The Bermuda Triangle The Conspiracy By Damon Scott II
Ever since the Columbus incident,when Columbus went to explore in 1492,his compass wasn’t working and now he started to panic because he didn’t know where he was, then his crew panicked and somehow ended up back where they were. Edward Van Winkle, claims that strange things are happening, but Larry Kusche thinks a lot different.
Edward Van Winkle claims that pirates control the Bermuda Triangle waters or Atlantis’s energy floor from the city is pulling things down, or has something to do with the 1945… 7 plane crash. Also claims that Christopher Columbus has experienced that.
“Edward Van Winkle Jones published his article in the ‘Miami Herald’ about and alleged the unusual disappearances

After that, there was no end to the discussion and books started publishing and flooding the market.” “Then the discussion moved from the print media to the video world and documentaries and films were made. The most famous work on this place was done by Lawrence David Kusche, who was a librarian and wrote a book entitled: ‘The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved’. He argued that the claims of other writers are unnecessarily exaggerated, and cannot be verified.”
Larry Kusche argues that none of the events can be proven and most of the things that happen were greatly exaggerated. Also the number of planes that have sunk there have sunk from natural causes. They were not from the Bermuda triangle.
“The Bermuda Triangle mystery has a much simpler explanation: sloppy research and sensational, mystery-mongering books.” “He gave no information as to what were the laws of chance, but it sounded scientific, as if the matter had been thoroughly studied.”
What Larry is saying is that everyone who says the Bermuda triangle is the “scariest place on earth” is sadly mistaken and none of their sources and info are credible. Sources cannot prove that

He has written many books including a cookbook. He was also a flight instructor and librarian and is currently 75 years old. He was born in 1940 “Lawrence David 'Larry' Kusche is an American author and pilot. He had been a commercial pilot, flight instructor, instrument-rated pilot, instrument instructor and librarian.” “The man who solved the Bermuda Triangle “mystery” looks back after four decades on his investigations into the missing flight that started it all and the shoddy research, gullibility, and distortions that created this mystery.”
Larry is saying that the whole Bermuda triangle mystery is just poor research and delusions of people. No one has actually look this whole thing through which caused poor research. Someone just started a theory/mystery that’s probably not true.
“Basically that a lot of authors are a) lazy or b) dishonest. Some cases (two or three) seems to be entirely imaginary – simply made up. None of them are very interesting or significant though. A few of the vessels listed as missing in much Bermuda Triangle lore were actually found, safe and well, with crews intact – they were just delayed, out of radio contact, or rather prematurely reported missing in one case by a slightly over anxious

    The Bermuda Triangle: Pseudoscience? Coined by philosopher, Karl Popper, ‘Pseudoscience’ is a term that is prevelant and used to describe theories or even fields of study that appear scientific but are not authentically so. Much like scientific claims or theories, pseudoscientific ideas also stem from curiosity of the humankind. They tend to use seemingly scientific jargon to rationalize concepts but are often scarcely refutable and are devoid of experimentation and evidence. This essay aims to bring out the flaws in pseudoscientific claims through the example of the Bermuda Triangle and demonstrate how and why this concept is not scientific. For many years together, the mysterious disappearance of ships, planes and even two nuclear submarines in and over the region popularly called the Bermuda Triangle (or the Devil’s Triangle) has fiddled with human curiosity and compelled our race to make repeated attempts at unravelling this mystery.…

    Area 51 is, by far, one of the most secretive places in the world, but what could it be that the government wants to hide? The idea of the government keeping information away from the public isn’t exactly far-fetched, but to dedicate an entire facility to it is somewhat unsettling. Some of what has been created here has been revealed to the public, such as the U-2 Spy Plane. The Area is notorious for having many conspiracies against it, but what catalyzed that was the infamous “Roswell Incident”. The Roswell Incident happened in early July, 1947.…

    In late August, SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Life Institute) revealed news of a peculiar signal found 94 light years away from Earth. SETI had hoped that this would be a crucial piece of evidence that revealed the presence of extraterrestrial life. However, only a few weeks after the initial announcement, the signal was debunked to be no more than an interference from a military satellite. While many scientists were disappointed by the news, it perhaps was the most favorable outcome of the situation. A prominent physicist, Stephen Hawking, theorized that with any interaction between Earth and extraterrestrial life, “…the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn 't turn out very well for the American Indians.”…
