Narrator:
Over the centuries,
2
00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:04,900
Hundreds of ships
And dozens of aircraft
3
00:00:04,900 --> 00:00:07,900
Have gone missing in
A mysterious stretch of water.
4
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:11,100
One minute they are there,
The next they vanish.
5
00:00:11,100 --> 00:00:13,033
They have one thing
In common.
6
00:00:13,033 --> 00:00:16,267
They dared to enter
The bermuda triangle.
7
00:00:16,267 --> 00:00:19,867
There's portals,
There's underground vortices,
8
00:00:19,867 --> 00:00:23,800
Advanced technologies,
Secret naval bases.
9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,333
These are just some
Of the many explanations.
10
00:00:28,333 --> 00:00:31,100
Picknett: it's possible that
The presence of the military
11
00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:34,133
In the area
Of the bermuda triangle
12
00:00:34,133 --> 00:00:36,767
Is actually attracting ufos.
13
00:00:40,833 --> 00:00:44,367
You've heard of ufos,
But there are also usos --
14
00:00:44,367 --> 00:00:47,233
Unidentified
Submersible objects.
15
00:00:47,233 --> 00:00:48,500
Felix:
Of course there are aliens.
16
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:51,533
Of course, there a ufos.
There's something out there.

Narrator: the bermuda triangle
Has both struck fear
21
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:24,733
And captivated the imagination
Of people around the world.
22
00:01:24,733 --> 00:01:26,567
Yet no one can explain it.
23
00:01:26,567 --> 00:01:29,267
Commercial, private,
And military craft
24
00:01:29,267 --> 00:01:33,100
All have fallen victim
To this most mysterious region.
25
00:01:33,100 --> 00:01:36,533
Picknett:
The bermuda triangle
Literally is an area of water
26
00:01:36,533 --> 00:01:39,833
In north atlantic
Defined in triangular shape
27
00:01:39,833 --> 00:01:43,533
By puerto rico,
Bermuda, and miami.
28
00:01:43,533 --> 00:01:46,133
It's believed over the course
Of many years
29
00:01:46,133 --> 00:01:47,833
That over 75 planes
30
00:01:47,833 --> 00:01:50,400
Have disappeared
Mysteriously in that area
31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,933
And hundreds of ships have
Just gone without any trace.
32
00:01:54,933 --> 00:01:57,633
Although we've only given
The bermuda triangle a name
33
00:01:57,633 --> 00:01:59,800
In the last 50 years,
34
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,133
It's been wreaking havoc
On sailors
35
00:02:03,133 --> 00:02:06,433
For hundreds of years
Before now.
36
00:02:06,433 --> 00:02:08,967
Walters:
The kind of romantic story,
The bermuda triangle,
37
00:02:08,967 --> 00:02:11,067
That might be the part
Of the planet
38
00:02:11,067 --> 00:02:13,133
Where seriously strange
Things happen.
39
00:02:13,133 --> 00:02:15,333
And once you go
In there you can never get out.
40
00:02:15,333 --> 00:02:18,900
And it's very dangerous because
You may disappear forever down
41
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:21,067
Some time warp
Into another dimension.
42
00:02:21,067 --> 00:02:23,233
Mcmahon:
There's certainly been some
Very high-profile
43
00:02:23,233 --> 00:02:25,067
And unusual disasters
44
00:02:25,067 --> 00:02:28,133
And disappearances
Within the bermuda triangle.
45
00:02:28,133 --> 00:02:30,900
Whether or not
It's disproportionately high --
46
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:32,667
A lot of people, for example,
47
00:02:32,667 --> 00:02:36,100
The coast guard services
Say it's not true,
48
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:39,067
But there's a widespread belief
That it is true.

*
50
00:02:44,633 --> 00:02:48,667
Narrator:
Arguably, the most famous
Disappearance occurred in 1945
51
00:02:48,667 --> 00:02:52,100
When five u.S. Bombers
And a rescue plane disappeared
52
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:55,267
While on a training flight
In the bermuda triangle.
53
00:02:55,267 --> 00:02:58,300
Mcmahon:
The most intriguing story
Involving the bermuda triangle
54
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:04,067
Is the flight 19 mission
Five avenger torpedo bombers
55
00:03:04,067 --> 00:03:05,967
That all fly out together
56
00:03:05,967 --> 00:03:09,067
On what was a routine
Training mission.
57
00:03:09,067 --> 00:03:10,367
And at some point,
58
00:03:10,367 --> 00:03:12,167
They seemed to become
Totally disoriented.
59
00:03:12,167 --> 00:03:16,367
Their last messages back to base
Showed that they had no idea
60
00:03:16,367 --> 00:03:19,767
Where they were going, their
Instruments have gone haywire,
61
00:03:19,767 --> 00:03:22,500
And they simply didn't know
If they could get back.
62
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:24,067
They were also
Running out of fuel
63
00:03:24,067 --> 00:03:27,333
Because they'd been out
Far longer than they expected.
64
00:03:27,333 --> 00:03:29,267
At some point, contact was lost.
65
00:03:29,267 --> 00:03:32,800
All five planes,
All 14 personnel,
66
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,100
Wiped out disappeared.
