Subject: Bermuda Triangle mystery solved?

Posted by: ElusiveDream
Date: Oct 22 16

Most of us have heard of the Bermuda Triangle, right? For years in this strange area of the North Atlantic, ships and planes have been mysteriously disappearing.

Now, US scientists have put forward a new theory as to what might be responsible for these strange disappearances. They believe unusual hexagonal-shaped clouds seen on the western tip of the Triangle may have the ability to bring down ships and planes.

Strange hexagonal clouds?

Aircraft could well be affected, loss of artificial horizon and all that............ships though? Can't see it makes an iota of difference to a ship WHAT the clouds are like - reduced viability? Maybe if near land, but no problem if sufficient sea room.

Basically what might affect a ship, wouldn't bother an aircraft, and vice-versa. No "rational" explanation IMO has ever offered a plausible theory to cover both.

You would expect cloud formations to affect planes, but how could they possibly affect ships?

The Bermuda Triangle is a pretty big stretch of ocean. I sailed through it many, many times and never noticed anything unusual.

Elusive..............precisely - they can't! I spent 12 years of my life at sea, and never saw ANY cloud(s) remotely threatening to the ship (and that includes being in a Typhoon at sea.
I concede however, that I have never been in the Bermuda Triangle.

Mommakat, whilst I seriously doubt extra-terrestrial intervention - when all possible theories have been exhausted and no solution found to the mysteries, then the "impossible" has to be considered, and thus by consideration are elevated to "possible" status.

The scientists seem to be suggesting that these odd-shaped clouds are found in groups rather than being scattered randomly across the sky, but it makes no sense how this could possibly affect a ship. Yes, it would affect planes because they're up in the air, but ships? How does that work?

LOL; I was joking C30, of course there aren't any little green men in space ships. When I was some place which escapes me for naming at the moment, in America, it was a magnetic field where things did not hang plumb. Possibly this is some magnetic field also, and possibly half of it is myth anyway.

Were those clouds created by what they were smoking? I recently viewed a report on a horizontal funnel type cloud that a pilot had flown through. He claimed the distance he traveled in the time he traveled it, that he would have been flying at 2,000 + MPH. Crazy for a small plane at 260 MPH. He had witnesses on board and reported it in Miami, FL.

I think Bermuda Triangle issue has no truths at all because I didn't see some proofs of the issue.
