Experts Claims to Have Solved Bermuda Triangle Mystery

The Bermuda Triangle mystery may be solved by submerged rocks.
Scientist Nick Hutchings believes the rocks could have interfered with compasses, causing ships to get lost.
Hutchings conducted an experiment with rocks and a compass to demonstrate his theory.

For years, scientists have been perplexed by a puzzling enigma: the series of disappearances within the Bermuda Triangle.

Now, a scientist is putting forth a potential solution to this mystery.

Situated in the North Atlantic Ocean close to Bermuda, the Bermuda Triangle has seen numerous ships vanish without a trace.

Theories about the cause of these disappearances range from the existence of a concealed whirlpool to extraterrestrial involvement.

However, a specialist in the field proposes a different explanation, suggesting that the key to unraveling the mystery might lie in submerged rocks.

Speaking in a Channel 5 documentary, Secrets of the Bermuda Triangle, Nick Hutchings, a mineral prospector, explained: “Bermuda’s basically a sea mountain – it’s an underwater volcano. 30 million years ago, it was sticking up above sea level. It has now eroded away and we’re left with the top of a volcano. We have a few core samples, which have magnetite in them. It’s the most magnetic naturally occurring material on Earth.”

During the program, Mr. Hutchings proceeded to conduct an experiment involving rocks and a compass.

As he positioned the rock on a level surface and glided the compass above it, the needle’s behavior became erratic. This phenomenon arises from the magnetite content present in the rocks.

Mr Hutchings added: “You can just imagine the ancient mariners sailing past Bermuda. It would be very disconcerting.”
