Bermuda Triangle

It was hundreds of years after Columbus’s voyage before the compass “mystery” could be explained. In the heart of the Bermuda Triangle in the Sargasso Sea, compasses point directly true north. In almost every other area on earth, compasses point east or west of true north. They are actually pointing to the magnetic north, a few degrees east or west of true north. though we now know what happened to Columbus’s compass, his sailors had no way of knowing the difference between true and magnetic north.

Columbus was in for more mystery before he left the Bermuda Triangle. His ship’s log reported that one night a great flame of fire shot across the sky. Then, a huge bolt of light suddenly flared up. As quickly as it appeared, it seemed to disappear. Was it a a huge meteor flashing through the sky? or was it something else? On October 11, 1492, Columbus’s crew reported another strange glowing in the sea. It was a patch of white water. Centuries later, another group of explorers saw the same white area, These explorers were the astronauts of Apollo 12. They reported seeing glowing white water from hundreds of miles away in space. The astronauts could not explain the strange light and the glowing water. From the earliest voyages down to this very day, ships and planes have reported strange happening in this patch of ocean called the Bermuda Triangle. Of course, sailors have always told tall tales of mystery and monsters. Maybe the Bermuda Triangle has become one of these legends of the sea. But how do we explain all the disappearances of ships and planes?
