Theories and Skepticism

Berlitz's theory was just one of many proposed to explain the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. Other believers expanded on the Atlantis idea and claimed denizens of the undersea kingdom were channeling energy through the use of mystical crystals and bringing down the planes and ships. Still other fanciful theories involved the presence of time warps, inter-dimensional gates, and alien abductions.

More scientifically minded theories were also proposed. One idea suggested pockets of undersea methane gas may bubble up to the surface, altering the density of the ocean and causing ships to sink immediately. Another theory holds that a phenomenon known as electromagnetic fog could envelop a vessel, rendering navigational equipment useless. Other theories include rogue tidal waves or variations in Earth's magnetic field. Despite the plausibility of these theories, no scientific evidence exists proving that they occur in the area or are responsible for the disappearances.

In 1975, a librarian from Arizona State University named Larry Kusche began investigating the Bermuda Triangle. In his book The Bermuda Triangle Mystery—Solved, Kusche found that many accounts of mysterious vanishings were based on inaccurate information or arrived at through sloppy research. Ships that were said to have disappeared in "calm" weather actually sank during storms; tales of "missing" vessels often ignored the fact that the wreckage was later found miles away; and some incidents never occurred at all or happened far outside of the Bermuda Triangle.

Kusche's conclusion was supported by the maritime insurance carrier Lloyds of London and the U.S. Coast Guard. Both entities claim that this section of the Atlantic is not an unusually dangerous area, and the number of accidents in the region is proportional to its status as a highly traveled shipping route.
