why this has been hushed of late

[1.618034]

Perhaps things have "stopped of late" because of the advances in technology like GPS/black box etc... which would aid finding "lost" or distressed craft?

Perhaps, like has been said, there weren't as many disappearances as had been previously reported..?


Further to my earlier post about the Sargasso Sea on page 1. (I'll put it into a few sentences just in case a full article is beyond some.)

The Sargasso sea gets it's name from Sargassum, a type of seaweed which floats on top of the ocean in this area. It stays there because of the currents which cause the sea to be very flat, a lot like the huge mass of floating plastic and rubbish in the middle of the Pacific which has been collected in a similar way...

These same currents have been used for centuries by sailors to traverse the Atlantic... If you wanted to sail from Europe to America then you would sail south to the Canaries and then pick up the trade winds that take you (and Hurricanes) across to the West Indies and America beyond. To come back you would need to sail to the north of this and pick up the Gulf Stream which brings you (and our usual climate) back east...

This means that the "dead zone" in-between has been a no go area for sailors for centuries, generating the obvious stories of monsters etc. which are a natural way of superstitious sailors warning each other of the potential dangers.

The seaweed covers the surface of the water so even these days motorised vessels would avoid it due to the risk of their propellers getting entwined in it.


All fairly comprehendable and logical stuff I'd say, but then again I've taken the time and effort to read up on the FACTS of it.

And as for saying that you're going to stop reading about it.. Well, what can anyone say to that??? If you can't differentiate between fantasy and fact then God help you mate. Pun intended.




I wonder what Buzzer will say when he gets home from his travels...? Put it this way, I don't think you'd get very good odds on it.

my point is i never believed any of the hype about it,i just tried to understand the chain of events post ww2 to the current days....

i never believed what we were spoon fed through the media....

so i looked (and asked all bluemooners for their views) on the events.trying to read up on the triangle i found lots of bogus sites telling all sorts of different stories seemingly taking the attention away from the point. what happened there....

was there human involvement in it.... or was it just a weather thing...i only wanted to know the bluemooners view!

My work here is done.

Sorry if it seemed like I was being sarcastic Des but stories of monsters/aliens really gets my back up. It's those stories/myths that are the real deflection from the truth.

The truth is the whole thing was pretty much fabricated by people looking to sell books who manipulated reports of missing ships to make it look like something out of the ordinary was going on when in fact the stats show that levels of ships etc going missing or sinking in the Bermuda triangle is much the same as anywhere else.

Edit: And as 1.6..... has shown the general area already had a bit of reputation due to the weirdness (although entirely natural and explainable) of the Sargossa sea.That along with the disappearance of flight 19 made it a good spot to base such rumours.

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

The incident that brought the myth of the Bermuda Triangle to the publics recognition was that of the disappearnce of Flight 19. Again though, the reality of the situation was that the flight merely got lost due to poor weather & inaccurate navigational aids. It is actually thought that although the flight flew through tis area, it actually disappeared somewhere else.

funny i watched a show on this "squadron".....they figured they were "off the keys" which look like islands off the bahamas so they turned around and got lost north of bermuda. then ,on the ground, ground control tried to use grid cross reference to radio in their co-ordinates. they had the technology for radio assistance/location but the military command had removed the equipment prior to the event.

Odds on what,Digits?

Your work is done? sorry God, i mean Digits.
Gets your back up? wow, you really need to chill out man and let yer teeth out, REALLY.<br /><br />-- Wed May 19, 2010 6:09 pm --<br /><br />

i like buzzer but i ve never typed/spoken to him on this matter,but i am interested on his view/opinion......

Eh up Dezzi', alls that i can add to your thread is this; i was talking to and old guy one time in Loughlin, Nevada, it was late and we got talking about Ufo's and all things unexplained really, anyway he got onto the Bermuda Triangle and from what i could gather(was quite intoxicated) he was talking with knowledge that a lot of the Triangles mysteries start with the Moon and earths magnet force. Something about when the moon is at a certain phase, something happens, i know its hardly a mindset of info but i may just add this; How the fook does anyone know whats really going on there? and unless i'm massively mistaken, did'nt you post originally that you was only being quizical and just wondered if anyone had any thoughts about this subject? it nearly turned into a bit of a slangin' match with certain parties AGAIN, but you held it together nicely, well done.

Also for those that keep harping on and name dropping me when anyone starts a thread regarding something that is so-called off the wall, i would'nt bother, there are lads on here that would wrap me in knots when it comes around to theories and conspiracies etc, infact i get plenny of links PMd to me regarding the above. So i am not chief REPTILLIAN LICKER you know, and for those that harp on and try and trample on the said theories etc well all i can say to you is this, how the fuk do you know what happens when you die? how the fuk do you know that we are not distant or direct cousins of an Extra Terrestrial race from many moons ago/away?
you see, you don't know do you? infact you know no more than me or the next Wacko, and that is a fact im afraid that you're gonna have to live with, until we all die, but then again, are we even alive?

For those that DO get wound up with us wackos, it really is'nt worth it you know, lifes to short, just smile and get on with it, yes input is very welcome but after all, as i said above, you know no more than the next guy as you aint tried it, yet. Please do not come out with the 'i ignore hard nosed science facts by the way, as the record is well worn.

Folks I was looking for a bit of closure on the issue, so far I just had my words twisted and was accused of being too leftfield! I never put words in people s mouth` s with any of my posts. I just wanted bluemooners views on the subject.
So far we had a few suggestion` s, there are a few weak efforts listed here too. feel free to add to the list of possibilities if you so fancy!

1. Weather
2.sargasso sea
3.sea monsters
4.U.F.O.`s
5.magnatism of the spheres
6.human involvement
7.gases from the seabed
8.atlantis
9.hype to promote books …..

So with all of this at hand I was looking for your view on the matter. Which of these hold the most weight with the rise and fall of activity in post ww2 times?

Myself, I feel more towards the natural causes or human involvement (IMO!)what would warrant a sudden halt to these activities?

1. There's nothing strange going on at all.

Some stuff on here and beyond reminds me of this Bill Hicks piece...
