Rogue waves and the Bermuda Triangle mystery

Sometimes science is a let down

An oceanographer from England says he’s cracked the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. He says all the shipwrecks, missing planes, spooky sightings going back five hundred years aren’t paranormal, it’s waves.

Rogue waves. Towering walls of water a hundred feet high, strong enough to snap ships in half. And maybe even pull planes out of the sky

Now, I’ll admit—that’s fascinating. But it’s also kind of a letdown. For decades, I imagined aliens, sea monsters, and magnetic portals.
Instead? Just big waves.
Weird, sure. Dangerous, absolutely.
But not exactly X-Files material.
