BERMUDA Triangle
•The name “The Bermuda Triangle” was placed in the cultural lexicon by a May 1964 Argosy magazine article by Vincent Gaddis.
•The most famous case attributed to the Bermuda Triangle is the disappearance of Flight 19 and a search plane sent after them on December 5, 1945. In all, 27 men and 6 aircraft never returned home.
•The first documented encounter in the Bermuda Triangle was by Christopher Columbus who encountered mysterious lights and compass malfunctions on his first voyage through the area.
•Much of the Bermuda Triangle mystery was put to rest by a book titled Bermuda Triangle: Mystery Solved by Larry Kusche, a researcher at the University of Arizona. Kusche found many of the supposed mysteries of the Triangle either occurred in other parts of the ocean or in adverse weather conditions.
•One of the most popular recent theories to explain the Bermuda Triangle involves an electromagnetically induced fog that wreaks havoc on passing ships and planes.•Self-styled physicist John Hutchison claims to have accidentally created the electronic fog that supposedly plagues the Triangle in his apartment as part of a phenomenon he has dubbed “The Hutchison Effect.”
