Good morning beautiful people, How are you doing today and hope the fuel scarcity didn't put you on the edge like must of us ehn.
Wow how time flies can't believed it's day 20 already on 'World Greatest Unsolved Mysteries' series on DTB SATURDAY DIGEST already. Today the 'Bermuda Triangle' joins our long-list of Unsolved mysteries.
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a loosely defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, the location of the triangle is believed to stretch between the coasts of Florida, Bermuda Island and Puerto Rico. It is believed that a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Although according to the US Navy, the triangle does not exist and the name is not recognized by the US Board on Geographic Names.
But popular culture and documented fact has attributed various disappearances to the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings. Even though evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were spurious, inaccurately reported, or embellished by later authors.
Origins:
The earliest allegation of unusual disappearances in the Bermuda area appeared in a September 17, 1950 article published in The Miami Herald (Associated Press) by Edward Van Winkle Jones.Two years later, Fate magazine published "Sea Mystery at Our Back Door", a short article by George X. Sand covering the loss of several planes and ships, including the loss of Flight 19, a group of five U.S. Navy TBM Avenger bombers on a training mission. Sand's article was the first to lay out the now-familiar triangular area where the losses took place. Flight 19 alone would be covered again in the April 1962 issue of American Legion magazine. In it, author Allan W. Eckert wrote that the flight leader had been heard saying, "We are entering white water, nothing seems right. We don't know where we are, the water is green, no white." He also wrote that officials at the Navy board of inquiry stated that the planes "flew off to Mars." Sand's article was the first to suggest a supernatural element to the Flight 19 incident. In the February 1964 issue of Argosy, Vincent Gaddis' article "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle" argued that Flight 19 and other disappearances were part of a pattern of strange events in the region. The next year, Gaddis expanded this article into a book, Invisible Horizons.
Others would follow with their own works, elaborating on Gaddis' ideas: John Wallace Spencer (Limbo of the Lost, 1969, repr. 1973); Charles Berlitz (The Bermuda Triangle, 1974); Richard Winer (The Devil's Triangle, 1974), and many others, all keeping to some of the same supernatural elements outlined by Eckert.
The question remains the same, Is Bermuda triangle real or a myth.......
