Study Notes

The Bermuda Triangle legend began on December 5, 1945, when five aircraft mysteriously disappeared.
The doomed Flight 19 consisted of five Avenger torpedo bombers, the US Navy's top ship and submarine killer, with a range of 1,000 miles and capable of carrying up to 2,000 lb of ordinance.

The Avenger aircraft took off from Fort Lauderdale at 10:02 on a clear winter's afternoon.
Four hours later, they vanished into thin air, prompting a naval air search rescue plane to take off into the darkening skies.
The rescue plane also disappeared 20 minutes later, at 7:47 p.m.

After a massive search, no wreckage was found, and nothing was ever heard from the crew again.
Over the last 60 years, the mystery has sustained wild theories about strange forces at work in the area.

The legend claims that the triangle covers the seas between Miami, the island of Bermuda, and Puerto Rico, an area of approximately 1.2 million square miles.
Since 1492, when Columbus first sailed into the area, the list of unexplainable disappearances has grown, with thousands of ships and planes vanishing without warning.

Richard Wier, a bestselling author, has written about these strange disappearances, suggesting that we know more about the Moon and Mars than our own planet.
Theories about the Bermuda Triangle include giant sea monsters, cosmic time wars, spinning compasses, and holes in the ocean that swallowed ships.
Some believe that there's an anomaly going on down there that we can't explain, something that occurs far below the deepest rays of sunlight.
