blue dragon : the dragon's lair the bermuda triangle

the bermuda triangle

Posted on May 28th, 2008 by blue dragon : the dragon's lair blue dragon
Good day there are many beliefs and many disappearances related to the Bermuda triangle. I am going to talk to you about the supernatural side of the Bermuda triangle. In this speech I am going to talk about the Bermuda triangle, famous disappearances, and theories and then you can decide for your self if there is anything supernatural about the Bermuda triangle.
The Bermuda triangle a.k.a. the “Devil’s Triangle” is a region of the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, which is responsible for a number of aircraft, and surface vessels that went in their and never returned. Popular culture went to the paranormal, a suspension of the laws of physics, or even extraterrestrial activities. Although some of the disappearances have been explained or seem to be explained most haven’t.
It is said that Christopher Columbus was the first to encounter the Bermuda triangle. He reported that he and his crew saw what appeared to be fire dancing above the horizon line, and how they received odd compass readings in certain areas. From his logbook dated October 11, 1492
“The land was first seen by a sailor (Rodrigo de Triana), although the Admiral at ten o'clock that evening standing on the quarter-deck saw a light, but so small a body that he could not affirm it to be land; calling to Pero Gutiérrez, groom of the King's wardrobe, he told him he saw a light, and bid him look that way, which he did and saw it; he did the same to Rodrigo Sánchez of Segovia, whom the King and Queen had sent with the squadron as comptroller, but he was unable to see it from his situation. The Admiral again perceived it once or twice, appearing like the light of a wax candle moving up and down, which some thought an indication of land. But the Admiral held it for certain that land was near.” Modern scholars believe that the dancing fires were from the fires that were used for cooking from the Taino natives in their canoes or on the beach.
Presently what happens in the Bermuda triangle have been blamed on Compass Variations, Hurricanes, The Gulf Stream, Freak waves, Human error, Deliberate acts of destruction, but the most popular theory is Atlantis. Compass variations are the most common problem in the Bermuda triangle. Compasses have many magnetic variations in relation to the poles. In the United States the only places that the Magnetic north and the Geographic north are exactly the same on a line running from Wisconsin to the Gulf of Mexico. Navigators knew that for centuries, but not everyone from the public body knows about that. Hurricanes are large extremely powerful storms that are spawned in the Atlantic near the equator and have been known historically to cause thousands of deaths and billions of dollars in damage since the 1504 sinking of Francisco de Barbadilla’s Spanish fleet. These storms have since caused a number of incidents at the Bermuda triangle (Or so the government says). The Gulf Stream is an ocean current that originates from the Gulf of Mexico and then through the Straits of Florida, into the Northern Atlantic. So it’s like a river in the ocean and like a river it tends to carry things away with its current. So a small plane making a landing or a boat having engine trouble would get carried away from its reported position. Freak waves are extremely large waves that appear at random and can even occur during calm seas, one such wave caused the world’s largest offshore platform to capsize in 1982. There is no reason to believe that rouge waves are more common in Bermuda, and they can’t account for the loss of aircrafts.
Human error and acts of deliberate destruction, one of the most common explanations to a loss of anything in the Bermuda triangle is either human error or deliberate destruction either being acts of war or piracy. Humans have been known to make mistakes and the Bermuda triangle is no exception.
Triangle writers have used a number of supernatural theories, and the most popular amongst these is left over technology of Atlantis. Sometimes related to the Atlantis story is the Bimini road off the island of Bimini. Some followers describe it as a road or a wall or other structure to be made of natural origin. Charles Berlitz, grandson of a distinguished linguist and author of various additional books on anomalous phenomena, and attributed the losses to paranormal phenomenon.
Flight 19 was a training flight of TBM flight bombers that were flying in through the Bermuda triangle on December 5, 1945. While over the Atlantic the expression was given that the flight encountered unusual phenomenon and anomalous compass readings, and the flight took place on a calm day under the supervision of an experienced pilot, Lt. Charles Carroll Taylor. The Navy reported the incident as “Causes or Reasons unknown” by request of Taylor’s mother. The mission was a 2 hour-long patrol from Fort Lauderdale 150 miles east, north 40 and then return to base. The TBM’s had enough fuel to last five to five and a half hours in the air. At 3:25 in the afternoon instead of asking for landing instructions, they sounded confused and worried. "Cannot see land," he blurts. "We seem to be off course."
"What is your position?" the tower asks.
There are a few moments of silence. No sign of the flight.
"We cannot be sure where we are," the flight leader announces. "Repeat: Cannot see land."
