I Like The Alien Abduction And Interdimensional Travel Story Better

From vanishing aircraft to sinister ghost ships, the Bermuda Triangle is the location of some of the planet’s strangest phenomena.

Now, a scientist claims to have finally solved the mystery.

Located between Florida, Puerto Rico and Bermuda, the Bermuda Triangle’s long history of deadly wrecks has prompted endless supernatural speculation.

However, Dr Simon Boxall, an oceanographer from the University of Southampton, says that the real explanation doesn’t involve UFOs or interdimensional portals.

Instead, Dr Boxall says that the Bermuda Triangle’s record of disappearances is due to ‘rogue waves’.

Otherwise known as extreme storm waves, these are unpredictable walls of water that can reach twice the height of the surrounding waves.

Towering up to 100 feet (30 metres) in the air, rogue waves are abnormally steep and can hit unexpectedly from directions other than the prevailing wind.

According to Dr Boxall, a large ship trapped by one of these killer swells could ‘sink in a matter of two or three minutes’.
