The Bermuda Triangle (also known as "the Devil's Triangle) is a geographical area with a triangle, with an approximate area of \u200b\u200b1.1 million km ², located in the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Fort Lauderdale (Florida).
is famous because in the mid-twentieth century writers published several articles in magazines about alleged danger of the area.
The first documented mention of disappearances in the area was made in 1951: Jones-VWD Associated Press reporter, wrote about some ships lost in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Bahamas.
Jones said that the disappearances of ships, aircraft and small boats were "mysterious." And he gave this area its nickname of "Devil's Triangle." The following year (1952) George X. Sand said in an article in Fate Magazine in that area were happening 'foreign marine disappearances. "
In 1964, Vincent Gaddis tabloid writer (1913-1997) coined the term "Bermuda Triangle" in an article in the American revistaamarillista Argosy. The following year he published the book Invisible Horizons: True Mysteries of the Sea ('Invisible Horizons: True Mysteries of the sea'), which included a chapter called "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle." Generally, Gaddis is considered the inventor of the 'triangle' of Bermuda.
But only ten years later, the supposed mystery became a true myth by Charles Berlitz (1914-2003, New York writer of science fiction), who in 1974 wrote the bestseller The Bermuda Triangle, where he copied text quite Gaddis and collected cases of disappearances (very manipulated and misrepresented), mixed with blatant falsehoods and inventions. But statistics from the Coast Guard of the United States do not indicate that this area has more disappearances of ships and planes in other areas like traffic.
