Nearly
everyone knows of the Bermuda Triangle, that mysterious area in the Atlantic
where ships and planes have been disappearing without a trace. All manner of
bizarre occurrences have been reported there, from magnetic anomalies to freak
storms and waves, to the complete cessation of all electrical activity. On
almost the exact opposite side of the planet, in the Pacific Ocean off the coast
of Japan, there is a similar, though less widely known, mystery of the sea. The
Japanese call it the Ma-no Umi: the Sea of the Devil, but it is also known as
the Dragon's Triangle or Dragon Sea. The area has been designated a "Danger
Zone" by the Japanese government, and even the United States Air Force has
expressed concern over aircraft disappearances there.
... the Dragon Triangle in the Western
Pacific forms a generally triangular pattern. It follows a line from western
Japan north of Tokyo to a point in the Pacific at approximately latitude 145
degrees east. It then turns west-southwest past the Ogasawara Shinto (the Bonin
Islands) and then down to Guam and Yap, west to Taiwan and then returns
north-northeast back to Japan, near the measuring point of Nojima Zaki on the
Bay of Tokyo. - Charles Berlitz, describing the location of the Dragon's
Triangle. With his 1989 book The Dragon's Triangle, acclaimed linguist and
author Charles Berlitz seeks to present a definitive guide to the Dragon
Triangle. He begins by describing the area in general terms and noting some of
the strange phenomena found there: mysterious lights, unexplained
disappearances, sudden fogs and storms, and so forth. He makes the inevitable
comparison to the Bermuda Triangle off the coast of Florida, a theme to which he
returns throughout the book. The two areas are on opposite sides of the Earth in
both longitude and latitude, and both are located on the eastern edges of
continental shelves, where the ocean floor drops off into deep trenches where
strong currents sweep over actively volcanic areas...

In 1975 a librarian by the name of Larry Kusche published a book entitled The
Bermuda Triangle Mystery-Solved. In the book Kusche revealed that many of the

so "paranormal" after all. In many accounts, he discovered that when a writer
had noted that a ship went down in calm waters, a raging storm had caused the
ship to sink, or when other ships were reported to have mysteriously vanished,

Ocean bounded roughly at its points by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Legend has it that

mysteriously disappeared depends on who is doing the locating and the counting. The size
of the triangle varies from 500,000 square miles to three times that size, depending on
the imagination of the aut...Monsters from beneath the Bermuda Triangle
In the permanently dark waters beneath the Bermuda Triangle, scientists have uncovered a remarkably diverse range of extraordinary sea creatures. Many of the new species could shed light on the state of the world's oceans.Retrieving tiny sea animals - zooplankton - at depths of up to three miles, and even reading their genetic codes on a rolling sea, scientists carrying out a census of marine life have revealed new details about the role of these fragile creatures in the climate and food cha...Bermuda Triangle (Devil's Triangle)
