The Bermuda Triangle is a roughly 500,000-square-mile area of the Atlantic Ocean where a number of planes and ships have disappeared, supposedly under mysterious circumstances.
The section of ocean, also called the Devil's Triangle, is loosely defined by a triangular shape running from points in Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico.
While strange occurrences and disappearances have been reported in the area from the time of Christopher Columbus, it was a number of media accounts in the twentieth century that heightened public interest in the region. Theories as to the cause of the disappearances vary from the scientifically plausible (methane gas pockets or rogue waves) to the fantastic (alien spacecraft or the lost city of Atlantis).
Despite the disappearances in the area, research into the phenomenon suggests that the Bermuda Triangle is no more dangerous than any other section of ocean.
