    The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is an area in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The idea of the area being uniquely prone to disappearances arose in the mid-20th century from articles published in 1950 and 1952 describing disappearances like that of Flight 19, a group of 5 US Navy planes. However, most scientific sources today dismiss claims of any mystery and attribute disappearances to weather events, human error, or hoaxes.

    The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a loosely defined region


    in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are
    said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The idea of the area as
    uniquely prone to disappearances arose in the mid-20th century, but most reputable
    sources dismiss the idea that there is any mystery.[1][2][3]

    Origins
    The earliest suggestion 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.[4] Two years later, Fate magazine published "Sea Mystery at
    Our Back Door",[5][6] a short article by George Sand covering the loss of several planes
    and ships, including the loss of Flight 19, a group of five US Navy Grumman TBM
    Avenger torpedo bombers on a training mission. Sand's article was the first to lay out
    the now-familiar triangular area where the losses took place, as well as the first to
    suggest a supernatural element to the Flight 19 incident. Flight 19 alone would be
    covered again in the April 1962 issue of American Legion magazine.[7] 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."[8]
    In February 1964, Vincent Gaddis wrote an article called "The Deadly Bermuda
    Triangle" in the pulp magazine Argosy saying Flight 19 and other disappearances were
    part of a pattern of strange events in the region.[9] The next year, Gaddis expanded this
    article into a book, Invisible Horizons.[10]
    Other writers elaborated on Gaddis' ideas: John Wallace Spencer (Limbo of the Lost,
    1969, repr. 1973);[11] Charles Berlitz (The Bermuda Triangle, 1974);[12] Richard Winer (The
    Devil's Triangle, 1974),[13] and many others, all keeping to some of the same
    supernatural elements outlined by Eckert.[14]
