The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is an undefined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The triangle does not exist according to the US Navy and the name is not recognized by the US Board on Geographic Names.[1] Popular culture has attributed various disappearances to the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings.[2]
Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the
incidents were spurious, inaccurately reported, or embellished by later
authors.[3][4][5] Contrary to popular belief, insurance companies do not charge higher premiums for shipping in this area
