The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is approximately triangular in shape, with three corners roughly defined by Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida in the Atlantic Ocean. Its size is nearly half a million square miles (1.2 million kmĀ²).
Paranormal Claims:
"A significant number of ships and aircraft have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances."
"Paranormal activity where the known laws of physics are violated."
It has even been suggested that "extraterrestrial beings are responsible for some of the disappearances."
Despite popular belief, the United States Coast Guard and other agencies cite statistics indicating that the number of incidents involving lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any other heavily-traveled region of the world.
Many of the alleged mysteries have proven not so mysterious or unusual upon closer examination, with inaccuracies and misinformation about the cases often circulating and recirculating over the decades.
