Bermuda Triangle Wallpapers

Bermuda Triangle - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org: The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devils 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 km²). [br]Paranormal Claims: [br] * "A significant number of ships and aircraft have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances." [br] * "Paranormal activity where the known laws of physics are violated." [br] * It has even been suggested that "extraterrestrial beings are responsible for some of the disappearances." [br]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. [br]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. [br]The Triangle marks a corridor of the north Atlantic stretching northward from the West Indies along the North American seaboard as far as the Carolinas. To take advantage of prevailing winds, ships returning to Europe during the Age of Sail would sail north to the Carolinas before turning east to cross the north Atlantic. This pattern continued after the development of steam and internal combustion engines, meaning that much of the north Atlantic shipping traffic crossed (and still crosses) through the Triangles area. The Gulf Stream, an area of volatile weather, also passes through the Triangle as it leaves the West Indies. The combination of heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather made it inevitable that vessels would founder in storms and be lost without trace, especially before the telecommunications, radar and satellite technology of the late twentieth century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace. [br]Other areas often purported to possess unusual characteristics are the Devils Sea, located near Japan, and the Marysburgh Vortex (or "Great Lakes Triangle"), located in eastern Lake Ontario. [br]Christopher Columbus made mention of sightings of strange-looking animals near the border of the triangle and recorded near the area now designated as the Bermuda Triangle. At one point he reports that he and his crew observed "strange dancing lights on the horizon". On another instance they observed what was most likely a falling meteor. The first documented mention of disappearances in the area was made in 1951 by E.V.W. Jones as a sidebar on the Associated Press wire service regarding recent ship losses. Jones article noted the "mysterious disappearances" of ships, aircraft and small boats in the region and gave it the name "The Devils Triangle". It was next mentioned in 1952 in a Fate Magazine article by George X. Sand, who outlined several "strange marine disappearances". In 1964, Vincent Geddis referred to the area as "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle" in an Argosy feature, after which the name "Bermuda Triangle" became most common. [br] [br] [br]
