Bermuda Triangle mystery may have finally been solved after new bombshell theory by scientist (Image: Getty)
has long held a fascination among many due to its endless mystery.
The unexplained disappearance of several ships and planes without a trace with some even being abandoned altogether and others transmitting no distress signals still captivate us today.
In fact, one squadron of five U.S. Navy aircraft which vanished in 1945 at The Bermuda Triangle is considered to be one of the greatest aviation mysteries, all adding to the region’s equal source of fear and fascination.
Urban legends continue to swirl around it with a number of theories alluding to its mystery with scientists now claiming to have finally “solved” the Bermuda Triangle mystery.

Located in the North Atlantic Ocean, this eerie patch in the sea has left theorists baffled for years.
Between the points of Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico, many would have you believe it’s a spot where the usual maritime laws cease to exist.
According to oceanographer at the University of Southampton, Simon Boxall, it could all be done to rogue waves.
Boxall further elaborates on this theory in a documentary entitled The Bermuda Triangle Enigma whereby he further explains these ominous waves which are categorised as both unpredictable and violent currents, reaching a staggering two times the size of surrounding waves.

Boxall said: “There are storms to the south and north, which come together.
“And if there are additional ones from Florida, it can be a potentially deadly formation of rogue waves.”
Another interesting theory involves the gulf stream with many others also previously stating its potential responsibility with the disappearances.
In the Channel 5 documentary, Nick Hutchings, a mineral prospector stated that minerals found in an “underwater volcano” could be the cause of what previously threw so many travellers off course.
Hutchings said: “Bermuda’s basically a sea mountain – it’s an underwater volcano. 30 million years ago, it was sticking up above sea level.
“We have a few core samples, which have magnetite in them. It’s the most magnetic naturally occurring material on Earth.”
Another plausible explanation comes down to simply a case of “bad weather and human error” which Australian scientists, Karl Kruszelnicki, declared.
Regardless, The Bermuda Triangle will forever be a place of unexplained mysteries with a host of theories you can choose from.
