The topic is fascinating for me. I have always felt our ocean is big mystery. much more mystery than space. It’s right here besides us but we can’t get to it. It either crushes us at the bottom of Mirianas Trench, or just send us only God knows where like Bermuda ‘friendly’ triangle. This mystery got to be solved for once and for all. Let’s do it! :)

this topic was very famous in my youth ..we were discussing it with friends..ı never believed that Aliens or Monsters did it ..many people were thinking ,there are unseen and unknown hands there..ı was believing ,its reason was Nature..strong magnetic field in this triangle..hence,planes and ships were losing there..but it was interesting that there was no any print from these lost planes and ships for years after accidents..
