The document discusses theories about disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. It presents three main theories: 1) Human error is the most common cause of accidents, as the area sees high traffic volumes. Pilot confusion and sensory issues can sometimes result in crashes. 2) Large underwater fields of methane gas could cause ships and planes to suddenly sink by decreasing water density or creating foamy water that reduces buoyancy. However, major methane releases are not thought to have occurred in the area for 15,000 years. 3) In the 1960s, speculation about alien abductions grew after disappearances, influenced by films like Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But the idea of alien involvement was not supported

2. INTRODUCTION
Bermuda Triangle or also well known as The Devil’s
Triangle is located in the Atlantic Ocean off the
coast of Florida to one small island in Bermuda to
an island in Puerto Rico. From those points it
turns out into a shape of an imaginary triangle.
And this area is inaccurately known as a place
where a lot of planes, ships, had gone missing
mysteriously. But why? Here are some thoughts of
this conspiracy theory.

4. It is wildly believed that us, human, are the
one who made mistakes. Human error is the
number one reason cited for losses of
aircrafts and vessels at sea. Unclear position
of flight and sensory confusion is rare with
pilots but are a well-known reason for a
small percentage of flying accidents with
87% of those accidents resulting in fatalities.
Also the fact that the area within the
Bermuda Triangle receives a great deal of
traffic more than in other areas, leads to
more accidents and disappearances.

5. 2nd Thought (Methane Gas)
An explanation for some disappearances in the Bermuda
Triangle is the presence of vast fields of a natural gas
called methane. Laboratory experiments have proven
that bubbles of methane could sink a model ship by
decreasing the density of the water with wreckage being
very likely to rise to the surface then rapidly swept away
by the Gulf Stream. It has additionally been proposed
that these eruptions or ‘mud volcanoes’ can produce
foamy water that is no longer capable of providing
floating ability for ships causing them to sink very
rapidly without warning. It has been proposed that this
methane gas can also effect planes as well as ships. But
according to other papers, no large release of gas is
believed to have occurred in the Bermuda Triangle for
the past 15,000 years.

6. 3rd Thought (Alien
Abductions)
Part of the thought about ‘mysterious’ accidents in the area was
heightened in 1967 with a press informed by the National
Geographic Society explaining strange phenomena in and
around the Triangle. Of course alien abduction was not a
suggestion, but people soon began filling in the blanks with
explanations like aliens messing up navigational equipment in
order to abduct(kidnap) people. This thought was beginning to
lift as people moved into the 70s, but the idea of aliens
continued long after the 60s became a transcendental memory.
Even Steven Spielberg in this science fiction film, Close
Encounters of the Third Kind, features the lost Flight 19
aircrew that went missing in 1945 while over the Triangle. A
massive land and sea search was mounted for the 5 Navy
torpedo bombers that disappeared while in routine flight as
well as a rescue plane that went missing after being sent to
search for the missing crew. Flight 19 was made up of a 13 men
with neither bodies nor wreckage ever being found including
