On December 28, 1948, Captain Robert Lindquist of flight NC-16002 was piloting DC-3 commercial flight NC-16002 from San Juan, Puerto Rico to Miami, Florida. Suddenly, the tower began receiving transmissions from the flight leader that they were lost, compasses were not working, and “everything looked wrong.” They were never seen again, and extensive Navy investigations turned up no clues to explain the disappearance. The story of Flight 19 is usually summarized this way: a routine patrol set out on a sunny day with five highly experienced student pilots. The most famous Bermuda Triangle story is the mystery surrounding five missing Navy Avengers in 1945. All 306 passengers and crew were gone without a trace. She set out from Rio de Janeiro on February 16, and, after a brief stop in Barbados from March 3 to 4, was never seen or heard from again. The Cyclops was scheduled to sail to Brazil to refuel British ships in the south Atlantic. At that time, she was assigned to the Naval Overseas Transportation Service. Cyclops served along the eastern coast of the United States until January 9, 1918. According to Lloyd’s records, 428 vessels were reported missing throughout the world between 19, and there was no greater incidence of events occurring in the Bermuda Triangle than anywhere else in the world.ĭuring World War I, the U.S.S. In 1975, Mary Margaret Fuller, editor of “Fate” magazine, contacted Lloyd’s of London for statistics on insurance payoffs for incidents occurring within the Bermuda Triangle’s usually accepted boundaries. Coast Guard, however, maintains that the area does not have an unusual number of incidents. Some reports say that as many as 100 ships and planes have been reported missing in the area and more than 1,000 lives have been lost.
Over the past 100 years, the Bermuda Triangle has seen what some say is a significant and inordinately high number of unexplained disappearances of planes, ships and people. Both the Bermuda and Dragon’s Triangle have reports dating back to the 1950s, equally publicized in their respective areas, though Japanese legends from 1,000 BCE describe how dragons were living off the coast of Japan. Japanese maps specifically report the area to be a danger zone having lost hundreds of crew members on several ships over the years. Strangely enough, another dangerous triangle exists south of Tokyo in the Pacific Ocean, called the Devil’s Sea or Dragon’s Triangle.
The hot spots for these areas of anomalies and unexplained phenomena were dubbed Vile Vortices, by Ivan T.
Recent theories contest the Bermuda Triangle and other such locations found around the world are products of anomalies and fluctuations in the Earth’s magnetic field. Physical anomalies have not been identified in the triangle area though other possible causes have been attributed to hurricanes, methane hydrate fields, rogue waves and even the gulf stream. A compass will naturally and normally shift at times to fix on the magnetic bearing but this does not account for sporadic spinning coupled with electronic components losing power. Others believe there is substantial non-embellished evidence credible to previous conclusive statements that the Bermuda Triangle is a strange unexplained anomaly.Īirplanes and ships passing through the area do occasionally report compass malfunctions, instrument panel problems, and slight disorientation which could be responsible for mishaps along with human error. The triangle now is believed by some to not show any more strange disappearances than any other part of the ocean. The articles outlining several other strange disappearances soon featured a triangular drawing on the map in attempts to pinpoint their locations.
Authors during the time published stories, articles and books steadily adding to the mysterious happenings in and around the triangle. Flight 19, a group of five Navy bombers on a training mission over the Atlantic suddenly disappeared without a trace in an area now known as the Bermuda Triangle.
