I like a good mystery, especially when the paranormal is involved. Ever since I could read paragraphs, I have been fascinated by the Bermuda Triangle. One of the first readers my parents bought for me had a non-fiction story detailing the mysterious disappearances and occurrences in the area north of their native country of Haiti.
Once again, Science comes out on top with a very plausible theory, presented effectively in Discovery Channel’s show, Dive to Bermuda Triangle. What causes huge shipping freighters to vanish in thin air? What happened to a 1940′s air squadron in the Atlantic of the coast of Florida? What could cause 100 foot waves to materialize out of nowhere?
Spoiler alert!

I won’t ruin it anymore for you, because the experiments they show to test these theories and the investigation are fascinating and worth watching the 2 hour show. They even hired hollywood special effects techs to assist in one of the more flame intense experiments.

Panorama of the East Coast
This Jan. 29 panorama of much of the East Coast, photographed by one of the Expedition 30 crew members aboard the International Space Station, provides a look generally northeastward: Philadelphia-New York City-Boston corridor (bottom-center); western Lake Ontario shoreline with Toronto (left edge); Montreal (near center). An optical illusion in the photo makes the atmospheric limb and light activity from Aurora Borealis appear "intertwined." Image Credit: NASA
