12. THEORIES
Many theories have been given to explain the
extraordinary mystery of these missing ships and
planes.
Sci-Fi Theory
Magnetic Force Theory
Gas Bubble Theory
Gulf Stream
Tropical weather
Alien’s theory

13. Sci-Fi Theory
it could be........
The “MONSTERS ”

14. Contd…
•One theory is that a giant sea animal
lives in the triangle. It takes ships and
pulls them down.
•Also there was a sighting of a monster
jellyfish
•There is the thought of a giant octopus
that pulls people off the ship and eats .
them, but I think that is a stupid theory.
Who knows, there may just be
something in the Bermuda Triangle.

15. Some people say that the
Bermuda Triangle is one of the
few places on Earth with a
magnetic force.
The magnetic force in the
Triangle has been known to
cause a compass to fail or
point to true North, which is
different than North in general.
Magnetic Force Theory

16. Hydrates of methane formed at the depth of
more than 300 meters at temperature of about
2 degrees above zero.
This substance turns into gaseous state.
The density of water descends down sharply
and they can’t secure floatation of ships.
Gas Bubble Theory

17. Gulf Stream
The gulf stream is an ocean current that
originates in the gulf of Mexico.
It can carry floating objects like a river.
It has a surface velocity of about 2.5 m/s.
A small plan making a water landing or a boat
having engine trouble can be carried away by
the current.

18. •Short and intense storms build up,
undetected by satellite surveillance.
•Presence of such dangerous elements
as waterspouts that could easily destroy
anything.
Tropical Weather

houses the famous lost city of Atlantis.
No evidence has been brought forth to
prove this theory, but many claim to have
seem or "felt the powers" of the lost city.

evidence to show any sign of UFOs
(Unidentified Flying Objects) in the
area.
•Several people have claimed to
have made UFO sightings,
•UFO experts and enthusiasts do
not support the photographs

21. Incidences occurred in
the Bermuda Triangle.

22. Flight 19 occurred
when a group of five
fighter planes
disappeared without a
trace. They vanished
on a training mission
during a severe storm
in 1945. Several
rescue planes went
out to look for them,
one of them vanished
too.

23. Douglas DC-3
On December 28, 1948, a Douglas DC-3
aircraft, disappeared while on a flight from
San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Miami. No trace of
the aircraft or the 32 people onboard was
ever found.

24. 1948: Four-engined Tudor IV lost with 31 lives.
1950: American freighter, SS Sandra (350 ft),
sinks without a trace.
1954: US Navy Lockheed Constellation
vanishes with 42 aboard.
1962: US Air Force KB-50 tanker plane lost.
1963: Marine Sulpher Queen vanishes without

Some Other Incidences

25. 1967: Military YC-122, converted to cargo
plane, lost.
1970: French freighter Milton latrides
disappears.
1972: German freighter Anita (20,000 tons),
lost with crew of 32.
1997: Passengers disappear from German

26. Kusche’s research
Larry Kusche,
author of “The
Bermuda Triangle
Mystery: Solved”
argued that many
claims of
subsequent writers
were often
exaggerated or
unverifiable. Kusche also argued that a large percentage of
the incidents occurred well outside it.

27. So is the mystery true??
Was there a raging storm?
Or the aliens or monsters?
Did Larry Kusche actually solve the Bermuda
triangle?
Or was he trying to look smart?

29. CONCLUSION
•Still the area is undoubtedly an area of
great tragedy and even mystery.
•Perhaps the ocean is to remain a
secret to man, a mystery, to keep us
away from the power nature truly has
over man.
•This mystery can serve as a warning
and to inspire awe into men's heart,
looking at the greatness and power this
great Creation.
