BERMUDA TRIANGLE

The "Bermuda Triangle" or "Devil's Triangle" is an imaginary area located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States of America, which is noted for a supposedly high incidence of unexplained disappearances of ships and aircraft. The apexes of the triangle are generally believed to be Bermuda; Miami, Florida; and San Juan, Puerto Rico. The US Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle as an official name. The US Navy does not believe the Bermuda Triangle exists. It is reported that Lloyd's of London, the world's leading market for specialist insurance, does not charge higher premiums for vessels transiting this heavily traveled area.

The most famous US Navy losses which have occurred in the area popularly known as the Bermuda Triangle are USS Cyclops in March 1918 and theaircraft of flight 19 in December 1945. The ship probably sank in an unexpected storm, and the aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean -- no physical traces of them have ever been found. Another well known disappearance is the civilian tanker SS Marine Sulphur Queen carrying bulk molten sulfur which sank in February 1963. Although the wreck of Marine Sulphur Queen has not been located, a life preserver and other floating artifacts were recovered. These disappearances have been used to provide credence to the popular belief in the mystery and purported supernatural qualities of the "Bermuda Triangle."

Since the days of early civilization many thousands of ships have sunk and/or disappeared in waters around the world due to navigational and other human errors, storms, piracy, fires, and structural/mechanical failures. Aircraft are subject to the same problems, and many of them have crashed at sea around the globe. Often, there were no living witnesses to the sinking or crash, and hence the exact cause of the loss and the location of the lost ship or aircraft are unknown. A large number of pleasure boats travel the waters between Florida and the Bahamas. All too often, crossings are attempted with too small a boat, insufficient knowledge of the area's hazards, and a lack of good seamanship.

To see how common accidents are at sea, you can examine some of the recent accident reports of the National Transportation Safety Board for ships and aircraft. One of the aircraft accident reports concerns an in-flight engine failure and subsequent ditching of a Cessna aircraft near Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas on 13 July 2003. This is the type of accident that would likely have been attributed to mysterious causes in the Bermuda Triangle if there had been no survivors or other eyewitnesses of the crash.

A significant factor with regard to missing vessels in the Bermuda Triangle is a strong ocean current called the Gulf Stream. It is extremely swift and turbulent and can quickly erase evidence of a disaster. The weather also plays its role. Prior to the development of telegraph, radio and radar, sailors did not know a storm or hurricane was nearby until it appeared on the horizon. For example, the Continental Navy sloop Saratoga was lost off the Bahamas in such a storm with all her crew on 18 March 1781. Sudden local thunder storms and water spouts can sometimes spell disaster for mariners and air crews. Finally, the topography of the ocean floor varies from extensive shoals around the islands to some of the deepest marine trenches in the world. With the interaction of the strong currents over the many reefs the topography of the ocean bottom is in a state of flux and the development of new navigational hazards can sometimes be swift.

It has been inaccurately claimed that the Bermuda Triangle is one of the two places on earth at which a magnetic compass points towards true north. Normally a compass will point toward magnetic north. The difference between the two is known as compass variation. The amount of variation changes by as much as 60 degrees at various locations around the World. If this compass variation or error is not compensated for, navigators can find themselves far off course and in deep trouble. Although in the past this compass variation did affect the "Bermuda Triangle" region, due to fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field this has apparently not been the case since the nineteenth century.

We know of no US Government-issued maps that delineate the boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle. However, general maps as well as nautical and aviation charts of the general area are widely available in libraries and from commercial map dealers.

U.F.O

An unidentified flying object, or UFO, is any object in the air or upper atmosphere that cannot be identified. Some definitions, such as that which is used by the USAF, define a UFO as an object unable to be identified after scrutiny, while other definitions define an object as being a UFO from the time it is first reported as being unidentified, even though most subsequently become IFOs, Identified Flying Objects.

Reports of unusual aerial phenomena date back to ancient times, but modern reports and the first official investigations began during World War II with sightings of so-called foo fighters by Allied airplane crews, and in 1946 with widespread sightings of European "ghost rockets". UFO reports became even more common after the first widely publicized United States UFO sighting, by private pilot Kenneth Arnold in mid 1947. Hundreds of thousands of UFO reports have since been made worldwide.

On a clear typical night within a 2hr window just after sunset, there can be seen at certain vantage points multiple star like objects "UFO" traveling within a straight line at high and low altitudes. Their seems to be "particular aerial highways" these objects are using on a yearly to daily bases. A North-South/South-North direction seems to be a common route used by these aerial star like objects "UFO". From NYUFO vantage point the Atlantic Ocean is South and Upper New York State leading to Canada is just North of here. NYUFO questions whether these objects are entering or returning from hidden bases located within the United States and or Canada & also located in the Atlantic Ocean. There seems to be a connection to these Star Like Unknown Objects "UFO" being seen above and some news worthy events occurring within their routes of travel.

