A Long Lost Conspiracy: Theories behind the Bermuda Triangle

As a child, stories behind the mysterious disappearance of air crafts and ships in a region of ocean referred as the Bermuda Triangle always intrigued me.  The inexplicable nature of disappearances have led many to wonder what happened to all the missing pilots and vehicles.

Many people believe that there are supernatural powers behind these debacles (I as a child was one of them), but if you don't believe in such powers, the skepticism leads you to many questions.

Is there a conspiracy behind the Bermuda Triangle?

Throwing out aliens and anomalies, many conspiracy theorists feel that this could be experimenting with magnetic fields.  Many travelers of this area have noted errors in compass tracking throwing off travel paths, which could account for disappearance of airplanes as getting lost and sunk by these magnetic forces.

But what evidence is behind this magnetic force and the disappearances?

Nikola Tesla was an innovator of his time, specializing in magnets and high frequency energies in the 1900s.  His life's work has led to many useful inventions, some that have been withheld from the public, such as HAARP.

HAARP is a High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program that researches the effect of energy transmissions into the atmosphere, and learning how to control the weather.

The HAARP is a military based research project, and being developed under this department of research, one can only assume it's intent is to control the weather as a weapon.

The patent for this invention reads...

Thus, this invention provides the ability to put unprecedented amounts of power in the Earth's atmosphere at strategic locations and to maintain the power injection level particularly if random pulsing is employed, in a manner far more precise and better controlled than heretofore accomplished by the prior art, particularly by detonation of nuclear devices of various yields at various altitudes.

And many recent natural disasters that have devastated regions of the world have pointed towards this project as the culprit behind these catastrophes, such as the earthquake in Haiti, Hurricane Katrina, the tsunami that hit Japan, and even the recent super storm Hurricane Sandy.

The rational behind these disasters is that nature and global warming are causing these types of disasters to occur.  But the simple fact that HAARP exists brings many conspiracy theorists to call into question the convenience of blaming mother nature.

The Bermuda Triangle and it's lore has been around since the time of Tesla and his research.  Could it be that governments have experimented with such research since the early 1900s?

Obviously any research project is going to need experimenting, blaming compass malfunctions and mysterious disappearances on a mythical region known as the Bermuda Triangle was the convenient solution.  Using nature as the scape-goat is just more imaginative convenience.
