the Bermuda Triangle said to be a mysterious vortex claiming lives ships and planes of will some are never found well we surged about absolutely nothing others turn up as gravestones on the ocean floor among such feared supernatural phenomena as UFOs and alien abduction the triangle is a serious contender this program is setting out to unravel its secrets finding out what lies behind the myth flying into the heart of the Bermuda Triangle [Music] [Music] welcome to the 450,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean known as the Bermuda Triangle weather here can wreak havoc with planes and ships a single Bermuda Triangle hurricane packs more energy than 10,000 nuclear bombs ocean swells can climb 250 feet the height of a five-story building winds of up to 200 miles per hour four times stronger than a gale force wind even in calm weather this triangle of water stretching from miami north to bermuda and south to Puerto Rico is known to swallow victims some disappearing without a trace no SOS no survivors to tell their tales others at rest in the graveyard of ships and aircraft beneath the waves firm statistics are impossible to come by but some ships planes and people have vanished without explanation others for reasons that have come to light later on in 1918 the supply ship USS Cyclops left Barbados shortly afterwards or contact ceased and in 1963 the SS marine sulphur Queen made a routine call from near Key West and was never heard of again scientists insist there is nothing unusual about the triangle waters and statistically the skeptics are probably right yet the stories the legends have only grown with time but why this myth about a stretch of water after World War two came the dawn of the Cold War and the terrifying prospect of nuclear conflict uncertainty and fear helped foster inexplicable myths that flourished in films and popular culture unidentified flying objects reported over American soil alien abductions blamed for numerous disappearances every far-fetched tale seemed within the realm of possibility these tensions of the sci-fi age spawned book and newspaper reports of supposed disappearances and supernatural happenings just as the number of air and sea journeys and the casualties were increasing dramatically by the mid-1960s a writer for Argosy magazine coined the term Bermuda Triangle elevating the myth to even greater heights but what is real and what is myth meet the theorists scientists eccentrics experts and eyewitnesses all drawn to the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle Paul Vance is one man who does believe in the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle he claims to have seen something strange on a boating trip perhaps a UFO my friend Doug Gert and I were leaving West Palm Beach started watching ticular white life that came across the sky and then it stopped this was not an airplane it was a single white light and after it stopped a cloud just appeared underneath it it was spinning it kind of looked like a tornado but it wasn't that long as a tornado just almost at the same moment that I noticed the light stopped my engine started running rough on my boat but I was so mesmerized it at what I was seeing that I hardly took notice of it Paul van C's story is impossible to prove or disprove but science does offer a few logical explanations for many Bermuda Triangle mysteries one of the most commonly held theories revolves around weather extreme weather around the world wreaks havoc with shipping and flights and the Bermuda Triangle is no exception it's home to some of the most fearsome weather on the face of the planet could such extremes of weather account for many of the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle our first and most obvious candidate is the hurricane these monstrous swirling masses of rain and cloud create the largest storms on earth 100 miles across with winds of up to 200 miles an hour a disaster for any craft in their path powerful storm surges which crash onto land account for many hurricane related deaths their power can surprise even experienced hurricane hunters like storm photographer Jim Edd's who has felt the full force of a hurricane in the Bermuda Triangle I was filming that the downstairs of a house had been gutted out by the waves and I moved to across the street and as I was going there a wave came and clipped me from behind Edd's almost lost his life as the force of the impact snatched him away he was dragged 300 feet in the jaws of the storm wave before he finally managed to escape this time he was lucky every hurricane strength and direction is monitored in detail by scientists at the National Hurricane Center in Miami Florida despite their efforts Mother Nature still spring surprises the awesome power of storms such as August 1992 s Hurricane Andrew can trump even the best weather experts such as Jim Liu shine with heartbreaking results I was at the hurricane center working looking at the satellite pictures putting out the hurricane local statements my wife who had lived in the house for twenty years along with my two daughters actually talked to me on the phone and said Jim is this going to miss us we think the wind is not very strong here right now I said no I'm sorry honey this is it [Music] when Hurricane Andrew reached the edge of the Bermuda Triangle its full fury hit their home in Dade County I haven't heard anything for several hours of what was happening turned the corner around the block where my house was and my house really wasn't any more their immense destructive power makes hurricanes among the most studied weather systems on earth and possibly the most rational explanation for the tragic events occurring within the Bermuda Triangle every fact we can learn about