 There's no doubt that there's been many recurrences of disappearing ships and aircraft's in the Bermuda triangle the question is why? There are many theories attempting to explain this mysterious place known as the Bermuda Triangle. The most practical environmental and those citing human error. However the most attractive to us as a society have been the supernatural explanations. Some theories include a time warp that traps vassals where they can't get out. The location is unknown. Another blames UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects). They believe that the triangle is a collecting station where aliens take our people and vessels back to their planet to study. Some believe theirs sea monsters that supposedly sink the ships. The legendary lost city of Atlantis is believed to have something to do with the disappearances. When Atlantis sank into the ocean it is believed that magic crystals (death rays),were left behind that cause ships to sink. Scuba divers have found places under the ocean that look man-made, but have not found any crystals, or even any real proof that Atlantis exists (Thinkquest).It has been said that the Bermuda triangle is one of the two places on earth that a magnetic compass does point towards true north. Normally it points toward magnetic north. The difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 20 degrees as one circumnavigates the earth. If this is the case and a compass variation or error is not compensated for, a navigator could find himself far off course and in deep trouble (Byerly).
