The Bermuda Triangle covers almost 440,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean. An imaginary line that begins near Melbourne, Florida, extends south to Bermuda, and west to Puerto Rico before turning north to Florida, forms the Triangle. From 1972-1999, more than one hundred planes and ships have vanished into thin air. More than one thousand lives have been lost as well. One frightening aspect of this entire saga is that disappearances continue to occur at an alarming rate.

A small part of the Bermuda Triangle lies in the Sargasso Sea. This sea is best known for its tall, thick, floating seaweed called Sargassum. The seaweed is thought to be a forest that once rested on an island in the Atlantic Ocean. According to legend, the island sank at a very quick pace, taking with it the forest and vegetation.

One of the most notable disappearances is that of Flight 19. The flight consisted of five Navy TBM Aveng

People from all walks of life have proposed several theories about these abnormalities. Suggestions that a gigantic octopus exists seem too far-fetched. Scientists studying the conditions in the Triangle agree that it could be an atmospheric, gravitational, or electromagnetic disturbance. Dr. Manson Valentine suggests: ? There may be various and sometimes inimical groups of space visitors and some of these visiting entities may be related to us. Ivan Sanderson theorized: ?The increasing threat to our own ocean environment may be shared by highly developed life terms within the ocean.?

At 4:26 p.m. Fort Everglades Rescue intercepted a transmission from FT-28. Immediately, the rescue team called several stations along the coast and asked them to turn on their radar and attempt to locate the lost flight. At 6:04 p.m. Lieutenant Taylor radioed his flight crew to tell them they were off course and needed to adjust their course to a more easterly direction. That exercise appears to have mysteriously taken them further from land. At 7:04 p.m. all radio communication ceased.