hurricanes may help dismantle the triangles mystery from space we watch their every move here on earth some scientists even deliberately fly into the Bermuda Triangle and into the heart of hurricanes to see what they can learn one such man is Robert Rogers I do research on hurricanes take measurements in the storms we fly into the storms I work with computers to try to better understand how hurricanes work how they form where they'll track what causes them to change intensity produce rainfall those sorts of issues first thing you need is a warm body of warm water the water forms essentially sort of the fuel for the hurricane that's what it needs to sustain itself to drive the energy which then drives the winds essentially of the storm another thing that you need is you need winds that are favorable so that the storm can preserve itself if you have winds that are blowing from different directions at different altitudes for example then the storm can't really maintain itself so you need these these winds essentially all blowing from the same direction in the same speed nowadays satellite technology can warn travelers inside the triangle of an approaching hurricane along with better navigational systems that may explain the recent trend for fewer calamities or disappearances with each successive year but the story is not complete the hurricane season only lasts six months from June to November and many of the disappearances happen out of season are there other natural phenomena that could be party to the mystique waterspouts tornadoes at sea are common off the coast of southern Florida and they too can be deadly this storm over Miami evolved from a tornado into a waterspout with winds of up to 110 miles per hour down here in South Florida we can get them quite often very fascinating phenomenon you can often get several water spouts all in a row that you can watch you know they probably last for five or ten minutes or so but water spouts can appear without warning I know that there is some severe weather out there that can affect ships you can have a waterspout out there so you had some people inside eating lunch well you can get a column of air spinning and it comes down right right over them and they wouldn't even know it dangerous and unpredictable water spouts are too weak to sink big ships or to bring down high-flying aircraft but they could account for a small percentage of the unexplained disappearances inside the triangle but what about more familiar weather such as thunderstorms have they contributed to the myths of the Bermuda Triangle thunderstorms evolve when warm humid air rises to meet cooler air regions such as the Bermuda Triangle from which warmed air perpetually rises are perfect incubators at sea thunderstorms form rapidly unleashing their full destructive power on unsuspecting planes and ships there are many localized types of weather that may affect just a very small area say one particular area of maybe 50 meters in size and then a short distance away the weather may be just completely different and these can come in the form of thunderstorms which will produce microburst downbursts and reading that come down from the thunderstorm and create a great gust of wind perhaps as high as 100 miles an hour that could tip over a ship or or do a lot of damage to a boat like that along with thunderstorms comes lightning a constant threat in this part of the world Davy's has been a dive boat captain for Stuart Cove diving in Nassau for 14 years he dives in the waters of the Bermuda Triangle almost every day we came across a lightning storm we had to pass pretty close to it and you could fill air time the lightning strike are you here are you here the Thunder you just know to let go of a steering wheel because if you held on to it you'll feel a little jolt and after a little bit of time you can hear the antenna sound like a bunch of Hornets in it just buzz and not just cause of the sac electricity building up in it lightning can be disorienting even deadly but usually larger vessels and planes are protected and can ride out a single strike like water spouts and thunderstorms lightning appears to offer no more than a partial explanation of the myth and there are still other factors at work in the Bermuda Triangle possibly helping to explain some of the so-called mysterious disappearances not least among these is the high incidence of drug running and piracy among small boats and light aircraft around the Miami coastline and yet despite all such logical explanations there is one disappearance that has arguably done more than any other to fuel the myth of the Bermuda Triangle on one fair-weather day at the end of the Second World War five naval aircraft carrying 14 young Airmen vanished without a trace the disappearance of the US Navy flight 19 captured the public imagination as the greatest of all Bermuda Triangle mysteries the scale of this calamity was made all the more tragic by the losing of so many men just months after world war ii these are the haunting shots of the crew of flight 19 these young men would become victims of one of America's greatest mysteries bringing international attention to the myth of the Bermuda Triangle wild and weird legends have developed around flight 19 sits disappearance what are the facts perhaps no one knows more about the infamous tragedy than Bermuda Triangle expert enthusiast and author Jean coos our in terms of the triangle I consider myself the person and father to write the biography on it all mysteries about it are the facts instead of the fiction instead of the legend instead of the hearsay Kassar has examined all the known historical records about flight 19 as well as listening to the first-hand accounts of witnesses from the time official records