Scientists claim they’ve finally solved the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle with shocking theory

The Bermuda Triangle has intrigued individuals for years, with numerous conspiracy theories and frightening tales keeping them alert.

After many years, a scientist asserts that they have at last unraveled the mystery of the area.

The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the Atlantic Ocean where numerous ships and aircraft have vanished under puzzling conditions.

Enthusiasts of the TV series Lost have long believed it drew inspiration from the region. While some of these incidents are surrounded by unexplained circumstances, numerous ships, vessels, and planes travel through and over the area daily without any problems.

In March of that year, the ship was en route from Salvador, Brazil, to Baltimore when it vanished without a trace.

The large coal-carrying vessel did not even send out a distress signal, and the 542-foot long ship was never seen again, along with its 306 crew members.

Later, in 1945, five US Navy planes disappeared over the same area during a training mission.

Over the years, many eerie theories have emerged, but Dr. Simon Boxall, an oceanographer from the University of Southampton, believes none of them hold true.

He claims to have finally solved the mystery of these disappearances, and unfortunately, it’s not as spooky as one might think.

Dr. Boxall attributes the disappearances to 'rogue waves' rather than aliens or monsters.

He explained that these waves can soar up to an astonishing 100 feet (30 meters) in height and can strike from unexpected directions.

According to Dr. Boxall, any ship hit by one of these massive waves could 'sink in a matter of two or three minutes'.

Channel 5 has a documentary series titled The Bermuda Triangle Enigma.

In the series, Dr. Boxall suggests that the Triangle is susceptible to dangerous rogue waves due to a perfect combination of conditions.

He explained: "There are storms from the south and north that converge. If additional storms come from Florida, it can create a potentially deadly formation of rogue waves."

Dr. Boxall built a scale model of the mysterious USS Cyclops to simulate what might have occurred if it had been hit by one of these massive waves.

He stated that it is entirely possible for a ship of this size to split in two if struck by such a large wave.

He also mentioned that the absence of a distress signal indicates they were quickly overwhelmed.

Not everyone believes the Bermuda Triangle is truly unusual.

The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) states: "There is no evidence that mysterious disappearances occur more frequently in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, well-traveled area of the ocean."

However, NOAA supports Dr. Boxall's claims, suggesting natural causes: "Environmental factors could explain many, if not most, of the disappearances.

"The numerous islands in the Caribbean Sea create many shallow water areas that can be dangerous for ship navigation."