For those of you who remember flight 800 the commercial aircraft that mysteriously fell into the Atlantic Ocean in the "Moriches Bay" Long Island on July 17,1996.This tragic incident is believed by NYUFO to be within the time frame and aerial highway used by these unknown star like objects "UFO".

A news article written by the Associated Press quoted a military-trained helicopter pilot named Frederick C Meyer, who was flying an Air National Guard H-60 Black Hawk helicopter on a training mission,was among the first of many eyewitnesses to report having seen a "light Streak" arcing in the sky before the jet exploded.

NYUFO theory is that their could have been a secret operation taking place by either the US Navy & or Brookhaven National Labs using laser cannons to shoot down these Star Light Objects "UFO" crossing over their particular airspace and flight 800 was just in the wrong place at the wrong time!

The Star Wars or SDI program deploying Ground Base & Space Base laser technology has successfully been used against extraterrestrial objects shown by two cases that occurred between 1989 and 1992. Both cases UFO were shot down. During the night of September 28, 1989,at about midnight, the Ultra Super Secret Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island successfully brought down a boomerang shaped object sighted by dozens of eye witnesses crashing in the "Moriches Bay". A second UFO brought down by the same Laboratory occurred on Nov 24,1992 at around 7:12pm. The object crashed in South Haven Park, within the vicinity of the Laboratory,which was quickly sealed off by police, fire dept,and Army. A video tape made by the fire department shows the burning wreck and three small corpses with big almond-shaped eyes was passed on to the UFO researcher John Ford of the Long Island UFO Network by an employee of the Brookhaven Lab.
Accordingly these two cases were not isolated cases.
Nov 24,1992 possible ufo crash artifact recovered.
Taken from KeelyNet (214) 324-3501 Sponsored by Vangard Sciences PO BOX 1031 Mesquite, TX 75150 arch 30, 1990 UFO Landing and Government Intercept Hi there.My name is Ed Sanborn and I'm the MUFON State Director for Mass. I received the following in the mail from a member of the LIUFON on Friday Nov. 24, 1989:LONG ISLAND U.F.O.NETWORK P.O. BOX 232 Center Moriches,New York 11934 A NON- PROFIT RESEARCH ORGANIZATION. PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE COPY The Long Island UFO Network, Inc., a non-profit research organization based on Long Island, announces to the media of the Metropolitan area and the Nation that we have evidence that on September 28, 1989 the United States Armed Forces attempted to recover a disabled,or landed UFO. The incident occurred on the Dune Area of Smith's Point Beach near the entrance to the Moriches Bay. Military and Suffolk County Police Helicopters were involved in an apparent attempt to monitor the craft on the Beach. A second object estimated to be 574 feet to a thousand feet long was observed hovering over the Bay.It was composed of six tremendously large lights. The helicopters (six involved) were composed of four military helicopters and two Suffolk County Police Helicopters. These helicopters surrounded the large object (commonly referred to as a mother ship) in a circular rotation passing around this object in a counter clockwise flight, the helicopters would then fly over the second downed object in the dunes. As this maneuver was completed, the area would be illuminated by the helicopters searchlights in an attempt to illuminate what was on the ground. Long Island UFO Network, Inc. has interviewed the eyewitnesses to this event. The family lives in Center Moriches Long Island.The husband, wife, and their adult son observed the large object from their backyard in response to military helicopter overflights of their home. The husband and son drove to the Union Ave. dock and for two and a half hours observed the operation. The witnesses described the operation to LIUFON investigators' under the provision their identities and address be held in the strictest confidentiality. For their protection they were interviewed on tape under fictitious identities and addresses. The husband's taped interview is available to the media for examination with permission of the witness. The case is under further investigation by LIUFON investigators. As more information develops it will be released to the media. The case will be discussed at our forthcoming conference on October 29th in Middle Island, NY at the Artist Lake Condominium Center. There exists 48 photographs of this occurrence taken by the eyewitnesses. They have been impounded by LIUFON for scientific evaluation. As soon as tests are finished they will be presented to the public on the Joel Martin Cable TV Show on Cablevision at a date to be announced.We call upon the FAA, Suffolk County Police and the United States Government to comment on this.Did they have UFO's over Moriches Bay on Sept. 28, 1989 between 8:45 P.M. to 11:30 P.M. and were they monitoring it? LIUFON demands to know, the public demands to know and the World demands to know.

Also another airliner which nose dived into the ocean off the coast of Nantucket Mass.
at 33,000 feet around 1:52am on Oct.31,1999 EgyptAir Flight 990 the crash still remains a aviation crash mystery.