Contact was lost with the flight for about 10 minutes and then resumed. But, it was not the voice of the flight leader. Instead, voices of the crews were heard, sounding confused and disoriented, "more like a bunch of boy scouts lost in the woods than experienced airmen flying in clear weather."
"We can't find west. Everything is wrong. We can't be sure of any direction. Everything looks strange, even the ocean."
Another delay and then the tower operator learned to his surprise that the leader had handed over his command to another pilot for no apparent reason. Twenty minutes later, the new leader called the tower, his voice trembling and bordering on hysteria.
"We can't tell where we are . . . everything is . . . can't make out anything. We think we may be about 225 miles northeast of base . . ."
For a few moments the pilot rambled incoherently before uttering the last words ever heard from Flight 19:
"It looks like we are entering white water . . . We're completely lost." The disappearances sparked one of the largest air and sea searches in history. Nothing was ever found no bodies, no aircrafts, and not even any spots of oil.
Raifuku Maru was a Japanese vessel went down with all hands after sending a distress signal that said “Danger like dagger now. Come quick”. This had writers speculate on what dagger was. They think that dagger didn’t mean waterspout but it, was a clear, calm day, nor was the word dagger a part of the ships distress call.
Dr. Ben Clennell, of Leeds University, England made note of the possibility of methane hydrates as the source of the source for the disappearing ships. He claimed that methane locked below the sea floor. He told about how Mediterranean landslides can expose the beds of methane hydrates. Causing the density of water to lower not being able to sustain the weight of any thing on top; then he told about how methane would ignite and destroy any aircrafts within the explosion radius.
Another school for thought regarding the disappearances of people and their plane; some people believe they are “trapped between dimensions of which there is no way out.” The victims were in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is believed that the Bermuda triangle is one of the two portals used by “humanlike” aliens to quickly travel from their world to ours. The occurrence happens 25 times a year and lasts for 28 minutes, the “humanlike” alien’s technology allow them to use “time compression, solar power and the ability to reduce friction” for traveling across vast distances and it supposedly only takes them a total of 24 hours for them to get from their planet to hour planet. The “humanlike” aliens know exactly when to use these “time holes”.
Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) someone who became known as U.S.’s most prominent advocate of Atlantis, claimed the ability to see the future and talk to the long dead spirits of the past. He identified himself and countless others as reincarnated Atlanteans. He believed that they possessed remarkable technologies one of which is called a “fire crystals” which they used to harness energy. He believed that the fire crystals went out of control and were the cause of Atlantis sinking. He believed that the damaged fire crystals occasional send out energy fields which messes with ships and aircrafts navigation systems. He prophesied, “Elements of Atlantis would rise in 1968 and 1969.” The Bimini wall or road was discovered in 1968.
In 1970, Dr. Ray Brown, a naturopathic practitioner from Mesa, Arizona, went scuba diving with some friends off the coast of the Bari Islands, in the Bahamas, close to a popular area known as the tongue of the ocean. During one of his dives he became separated from his friends and while searching for his friends, he was startled when he saw a strange pyramid shaped silhouette against the aquamarine light. Upon investigating further, he was surprised at how smooth and mirror like the stone surface of the structure was. After swimming around it he discovered an entrance and he decided to explore the inside. He swam down a hallway and eventually came into a small rectangular room with a pyramid shaped ceiling. The room looked like it had just been made there were no algae or coral growing on the walls or floor. He brought no torch with him and he could look around the room and saw everything with his normal eyesight but no direct light was visible. Soon his attention was drawn to a brassy metallic rod three inches in diameter hanging from the apex in the center of the room and it was attached with many red gems, which tapered to a point. Directly below this sitting in the middle of the floor was a stand of carved topped by a stone plate and scrolled ends, on the plate stood a pair of lifelike bronze colored hands that appeared blackened and burnt, and in the hands was a crystal sphere that is approximately four inches in diameter. He tried to take the rod but it wouldn’t budge, so instead he went down to the crystal sphere and took that instead; then as he was fleeing, he felt and unseen presence, and heard a voice that told him, “never to return”.
Deep inside this crystal sphere it is said that you can see three pyramidal images, one in front of the other in decreasing sizes. Some people who enter a deep meditative state say they saw a fourth pyramid in the foreground of the other three. Elizabeth Bacon, a New York psychic claimed that while in trance, the crystal sphere belonged to Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom, the Egyptian god who was responsible for burying a secret vault of knowledge near the pyramids of Giza.
Is the Bermuda triangle a normal triangle in which their was just a bunch of people trying to scare other people, is it a gate way to other worlds in which our wildest fears come true, or are we just starting to discover what used to be the lost city of Atlantis. The answers are one trip away.
