Bermuda Triangle has energized and activated the humans’ thoughts but still till now there are mysterious queries without any evident answers. Allah has created “Soma” Father of the Genii before the creation of Adam Father of the Mankind by 2000 years.
It is simply the LEGEND OF THE STORY OF FIGHTING AND STRUGGLE\BETWEEN SATAN AND HUMANS AS MENTIONED WITHIN THE HOLY BOOKS.

vertices are in Miami, Florida peninsula; in San Juan, Puerto Rico; and in the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda But subsequent writers did not follow this definition. Some writers give different boundaries and vertices to the triangle, with the total area varying from 1,300,000 to 3,900,000 km2 (500,000 to 1,510,000 sq mi) Consequently, the determination of which accidents have occurred inside the triangle depends on which writer reports them The United States Board on Geographic Names does not recognize this name,[ and it is not delimited in any map drawn by US government agencies.
The most heavily traveled shipping lanes
The area is one of the most heavily traveled shipping lanes in the world, with ships crossing through it daily for ports in the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands. Cruise ships are also plentiful, and pleasure craft regularly go back and forth between Florida and the islands. It is also a heavily flown route for commercial and private aircraft heading towards Florida, the Caribbean, and South America from points north.
INTRODUCTION:
The earliest allegation of unusual disappearances in the Bermuda area appeared in a September 17, 1950 article published in The Miami Herald (Associated Press by Edward Van Winkle Jones. Two years later, Fate magazine published “Sea Mystery at Our Back Door”, a short article by George X. Sand covering the loss of several planes and ships, including the loss of Flight 19, a group of five U.S. Navy TBM Avenger bombers on a training mission
.Sand’s article
Sand’s article was the first to lay out the now-familiar triangular area where the losses took place. Flight 19 alone would be covered again in the April 1962 issue of American Legion magazine. In it, author Allan W. Eckert wrote that the flight leader had been heard saying, “We are entering white water, nothing seems right. We don’t know where we are, the water is green, no white.” He also wrote that officials at the Navy board of inquiry stated that the planes “flew off to Mars. Sand’s article was the first to suggest a supernatural element to the Flight 19 incident.
“The Deadly Bermuda Triangle”
In the February 1964 issue of Argosy, Vincent Gaddis‘ article “The Deadly Bermuda Triangle” argued that Flight 19 and other disappearances were part of a pattern of strange events in the region. The next year, Gaddis expanded this article into a book, Invisible Horizons
Bermuda Triangle is a very real place
You won’t find it on any official map and you won’t know when you cross the line, but according to some people, the Bermuda Triangle is a very real place where dozen of ships, planes and people have disappeared with no good explanation. Since a magazine first coined the phrase “Bermuda Triangle” in 1964, the mystery has continued to attract attention. When you dig deeper into most cases, though, they’re much less mysterious. Either they were never in the area to begin with, they were actually found, or there’s a reasonable explanation for their disappearance.
The Devils’ Sea
The Devil’s Sea, also called the Formosa Triangle, is located off the coast of Japan in a region of the Pacific around Miyake Island, about 110 miles south of Tokyo. Like the Bermuda Triangle, the Devil’s Sea doesn’t appear on any official maps, but the name is used by Japanese fishermen. The area is known for strange disappearances of ships and planes – at least by those in the United States. Another myth is that, like the Bermuda Triangle, the Devil’s Sea is the only other area where a compass points to true north rather than magnetic north (more about this later). One popular theory is that volcanic activity around the area, particularly an underwater volcano, could be responsible for the disappearances.
Bermuda Triangle Mystery
The Bermuda Triangle Mystery Over the past 100 years, the Bermuda Triangle has seen what some say is a significant and inordinately high number of unexplained disappearances of planes, ships and people. Some reports say that as many as 100 ships and planes have been reported missing in the area and more than 1,000 lives have been lost.
Vessels missing throughout the world
The U.S. Coast Guard, however, maintains that the area does not have an unusual number of incidents. In 1975, Mary Margaret Fuller, editor of “Fate” magazine, contacted Lloyd’s of London for statistics on insurance payoffs for incidents occurring within the Bermuda Triangle’s usually accepted boundaries. According to Lloyd’s records, 428 vessels were reported missing throughout the world between 1955 and 1975, and there was no greater incidence of events occurring in the Bermuda Triangle than anywhere else in the world. Gian J. Quasar, author of “Into the Bermuda Triangle: Pursuing the Truth Behind the World’s Greatest Mystery” and curator of Bermuda-triangle.org, argues that this report “is completely false.” Quasar reasons that because Lloyd’s does not insure small crafts like yachts and often doesn’t insure small charter boats or private aircraft, its records can’t be the definitive source.
Coast Guard’s records
He also states that the Coast Guard’s records, which it publishes annually, do not include “missing vessels.” He requested data on “overdue vessels” and received (after 12 years of asking) records of 300 missing/overdue vessels for the previous two years. Whether those vessels ultimately returned is unknown. His Web site has a list of these vessels. The National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) database Image courtesy Amazon Click to buy NOW!

Quasar) that only a handful of aircraft have disappeared off the New England coast over the past 10 years, while over 30 have occurred in the Bermuda Triangle.
First well-publicized disappearance in 1945
The mystery of the Triangle probably took hold with the first well-publicized disappearance in 1945, when five Navy Avengers disappeared in the area. The cause of the disappearance was originally “pilot error,” but family members of the pilot leading the mission couldn’t accept that he had made such a mistake. Eventually they convinced the Navy to change it to Blue Holes Blue holes are water-filled caves and cavities with blue coloration.
Mysterious ocean blue holes
These caves may be simply a hole in the ground in the interior of islands (inland blue holes) or holes in shallow waters on the banks (marine or ocean blue holes). British scuba diver Rob Palmer directed a blue holes research center in the Bahamas for a number of years. In July 1997, he failed to surface after a dive in the Red Sea and was presumed dead. Some think that the blue holes may be related to (or even formed by) micro-wormholes believed to exist in the area and might even be transit points for UFOs arriving here from other dimensions.
Carroll A. Deering
A five-masted schooner built in 1919, the Carroll A. Deering was found hard aground and abandoned at Diamond Shoals, near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, on January 31, 1921. Rumors and more at the time indicated the Deering was a victim of piracy, possibly connected with the illegal rum-running trade during Prohibition, and possibly involving another ship, SS Hewitt, which disappeared at roughly the same time. Just hours later, an unknown steamer sailed near the lightship along the track of the Deering, and ignored all signals from the lightship. It is speculated that Hewitt may have been this mystery ship, and possibly involved in the Deering crew’s disappearance
USS Cyclops
The incident resulting in the single largest loss of life in the history of the US Navy not related to combat occurred when the collier USS Cyclops, carrying a full load of manganese ore and with one engine out of action, went missing without a trace with a crew of 309 sometime after March 4, 1918, after departing the island of Barbados.
n addition, two of Cyclops‘s sister ships, Proteus and Nereus were subsequently lost in the North Atlantic during World War II. Both ships were transporting heavy loads of metallic ore similar to that which was loaded on Cyclops during her fatal voyage. In all three cases structural failure due to overloading with a much denser cargo than designed is considered the most likely cause of sinking.
Differnt evidence
Although there is no strong evidence for any single theory, many independent theories exist, some blaming storms, some capsizing, and some suggesting that wartime enemy activity was to blame for the loss.
