The triangle covers the area just off the coast of Florida to Puerto Rico and the island of Bermuda.
Planes and ships have disappeared there in a number of high profile cases over the years.
Scientists have so far been baffled by the disappearances, which have claimed at least 1000 lives over the past 100 years, according to reports.
But now one man has claimed to know the real reason behind the Bermuda Triangle.
Australian scientist Dr Karl Kruszelnicki has explained what he thinks really occurs over the 500,000 square kilometre area.
He blames human error for the disasters, and said to News.com.au: “According to Lloyds of London and the US coast guard, the number of planes that go missing in the Bermuda Triangle is the same as anywhere in the world on a percentage basis.
“It is close to the equator, near a wealthy part of the world, America, therefore you have a lot of traffic.”
This is disputed by other scientists, however, who have other theories for what causes accidents in the Bermuda Triangle.
Dr Steve Miller, a satellite meteorologist at Colorado State University, studied the area for a significant amount of time.
He says hexagonal clouds that create 170mph ‘wind air bombs’ are to blame.
Speaking to the Science Channel’s ‘What on Earth’ programme, he said: “You don’t typically see straight edges with clouds. Most of the time, clouds are random in their distribution.”
Dr Steve and his team used radar satellites to measure the winds at sea level under these clouds, and that was when they found them to reach speeds of up to 170mph. With wind speeds like these, 45ft waves are possible (that’s quite a tempest), which is enough to drag a boat under.
