The Bermuda Triangle is a vaguely defined expanse of the North Atlantic Ocean off the southeastern tip of the U.S., specifically North America. This triangular area, with imaginary points in Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico, has earned its mysterious reputation due to unexplained circumstances that led to the disappearance of more than 50 ships and 20 airplanes over the past century. These losses, often under clear skies and calm seas, continue to puzzle scientists and researchers, who argue about a range of natural and supernatural explanations. Despite extensive searches, no wreckage or reasons have been found for most of these losses, lending the Bermuda Triangle its continuing aura of mystery and intrigue.

1. Perhaps the most famous disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle is that of the USS Cyclops in March 1918. Despite being a massive carrier ship carrying 306 crew and passengers, no trace was ever found, nor any distress signal received, contributing to the mystery of this infamous region. 2. Flight 19, a group of five U.S. Navy torpedo bombers, disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle on December 5th, 1945. All 14 crew members vanished and after an extensive search, no traces were found. This incident has become a cornerstone of the Bermuda Triangle's legend. 3. In 1963, the SS Marine Sulphur Queen, a tanker ship carrying a cargo of molten sulphur, disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle with a crew of 39. Debris was found but no sign of the crew and the cause of the disappearance remains unknown. 4. The Carroll A. Deering, a five-masted schooner, was found abandoned near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina in the Bermuda Triangle in 1921. The crew’s personal belongings, navigational equipment, logbooks, and life rafts were all missing. Despite extensive investigations, the fate of the crew remains a mystery. 5. The commercial airliner, Star Tiger, disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle in 1948 on a flight from the Azores to Bermuda. The craft, carrying 29 passengers and 3 crew members, never issued a distress call and search efforts revealed no wreckage or clues to its fate.

Fun Fact: Bermuda Triangle, often referred to as the "Devil's Triangle", is shrouded in mystery and intrigue due to its inexplicable phenomena. What's fascinating is that despite numerous aircraft and ship disappearances, the Triangle is not recognized as a hazard by the World Wide Fund for Nature or the United States Board on Geographic Names. Moreover, it's not officially acknowledged on any maps. Despite being associated with numerous disappearances, it is frequently traveled by ships and planes without any reported incidents, further mystifying its reputation. The boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle vary with reports, but it is approximately located between Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico which covers nearly 500,000 square miles! It's popularly linked to paranormal activity or the lost city of Atlantis, but most often, the disappearing vessels are attributed to the area's frequent and severe weather conditions or navigational errors.
