Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved: Here’s How, Scientists Say

The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle has been reportedly claimed to have been solved. Scientists have suggested that hexagonal clouds, which create destructive air bombs with winds travelling at 170mph, could explain the mysterious Bermuda Triangle, where things like ships and aircrafts seem to disappear. The terrifying clouds can apparently overturn ships and crash planes into the sea.

The mysterious 500,000km square patch in the North Atlantic Ocean, also known as Devil's Triangle, has been attributed with the disappearance of a whopping number of at least 75 planes and hundreds of ships. On an average 20 ships and four planes go missing in a year in the Bermuda triangle, and around 1,000 lives have been lost in the region in the past 100 years, as per a report.

According to the scientists, the air bombs are so powerful that they can generate 45ft high winds. "These types of hexagonal shapes over the ocean are in essence air bombs," said meteorologist Randy Cerveny. "They are formed by what are called microbursts and they are blasts of air that come down out of the bottom of a cloud and then hit the ocean and then create waves that can sometimes be massive in size as they start to interact with each other."

The reason for the cloud formation over the Bermuda region has not been exactly determined as of now, according to reports, nor does anyone know how long they have been occurring. However, the clouds are said to be rather wide and measure anywhere from 20 to 55 miles across, which consequently create microbursts. A microburst is said to be similar to tornadoes in the scale of destruction that they can cause, and unlike tornadoes they are unpredictable. It should be noted that the explanation offered by scientists for the mystery of Bermuda Triangle is still a theory at the moment.
