upon. Approximations of the total 
area range between 500,000 and 
1,510,000 square miles. By all 
approximations, the region has a 
vaguely triangular shape.

BERMUDA 
TRIANGLE
Although reports of unexplained occurrences in 
the region date to the mid-19th century, the 
phrase “Bermuda Triangle” didn’t come into 
use until 1964. The phrase first appeared in 
print in a pulp magazine article by Vincent 
Gaddis, who used the phrase to describe a 
triangular region “that has destroyed hundreds 
of ships and planes without a trace.”

DISAPPEARANCE
Despite its reputation, the Bermuda Triangle 
does not have a high incidence of 
disappearances. Disappearances do not occur 
with greater frequency in the Bermuda Triangle 
than in any other comparable region of the 
Atlantic Ocean.