reveal that instrument failure was the first sign of trouble for flight 19 but what really happened if we retrace the steps of the flight could we learn anything new in an authentic world war ii avenger aircraft we decide to reef life or perhaps the first time the exact planned route of the doomed flight 19 out over the waters of the Bermuda Triangle under the leadership of experienced pilot Charles Taylor flight 19 originally took off from what is now Fort Lauderdale International Airport [Music] the planes four of them carrying a crew of three and one with just two aviators on board were to fly a four sided route from Fort Lauderdale to Bimini great harbor K to the island of Grand Bahama and then back to base the weather was fair simple enough you might think the first leg was to take them toward Bimini around 56 miles out from their Fort Lauderdale base with some torpedo practice over chicken and hen shoal on route the plan shows him continuing east on a compass heading of 91 degrees for 67 miles they were then supposed to turn north-northwest for 73 miles the final left turn to the west would have put them on direct course for their Fort Lauderdale home base records showed that they made the first three legs of their journey but they never made that final leg they lost contact at 7:04 p.m. never to be heard from again no remains ever to be found it was a tragic journey for the crew men of flight 19 and the friends and loved ones they left behind Obie O'Brien an ex-navy pilot war hero who signed up the year after the disaster will pilot our Avenger bomber identical to the five planes of flight 19 in 1950 I was flying the Corsair in his preserve squadron and we went to Korea on the USS boxer I flew for his 40-some missions and during that time I was awarded the the Air Medal our pilot is from the same generation as the young and dedicated servicemen of flight 19 who would have been grateful to have survived the dangers of the Second World War to make our flight authentic our plane will navigate with the same basic method as was used by flight 19 and other pilots for years steering by compass and watching the islands below we take off from the same Fort Lauderdale runway at the same time to 10:00 in the afternoon as flight 19 although in slightly better weather conditions for flight nineteen sixty years before the first signs of trouble came when their leader left tenant Charles Taylor radio that he was uncertain of his position Jim Ward was a radio operator on nearby naval ship that day and heard the radio transmissions of the fateful flight [Music] we heard the flight leader come in and call the tower and ask them if they would put their radar on and get a fix on him because he wasn't quite sure where he was it seems inexplicable but it appears Taylor believed that he was over the Florida Keys the island chain stretching 100 miles out into the Gulf of Mexico it's more likely that he was almost some 200 miles further northeast so Tower came back in about 15-20 minutes and said we can't find you on the radar no any idea where you are he said well I think I've seen some islands this what can you identify the island exact transcripts of his radio messages revealed that Taylor was experiencing problems Rodale after flying without incident our plane runs into problems amazingly it's at almost exactly the same time as Taylor announced his instruments were malfunctioning around 350 the turn and slip instrument in our Avenger starts to perform erratically making it harder for our pilot to make smooth and efficient turns it was now three hours since they took off they had enough fuel for at least another three hours the crewmen started to argue and another flight 19 pilot Captain Edward powers tried to take control and turn them to the west in our recreation of the flight the next hour passes smoothly and great Harbor Cay is safely in sight below we make a left turn and head north for a Grand Bahama the most northerly point of our flight and another hours flying time away here flight 19 should have turned west and headed home but by now flight 19 could have been disoriented their fuel dangerously low and with darkness fast approaching [Music] now incredibly another problem affects the recreation of flight 19 our chase plane pilot flying alongside us to take film of the Avenger announces his aircrafts turn and slip indicator exactly the same instrument which became erratic on our plane is also malfunctioning it's completely frozen [Music] what is the problem and more importantly why is it happening almost two hours into recreating flight 19 two planes to instrument failures may be the instruments of both our planes were already faulty whatever the explanation we make our final turn west a heading which could have saved the lives of flight 19 and head for Fort Lauderdale with a spooky feeling flight 19 never made that final turn west the five planes were doomed to fly on with rapidly emptying gas tanks further and further to the east into the empty ocean and the growing darkness [Music] to hit pitch your gas when the first man gets down to ten gallons of gas in the water together seven well I understand that [Music] you and I was the last we heard on the radio they asked him how much gas he had left he said about a half hour 20 minutes we waited to let a half hour and five and there was no more activity on the radio we knew they were down someplace but we didn't know where so they sent out all the boats and all the planes that they had available to go look for them Navy rules dictate that all the planes in a formation should ditch together in such a crisis nobody knows what truly happened to the planes of flight 19 why wasn't a single crewman lifejacket or piece of wreckage from 5-7 ton planes ever