Lake Michigan’s Bermuda Triangle: Shipwrecks, UFOs, and More

You've probably heard of the "Bermuda Triangle"

A roughly 500,000 square mile area inside the Atlantic ocean that runs between Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico where many unexplained things have happened involving boats and airplanes disappearing and never being seen or heard from again.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) there are several theories about why these strange disappearances happen.

Some believe that it's an unexplained force possibly from another dimension.

While others believe it can be explained by science.

Most tropical storms and hurricanes that happen in the Atlantic ocean come through the Bermuda triangle.

Back in the day technology wasn't as sophisticated as it is now which might have caused ships and planes to be lost if they ran into those strong storms.

Michigan has a similar Bermuda triangle that has been known to have many shipwrecks, plane crashes, disappearances along with reports of Unidentified flying objects (UFOs.) and unidentified submerged objects (USOs.)

Where Is The Lake Michigan Triangle?

The Lake Michigan triangle goes from Ludington to Manitowoc, down to Benton Harbor, and back to Ludington.

Just like the Bermuda triangle there are some people that believe something strange and unknown is causing these things to happen.

While there are some that try to explain it from a scientific perspective saying that wind waves could be to blame, the shape of Lake Michigan could allow for dangerous currents along with strong wind to take down a ship.

There is also the possibility of the disappearances being due to  magnetic anomalies caused by magnetic declination and magnetic deviation.

This is the difference between true north and magnetic north, which can be different depending on location.

Lake Michigan deviates four to five degrees westward on average, which could possibly cause problems for an inexperienced sailor or pilot.

I hope that with both the Bermuda Triangle and the Lake Michigan triangle the strange things happening have nothing to do with a weird magnet field or UFO's and instead can be blamed on extreme weather that should be visible on radar giving planes and ships a heads up to try and navigate around it.
