18、lantic Ocean,nearFlorida in the USA,where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappearedmysteriously.The earliest suggestion of unusual disappearances in the Bermuda areaappeared in a September 17,1950 article.Two years later,Fatemagazine published“SeaMystery at Our Back Door”,covering

19、the loss of several planes and ships,including the loss ofFlight 19.Flight 19 alone would be covered again in the April 1962 issue of American Legionmagazine.In it,author Allan W.Eckert wrote that the flight leader had been heard saying,“Weare entering white water.Nothing seems right.We dont know wh

20、ere we are.”In the February1964,the article“The Deadly Bermuda Triangle”argued that Flight 19 and otherdisappearances were just part of strange events in the area.Triangle writers have used a number of supernatural ideas to explain theevents.One explanation refers to leftover technology from the mys