found former naval pilot Dave White was part of the search team I think frankly they got lost that the instructor took them the wrong way in spite of other the students saying go west he didn't go far enough West no one knew for certain where flight 19 ditched and it was eight hours before the main search could be mounted it must have seen like an eternity to the cruise loved ones in that time the Gulf Stream current and surface winds would have been able to move any wreckage more than fifty miles from their estimated crash position finding a lone swimmer in those conditions would have been like finding a needle in a haystack well we searched start at about 5:30 in the morning right after daylight and we found absolutely nothing schools of ships and over 200 planes were deployed in the search for flight 19 and it was one of the largest search missions of its kind ever mounted what is it like to be the first pilot ever to reef lie that fateful tragic journey and get home safe Avenger pilot Obie O'Brien I could almost feel the presence of those 14 brave men who perished 60 years ago and it's a very sobering feeling the disappearance of flight 19 and the media frenzy that ensued solidified the legend of the Bermuda Triangle and still remains its best-known mystery but these five planes of 1945 were by no means the last to go missing in 1948 a dc-3 took off from San Juan Puerto Rico on December the 27th bound for Miami it disappeared without trace in 1963 two huge kc-135 aerial refueling military planes crashed on a return flight to homestead Air Base near Miami on August 28th flying 500 feet apart they fell out of the sky simultaneously from around 36,000 feet but the two planes did not just disappear wreckage was found but have the two planes collided was it simple pilot error we will never know the exact truth revealing how easily facts can become myth this flight too has passed into the annals of Bermuda Triangle legends leaving no stone unturned in our quest to unravel what lies behind the myth of the Bermuda Triangle we look at the likelihood of mechanical or pilot failures could human error and spatial disorientation offer an answer to why some planes disappear pilots flying over the ocean can easily lose their sense of position and even confuse which is up and down or left and right humans are not designed for traveling at high speed in three dimensions above the ground even on a clear day it's possible to become disorientated and confuse sea for sky especially when light is reflecting from the ocean surface common in this part of the world in mist and fog the problem is even worse and if it is no longer clear which way is up and down it would be easy to fly straight into the ocean one person who well knows the dangers of pilot disorientation it's Florida flying instructor Carol Collins she thinks the legend of the Bermuda Triangle could have a very simple explanation on a day when it's more hazy you're going to have a much less distinct horizon if we look out this way we do still have a line of the horizon but you can see that it's not quite as clear as it was on the other side I'm gonna put the plane in a bit of a bang all right now we're entering slowly into a climbing term and if you notice you're not really feeling anything I could very gradually get this airplane into a descent and if I don't do a very rapid descent where your ears are starting to pop on you you're never even going to know that you're in that descent clearly she isn't a believer in Colin's opinion many of the aircraft accidents in the Bermuda Triangle can be down to stress being overtired or getting disoriented but what about the disappearances of ships is it possible that human error could be at work whether scientist Chris Lancia agrees that there is an explanation for most incidents not as a scientist but as a resident I would have to describe a lot of the problems ascribe to the Bermuda Triangle is just human error it's a lot of people that do stupid things and to get caught in a stupid area and then they want to blame it on somebody else so I knowing human nature and knowing how many idiots live in the area some of that's just gonna be bad judgment one organization has unique first-hand knowledge about ships and boats getting into trouble in the Bermuda Triangle the US Coast Guard they're involved in rescues all over America's coastline [Music] Chief Petty Officer John Guthrie crew member of a Miami station Coast Guard helicopter and a proud member of the busiest sea Rescue Service in the world he knows exactly how easy it is to become disoriented sometimes you get a haze and if it's a real calm day you'll get the the water looking like the sky in the sky looking like the water according to the US Coast Guard in a review of aircraft and vessel losses in the area over the last 60 years there has been nothing to suggest the casualties were the result of anything other than human error or mechanical failure on an average day the US Coast Guard saves 11 lives and assists more than 130 people in distress in recent years a higher percentage of those needing help have been safely rescued because of a new more accurate generation of a rescue device called an ePub an emergency position indicating radio beacon EPIRBs are credited with saving more than 14 thousand lives worldwide since being introduced in 1982 in the Bermuda Triangle thousands of rescues are made every year the EPIRBs play a vital role in locating distressed vessels they can take this with them and into the water if their boat sinks and activate it and what this does it sends a signal to the satellites which has a code for each individual for a sexy purr officially the US Coast Guard doesn't recognize the existence of the Bermuda Triangle but there are still