There are many different stories about disappearances of ships and airplanes in the Bermuda Triangle. Some of these date as far back as the 1800’s. Many of these stories are considered to be mysteries and some have truth behind them. Today we will be looking at a few different stories. It is up to you what you believe,  are these stories fact or fiction?  

One disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle was on December 5, 1945. Flight 19 departed from the U.S. Naval Base in Florida for a training session, but never returned. There were five U.S bomber planes that took part. After losing contact with this crew a rescue team was sent out to search for them. All 14 airmen on the flight were lost, as were all 13 crew members of a flying boat that also launched from Naval Air Station Banana River to search for Flight 19. Navy investigators could not determine the exact cause of the loss of Flight 19. The remains of the planes have never been found.

On December 22, 1967, a cabin cruiser named witchcraft left Miami. After reaching just one mile offshore, the coast guard received a call saying that the ship had hit something but there was no damage. They indicated they needed to be towed back to shore. It took coast guards 19 minutes to reach the location. When they got there the areThe disappearance of USS Cyclops is one of the Navy’s biggest loss of lives in a single incident. In March 1918, this massive ship set out to sail from Brazil to Baltimore through the Bermuda region with about 309 crew members on board. Setting off on a fairly good day, the first and the only message sent by this ship indicated no sort of troubles. However, the ship was never heard from again…..


a was completely empty with no signs of any ship having been in the area. The witchcraft was considered to be unsinkable. The coast guard officials searched hundreds of square miles of ocean over the next few days but were unsuccessful. Nothing of this ship has been found until this day. 

An entire search of the area was put into action but nothing was ever found. No remains of the ship or any crew members aboard have ever been found. The captain of USS Cyclops never sent a distress signal and no one aboard responded to radio calls from other vessels in the vicinity. The naval investigators also failed to find a definite cause for its disappearance though there were a number of theories suggesting various reasons. Due to its mysterious disappearance, Cyclops has become part of the list of more than 100 ships and planes to have vanished under strange circumstances in the Bermuda triangle.
