upon, has a vaguely triangular shape marked by the

ORIGIN
• The term "Bermuda Triangle" was coined in 1964 by 
writer Vincent Gaddis in the men's pulp magazine 
Argosy. 
• Though Gaddis first came up with the phrase, a much 
more famous name propelled it into international 
popularity a decade later.

PUBLICATION
• The earliest suggestion of unusual disappearances in 
the Bermuda area appeared in an article in September 
1950. 
• Two years later, Fate magazine published Sea Mystery 
at Our Back Door, a short article by George X Sand 
covering the loss of several planes and ships.

SAND’S ARTICLE
• Sand’s article was the first to lay out the now-familiar 
triangular area where the losses took place. 
• In it, author Allan W Eckert wrote that the flight leader 
had been heard saying, ‘We’re entering white water, 
nothing seems right.

DEVIL’S TRIANGLE
• In 1969 John Wallace Spencer wrote a book 
called Limbo of the Lost specifically about the Triangle 
and, two years later, a feature documentary on the 
subject, The Devil’s Triangle, was released.

WHY DO SHIPS AND PLANES SEEM 
TO GO MISSING IN THE REGION?
• Some authors suggested it may be due to a strange 
magnetic anomaly that affects compass readings. 
• Others theorise that methane eruptions from the ocean 
floor may suddenly be turning the sea into a froth that 
can’t support a ship’s weight causing it to sink.

ALIEN RACE
• Some books have gone as far as conjecturing that the 
disappearances are due to an intelligent, 
technologically advanced alien race living in space or 
under the sea.

MYSTRY DISCOVER
• In 2016 researchers in the US, however, claimed that 
they had finally discovered the answer to the mystery 
of the Bermuda Triangle.
• Meteorologists claim that an unusual type of cloud 
located in the region could be behind a number of the 
disappearances.

HEXAGONAL-SHAPED 
CLOUDS
• The hexagonal-shaped clouds, measuring between 20 
and 50 miles across, can cause extremely localised 
high winds which, they speculate, could be the cause 
of some of the previously-unexplained incidents.