cases where the Coast Guard has been unable to find a missing vessel even when they have been carrying an e / beacon most Bermuda Triangle disappearances are probably caused by freak weather human error or simple mechanical failure for some unlucky ones it could be a combination of all these one bizarre story involved miami-based property developer Bruce Gernon shortly after takeoff on a routine flight scheduled to take an hour from Andros Island in the Bahamas to Miami Gernon claims to have noticed an innocent-looking lenticular cloud normally seen surrounding mountains it hovered a few miles offshore over the Great Bahama Bank Gernon claims the anvil heads on the clouds formed into a tunnel with blue sky at the end of it as he flew into the cloud he noticed brilliant flashes of light but no actual Forks of lightning it appeared as if the whole cloud was charged with energy he also claims that inside the tunnel strange lines appeared rotating very slowly anti-clockwise the lines ran the entire length of the tunnel which appeared to him to be at least 10 miles in length and it should have taken over three minutes to reach the other end of the tunnel but it only took about 20 seconds Gernon felt a sensation like zero-gravity and when he looked back he could see contrails forming on the wingtips he watched the tunnels slowly collapse into a slit Gernon believes electromagnetic energy can cause a unique electronic fog around a plane and that was the most mysterious part of this flight I wasn't flying through the fog I was flying with the fog it's a different kind of fog it has an electro magnetic energy within it then Gernon claims the fog began to disperse in a few seconds and he saw he was already over Miami when he looked at his watch he was amazed he'd only been airborne for 33 minutes on a flight which should have taken over an hour good on story of a weird electronic fog surrounding his plane in the Bermuda Triangle is so bizarre it defies a simple physical explanation but there is another man attracted to the try myth a self-styled amateur scientist researching what he claims to be a similar phenomenon in a makeshift laboratory in his Vancouver apartment John Hutchison claims to have practiced levitation and metal bending using an electromagnetic force he proudly calls the Hutchison effect he believes he has witnessed the same mysterious electronic fog as Gernon sometimes uncovering the bazaar means meeting those seeking answers outside the box Hutchinson is to some an eccentric dreamer but according to others is a pioneer of science my qualifications is basically I just made it to grade eight I have no qualifications whatsoever the metallic mists that I created my own research which resembles Bruce Gernon special electronic fog and I'm comparing my notes - metallic mist and what I seen this ball of metallic dense greyish white material appearing out of nowhere I know there's a correlation between the two of them Hutchinson says his story began in May 1980 while experimenting with the equipment he had squeezed into his small apartment he says he noticed slight movements in objects near an electric field he was generating he tried moving objects into different areas of the field before suddenly meeting with success making a 60 pound Cannonball levitate above the table surface with the early experiments I was doing it captured a lot of interest from people from all walks of the scientific community and that's the levitation the metal turning all kind of strange and mushy and people felt that there was a lot of applications for this technology that I discovered Hutchinson claims to levitate objects and warp metal using a combination of radio waves and powerful million volt electromagnetic fields has he actually found a way to neutralize the force of gravity truth is nobody's taking him too seriously the established scientific community are not exactly beating a path to his door to follow up his astonishing claims and there's another problem it's Hutchinson's film so there's no way to check his claims Hutchinson says that the effects he has filmed are powered by an incredible energy source his vague on the details but claims it's somehow related to the so far unproven scientific theory of zero-point energy a cubic foot of it can actually power the Earth's energy needs for a hundred years scientists say even the concept of harnessing zero-point energy is no more than completely theoretical undeterred Hutchinson still believes he may have unlocked this hidden energy and he believes that inside the Bermuda Triangle such energy may occur naturally and unleash effects similar to those he says he witnessed in his makeshift laboratory [Music] to Hutchinson these zero-point forces could be powerful enough to warp and flex aircraft bodies even split ships hulls wide open Hutchinson believes that his amateur experiments could shed light on the forces at play in the Bermuda Triangle to date they have not been verified or replicated no ship or plane wreck is known to exhibit the symptoms he describes his theories of unlocking energy by electromagnetism perpetuate the myth of the Bermuda Triangle but shed no light on the realities of the situation it's no more than coincidence but other triangle theorists also linked the forces of magnetism with a Bermuda Triangle legend the earth is like a giant magnet surrounded by the magnetosphere fields of magnetic force stretching from pole to pole one effect of that magnetic field is sometimes visible in the form of the polar lights known in the northern hemisphere as the aurora borealis the fluttering lights are by the sun's energy particles that are swept towards the poles by the Earth's magnetic field colliding with our atmosphere it is that magnetic field that