Some meteorologists from American universities affirm that in the Triangle area there are hexagonal clouds that cause strange combustion of air. This phenomenon triggers cyclones that engulf airplanes and large waves that end up sinking boats.

According to theory Strange magnetic forces intervene from the vile vortices in the Triangle area, causing serious mechanical damage to airplanes and ships.

Some researchers consider that in this triangular area there could be an alteration of space-time that ends up causing the strange disappearances.

According to the theory of electronic fog, air and maritime navigation instruments stop working due to the effect of a thick fog and this circumstance causes the accidents.

Methane hydrates are found in marine sediments and these rise to the surface generating a gas explosion that affects aircraft and ship engines.
