  • The bermuda triangle is certainly not fixed and its effect can be experienced outside of the triangle too. 
  • The disappearances are ascribed to UFO's and alien activity, city of Atlantis lost under the triangle, and various other technical, natural and geographical reasons. 
  • Whenever any plane or ship disappears in the Triangle, its debris cannot be found. The reason behind this is that Gulf Stream runs near the triangle, which quickly gets rid of the debris.
  • At least 1000 lives are lost within the last 100 years. On average, 4 aircraft and 20 yachts go missing every year. 
  • Inside the Bermuda Triangle, US Government has AUTEC (for Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center), which is located on the Andros Island of Bahamas. Here US Navy tests their submarines, sonar and other weapons. However many are of the view that it is more than just the testing center. 
  • People have experienced electronic fog in bermuda triangle, which can be a Time Travel Tunnel too. Pilot Bruce Gernon claims he lost 28 minutes after flying through a time-warping cloud tunnel. The plane went missing from radars, only to re-emerge in Miami Beach.
  • One of the biggest and famous losses of US Military occurred in 1945. Five US Navy Avenger torpedo bombers flew from Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a sortie to the island of Bimini. The mission had 14 men. After about 90 minutes, the radio operators received a signal that the compass was not working. After that the communication was lost. The bombers were never found. The three planes that went for their rescue also disappeared. 
  • The first person to report about Bermuda Triangle was Christopher Columbus. He wrote in his journals that inside the triangle, the ship's compass stopped working and he also saw a fireball in the sky.
  • Bermuda Triangle is one of the rare places on earth where the compass does not point towards Magnetic North. Instead of that, it point towards true north, which creates confusion and that's why so many ships and planes lost its course in the triangle.
Bermuda Triangle History
The mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle have been documented for centuries, the Bermuda Triangle's infamy first started with Christopher Columbus. He wrote in his journals that inside this area, the watercraft 's compass stopped working and he saw a fireball in the sky too. According to Columbus, when he looked down at his compass and observed that his compass was giving strange readings that day was October 8, 1492. He didn't take it seriously and a he did not inform his crew too, because having a compass that didn't point to magnetic north may have sent the exactly on border crew into the wildly unthinking behavior. This decision was apparently an ideal decision considering three days after when Columbus directly spotted a mysterious light, the crew got alarmed to go back to Spain.

 Myths about Bermuda Triangle 
In the last hundred years, approx thousand lives are lost. On an average, 20 yachts and 4 planes go missing every year. And there is no evidence of disappearance.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system made up of at least 24 satellites. GPS works in any weather conditions, anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, with no subscription fees or setup charges. The U.S. Department of Defense (USDOD) originally put the satellites into orbit for military use, but they were made available for civilian use in the 1980s. GPS or Global Positioning System is a network of orbiting satellites that send precise details of their position in space back to earth. The signals are obtained by GPS receivers, such as navigation devices and are used to calculate the exact position, speed and time at the vehicles location. GPS is well-known for its military uses and was first developed by the US to aid in its global intelligence efforts at the height of the Cold War. Ever since the early 1980s, however, the GPS has been freely available to anyone with a GPS receiver. Airlines, shipping companies, trucking firms, and drivers

Zombies (Bot and Botnets)

-
Bot  : A ‘bot’ is a type of malicious code that allows an attacker to take complete control over the affected computer – turning the computer into a “robot” that the criminal can remotely control. Once infected, these machines may also be referred to as ‘zombies’. While taking over one computer is useful, the real value comes from collecting huge numbers of computers and networking these so they can all be controlled at once (a botnet). There are between 100-150 million computers worldwide (out of 600 million PCs on the Internet) infected with bots and under the control of hackers. Botnet : A botnet is a group of computers connected in a coordinated fashion for malicious purposes. Each computer in a botnet is called a bot. These bots form a network of compromised computers, which is controlled by a third party and used to transmit malware or spam, or to launch attacks. A botnet may also be known as a zombie army . Originally, botnets were created as a tool