empowers a compass the most vital of all navigation tools until Global Positioning satellites came along compasses point the planet's magnetic north a location that is rarely aligned with the North Pole it's a fact that navigators have learned to compensate for it's long been known that there is one fact about the Bermuda Triangle which some have tried to suggest Mike cause navigation problems in the area it's one of the several places on earth where magnetic and true north have actually lined up with each other another such region off the coast of Japan also has a somewhat mysterious reputation for lost ships but it's hard to imagine how this well-known alignment of the magnetic and true poles could cause problems for any train navigator and yet we have learned of little-known evidence about the Earth's magnetic field a finding that the magnetosphere over the Bermuda Triangle is changing more rapidly than anywhere else on the planet in this one respect it means that the Bermuda Triangle is unlike any other place on earth and the evidence comes from 400 miles out into space the Oracle in 1999 a NASA rocket launched a tiny 132 pounds satellite built by scientists in Denmark since then the Alstead satellite has passed over the waters of the Bermuda Triangle more than 25,000 times measuring the strength of the Earth's magnetic field in the most exciting scientific development of this quest Alstead project director peter stoning from denmark reviews data recorded from above the Bermuda Triangle we have observed that the main field which we term the field coming from the earth food court has changed substantially in the Bermuda region during the past years the Danish satellite produces complex maps of the Earth's magnetic field to build up a detailed picture of changes in the strength of the Earth's magnetism in the atmosphere at sea level and within the Earth's crust from its vantage point in space the satellite gathers data to measure effects deep inside the heart of our planet the Earth's core is probably solidyne but it's thought that the magnetosphere comes from the movement of a liquid outer core spinning like a giant dynamo to generate Earth's magnetic field could this satellite data of a clues to unlock the secrets of the Bermuda Triangle a group of Danish scientists compare their data with similar readings taken twenty years ago by the u.s. max at satellite it was the first time they had looked specifically at the Bermuda Triangle region and it produced a dramatic result comparing the two magnetic fields from the max admission and the Austin mission shows that in the Bermuda region the field has decreased by about 6% during 20 years the planet's magnetic field is weakening more rapidly in the Bermuda Triangle region than anywhere else on earth it's a fascinating finding but what could be causing such changes over the past two decades the ocean and air currents have changed little in centuries the Earth's crust has taken millennia to form so to the Danish scientists it seems likely that the cause of the magnetic field decrease has to lie deeper in the Earth's fiery liquid core they speculate that the magnetic changes could come from a violent turbulence equivalent to a storm deep in the molten iron of the core directly under the Bermuda Triangle so could the recordings of magnetic field decreases offer any sort of answer as to why the Bermuda Triangle has earned itself such a fearsome reputation triangle theorists ask if etic field in the Bermuda Triangle has changed so much could it be affecting navigation systems or weather patterns and if there is a vast swirling storm buried deep in the molten rock below the Bermuda Triangle seabed could that in some mysterious way affect sailors and aviators or their ships and their planes these seem unlikely scenarios Earth's magnetic field has varied greatly over millions of years and is still changing now it's hard to imagine how the slight extra rate of change in the Bermuda region could in any way affect navigation ships and planes or the people who crew them despite such logic questions continued to be posed by those who would believe in the triangle myth [Music] so having set out to try and solve the mystery of why myths around the Bermuda Triangle it continues to raise more questions than answers in fact what have we uncovered so far in our search to find what lies behind the myth of the Bermuda Triangle we've examined the tragic mystery of flight 19 probably caused by human error there have been a lot of EPs and airplanes lost in the Bermuda Triangle but there's been a lot of ships and airplanes lost in other areas of the world too I really think there's something there but I don't have the answer we've heard of UFOs an unlikely contender after seeing what I saw that night I believe there is something did it be in a triangle we've looked at whether ships that have sunk without trace could have fallen victim to extreme weather I know that there is some severe weather out there or planes could have disappeared off the face of the map as a result of the spatial disorientation of their pilots fatigue we've heard one man stories of time distortion an electronic fog and another seemingly impossible claims of levitation and metalbending electromagnetic forces a cubic foot of it can actually power the Earth's energy needs for a hundred years and most intriguing of all the Earth's magnetic field is weakening more rapidly over the Bermuda Triangle than anywhere else on earth [Music] but at the end of our journey no one reasons satisfactorily accounts for the triangles strained reputation the Bermuda Triangle has held on to its secrets [Music] but perhaps that's just the way it should be with one of the world's greatest mysteries [Music] you [Music] you
