| The Bermuda
Triangle |
In 1492, shortly before making land in the West Indies, Christopher
Columbus recorded in his ship's log that he and his crew had observed a large
ball of fire fall into the sea and that the ship's compass was behaving
erratically. On October 11, the eve of their historic landfall, Columbus and
another man saw a light over the water which vanished abruptly. Within hours
land was sighted. While these incidents have been cited as the first known
indications that the Bermuda Triangle is fraught with bizarre happenings,
Columbus himself was not apparently disturbed by what he had seen. The ball of
fire may have been a meteor, a fire on the shore, a torch in an Indian's boat
or even an hallucination. Whatever it was, Chris Columbus unwittingly provided
the Bermuda Triangle with a five hundred year pedigree.
Since then
scores of ships and aircraft have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle, spawning
a pethora of explanations, some rational, some very imaginative. The official
explanations on the subject, quite naturally, tend to be of the reasonable
type, citing the extremely erratic weather and the immense traffic prevalent in
the region as the reasons behind the occurences. While this could very well be
true, skeptics say that this cannot account for all the disappearences. For
instance:
- The USS Cyclops, captained by the eccentric Lieutenant
Commander George W. Worley who frequented the bridge of the ship wearing long
underwear and a bowler hat, left Barbados on March 4, 1918 to Baltimore. On
March 13, when the ship was long overdue, a massive search ensued but no trace
of the largest ship in the Navy or the 300 people on board were ever found.
- In late November and early December 1941, two the USS
Cyclop's sister ships, Proteus and Nereus both vanished on separate runs from
the Virgin Islands to the USA.
- On January 30, 1948 the aircraft Star Tiger disappeared
without a trave en route to Bermuda with 31 people on board, moments ater the
pilot radioed to ground crew that they would be shortly arriving on schedule.
- Almost to the year, on January 17, 1949, the Star Tiger's
sister, the Star Ariel, was about to switch from radio contact with its
departure point in Bermuda to radio contact with its destination Jamaica, when
it vanished. The pilot had reported perfect weather.
- On December 28, 1948, a DC-3 carrying 35 people from
Puerto Rico also disappeared shortly after the pilot radioed a similar message
that it was just 80 kms south of Miami.
- Perhaps the bizarrest episode of them all was the case of
the Mary Celeste found drifting in December 1872 minus her captain, his wife
and child and eight crewmen. The last position recorded in the log placed her a
hundred miles west of the Azores, a path that took her close to the Bermuda
Triangle.
These were just a few of the disappearences that
have been reported over the Bermuda Triangle but even if one were to accept the
reasonal explanations purported about mutinies and bad weather and accidents
and poor navigation, other occurences in the same region are more hard to
explain. For instance, a National Airlines 727 passenger flight disappeared
from radar screens at Miami International Airport for 10 minutes. On arrival
the crew denied that anything odd had happened to them except that they had
flown through a light fog for 10 minutes. All the timepieces on the plane were
ten minutes slow though they had matched up in a time check with the airport
shortly before their disappearance. Several other pilots have related
experiences of gaining impossible time after flying through sudden
hazes.
Bad weather? Time warps? Alien abductions? Flap areas?
What's your theory? |
