this region than in say, between Sioux City Iowa, Fargo Minnesota, Billings Montana, and Casper Wyoming.

Oddly enough, you will also find more homosexual activity in that region which is why it’s also called, in some circles, “The Queers Quadrangle.”

One show I watched on the subject asked an maritime insurance carrier if the rates were any higher for ships transiting “the triangle”, and they said no.

The show also interviewed a USCG guy that said he’s been on rescues of small craft who chart consisted of a paper placemat from a FL diner.
