Facts & Theory behind Mysterious Bermuda Triangle

Here is some  information about the mysterious Bermuda Triangle.

The first records of the Bermuda Triangle were found in the log books of Christopher Columbus(yeah, the same Columbus who discovered America! )

Some interesting facts about Bermuda Triangle:
-The Bermuda Triangle is not actually a triangle. It doesn't even have a definite shape because it never has had a official boundary.
-The U.S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle as an official name and does not maintain an official file on the area.
-The Bermuda Triangle is considered responsible for missing of more than 66 planes and ships.
The Bermuda Triangle has not sucked in all the ships and planes that come near it or over it only a few of them.

So what's the explanation for all these?

In the region of Bermuda Triangle, the high pressure of ocean water decomposes organic materials and methane gas is a major byproduct of this decomposition. This methane gas gets collected up and rises up to the surface (coz methane is lighter than water) in large quantities like big bubbles. When they reach the surface, if any vessel is present on the water surface they will feel a downward lurch (coz the sea water will now not be able to retain buoyancy like before). Depending on how big the bubble size is, the ship will fall down below the normal level by 1 or 2 meters and then again rise up. Sometimes the ship descend so deep that water spills on its deck and sinks the ship.

And this gas when reaches the atmosphere and rises up, it causes engine failure to planes passing by.

Ellen Austin was also a real ship. And her encounter with an unnamed deserted vessel in 1881 in the Triangle is based on reliable witnesses.

Cotopaxi: Storm warnings had already been hauled down before she sent her last enigmatic message. She vanished without trace on December 1, 1925.

Anglo Australian: Signaled “all well” before she vanished in 1938. Captain Parslow was in command of 34 men.
