The Bermuda Triangle.

[scottobear]

I had heard of the Bermuda Triangle before my experience - its legend has a permanent place in the American pop culture. But I didn't believe any of the stranger stories - after all, there's always an explanation for a missing boat, or a missing plane. Behind every mystery there are logical conclusions to be drawn, once you're past the forest of ghost stories and urban legend.

Right?



The Bermuda Triangle, as you see in the map, is an area bordered by Bermuda, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The four imaginary lines form a perfect triangle. [edit, 4 years later. I can't believe nobody has pointed out the number of sides.]

The legend of the Triangle really began in 1945, with the disappearance of Flight 19. Five Navy bombers vanished in the waters within the Triangle, and no trace of them was ever found - no planes, no wreckage, nothing. Someone did some checking into the ghostly history of the area, and saw one account after another that could not be explained by Earthly means. One even comes from Christopher Columbus, who logged bizarre phenomena there, including spinning compasses and a sky that changed to psychedelic colors before his eyes. The legend was born.

Theories abound about what happened to Flight 19 and its 27 men. But the Bermuda Triangle has yielded no clues, and the leader of the flight, Lt. Charles Taylor, refuses comment to this very day.

What will follow on this pages is my own story, not as costly as the loss of Flight 19 - but every bit as bizarre.

Coming soon. .

I seen where they done found them planes cause that pilot fella got turned aroun an the went away from florida an run outta gas an was in the water all alone...and they got them deposits of Methane Gas what comes up from the mud when it gets all slippy-slidy and Methane Gas makes the water like there weren't nothin there an a ship jus plunks right down and is under all that mud cause it's hittin the bottom like a brick what fell out a window and then the gas escapes an the water is all water-like again...it messes up all them gauge thingies too...

I seen some fella do some esperiments an it worked jus like the fella said it would...they showd one o them oil-place things where them fellas work out in the water an it jus fell down an all that gas caught fire an melted all them metal parts too...they seen it happen an taped it with one of them video-tapin-cameras and they still couldn't find no dang trace o the big ole oil-place thing even though they knowed where it was supposed to be bein...

Now wait a minute there partner, my friends in the government (and they're very high up in the government, let me tell you) say that the real reason for all those mysterious disappearances is that Edgard Cayce correctly predicted the emergence of Atlantis from the ocean in the 1940s. Alas, Flight 19 ran smack dab into this phoenix continent in the middle of its big moment, sending them both crash diving to the murky ocean bottom.

Now see what happened next is where it gets really weird. There was this ancient alien laser doohickey thing that gave the residents of Atlantis running water, electricity, and their very own Internet thousands of years ago. Ever since the entire population of Atlantis died off in that fateful cataclysm over a millennium ago, all this laser doohickey whatchamacallit has to do is daydream (it's actually this really advanced AI thingie that is in constant communication with NORAD and NASA these days). Sometimes it has one of those nocturnal emission type daydreams and well it fires off a big burst of pent up energy and if a ship or say a squadron of planes were to be in the way of this energy blast well boom bada bing instant mysterious disappearance.

Now don't go telling people all about this because we wouldn't want to start a panic, would we?
