The mystery around Bermuda Triangle seems to have got a new assumption attached to it. According to the new theory, clouds over the Bermuda Triangle are like ¡°air bombs¡± strong enough to cause ship and plane wrecks. The strange ¡°hexagonal¡± shaped clouds were discovered using radar satellite imagery, which were between 20 and 50 miles wide forming over the water. The research was revealed by a Science Channel¡¯s, ¡°What on Earth¡± series.
¡°These types of hexagonal shapes in the ocean are in essence air bombs. They¡¯re formed by what is called microbursts and they¡¯re blasts of air.¡±
The Bermuda Triangle is one of the most enigmatic places on Earth, and perhaps, even one of the most feared. Legend has it, as you must already know, those who enter never return. The mystery though may have finally been solved according to scientists who say strange clouds forming over Bermuda Triangle is the reason behind years of apparent disappearances dating back to the 1400s.

Some people on social media though weren¡¯t wholly convinced with this finding:
On Facebook, Juliett Evildruid wrote, ¡°One problem with this theory is, where is the debris? If the planes and ships were hit with "air bombs", there would still be wreckage, but they are not finding any wreckage from these missing crafts. This is just another one of the odd weather phenomenon that are known to occur there. And just like with the freak storms, waterspouts and rogue waves common to the area that could be responsible for downing aircraft and sinking ships, there would be pieces of these vessels, and there is no trace of them. So "air bombs" can¡¯t possibly be the answer here anymore.¡±

And Sarah Fuller wrote ¡°Still doesn't explain why nothing is ever found. No debris. No trace. All the weird things that happen, time that goes missing, equipment that malfunctions, and most of all how a ship can be found floating perfectly intact with no people on board.¡±
While others said this explanation was rudimentary:

The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle has been going on for centuries and one of the spookiest stories is of Ellen Austin¡¯s. She was on a ship going to New York in 1881. The crew on board this voyage saw an empty sail ahead and transferred some of its members on that ship to sail it to NY with them. Reportedly, the other ship suddenly disappeared, reappearing shortly after though without a single soul on board. Ellen Austin apparently turned around for London after seeing that.
Update:
Meanwhile, in yet another twist in the Bermuda tail, the scientist who was said to have revealed the findings, said that he did not say that Bermuda Triangle mystery has been solved. According to him, his point was misrepresented due to the wrong editing of the original interview that re recorded.
The "What's On Earth" series mis-quoted Randall Cerveny, director of the meteorology department at Arizona State University, who says he was shocked when he saw the video.
"The editing [of the show] on this was horrendous,¡± Cerveny told The Washington Post.?¡°I was really upset when I saw this.¡±
The "air bombs" Cerveny was talking about were actually just to explain microbursts, which can cause substantial damage and sink shapes and planes in the Bermuda Triangle, but they do not explain or solve the apparent mystery.?