67
00:03:39,167 --> 00:03:42,100
Felix:
A search party was sent out
To find the five planes
68
00:03:42,100 --> 00:03:43,633
Or at least look for
The wreckage.
69
00:03:43,633 --> 00:03:48,733
And a flying boat was sent out
With 30 members of crew onboard.
70
00:03:48,733 --> 00:03:52,467
That was never heard of again.
It vanished.
71
00:03:52,467 --> 00:03:56,633
Nickell:
We can imagine that there's
Some mysterious vortex,
72
00:03:56,633 --> 00:03:59,533
Some other dimension,
73
00:03:59,533 --> 00:04:03,867
Some phenomenon called
An electronic fall.
74
00:04:03,867 --> 00:04:08,133
But in fact,
This was a training mission.
75
00:04:08,133 --> 00:04:13,100
These were rookies out on there
On their flight
76
00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:14,567
With with a commander.
77
00:04:14,567 --> 00:04:19,133
But he got disoriented
And they flew
78
00:04:19,133 --> 00:04:20,867
And flew in a wrong direction
79
00:04:20,867 --> 00:04:23,833
Until they ran out of gas
And all of them went down.
80
00:04:26,733 --> 00:04:30,667
We were more confident about the
Search plane that went out
81
00:04:30,667 --> 00:04:32,767
And also vanished.
82
00:04:32,767 --> 00:04:38,533
That make of plane was nicknamed
The flying gas tank
83
00:04:38,533 --> 00:04:41,567
And had a history of blowing up.
84
00:04:41,567 --> 00:04:46,833
And it appears that this was
An untimely accident
85
00:04:46,833 --> 00:04:49,067
At that point.
86
00:04:49,067 --> 00:04:52,900
Mcmahon:
The official explanation was
Human error, tragic human error,
87
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:57,433
That the fuel ran out and they
Simply ditched and were killed.
88
00:04:57,433 --> 00:04:59,200
The unofficial explanation
89
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,933
Is that something very strange
Happened to lead
90
00:05:01,933 --> 00:05:06,633
To five aircraft
Disappearing simultaneously.
91
00:05:06,633 --> 00:05:08,767
Narrator:
But can the disappearance
Of flight 19
92
00:05:08,767 --> 00:05:11,633
Really be attributed
Just to pilot error?
93
00:05:11,633 --> 00:05:15,100
In 1995,
Civilian pilot cary gordon
94
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:18,267
Had a truly terrifying
Experience while airborne
95
00:05:18,267 --> 00:05:21,633
And close to the original flight
Path of the doomed mission.
96
00:05:21,633 --> 00:05:24,333
Her account echoes
Some of the strange anomalies
97
00:05:24,333 --> 00:05:27,267
The pilots reported over their
Radios just minutes
98
00:05:27,267 --> 00:05:28,967
Before they vanished.
99
00:05:28,967 --> 00:05:31,467
Gordon-trantham: [ over radio ]
It was actually a day
Just like today.
100
00:05:31,467 --> 00:05:33,233
Beautiful day.
I was --
101
00:05:33,233 --> 00:05:35,500
And I can actually see
The everglades and the area
102
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:37,333
That I know exactly
Where it happened.
103
00:05:37,333 --> 00:05:40,167
I know exactly
Where it happened.
104
00:05:40,167 --> 00:05:42,100
Getting a little nervous here.
[ chuckles ]
105
00:05:42,100 --> 00:05:46,567
It's little scary
Going over it again.
106
00:05:46,567 --> 00:05:52,133
Everything was going great.
It wasn't a smooth flight.
107
00:05:52,133 --> 00:05:53,233
It was a little bumpy.
108
00:05:53,233 --> 00:05:56,067
I was flying
Along the everglades,
109
00:05:56,067 --> 00:05:58,633
I could see miami
Lights coming on.
110
00:05:58,633 --> 00:06:00,167
And then all of a sudden it was
111
00:06:00,167 --> 00:06:03,933
Like somebody threw a blanket
Over my airplane.
112
00:06:03,933 --> 00:06:06,300
My instruments were
Going crazy
113
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:10,300
With my airplane indicator.
I was showing me upside down
114
00:06:10,300 --> 00:06:12,900
And I wasn't really sure
If I was upside down,
115
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:18,067
Right side up how far
I had drifted east or west.
116
00:06:18,067 --> 00:06:19,667
I was totally in the black.
117
00:06:19,667 --> 00:06:21,333
And people said,
"Well, what do you see?"
118
00:06:21,333 --> 00:06:23,700
I didn't see anything.
It was black.
119
00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:26,500
And I was, I was so, so scared
120
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:30,533
And and, you know,
I didn't have engine problems.
121
00:06:30,533 --> 00:06:35,467
I didn't have --
It was just like something.
122
00:06:35,467 --> 00:06:37,467
And it's hard to explain.
123
00:06:41,567 --> 00:06:44,900
So, when I finally did
Get control of the airplane,
124
00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:47,667
I tried to get radio contact
Because I had lost radio contact
125
00:06:47,667 --> 00:06:50,600
And nobody was responding.
126
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,867
Finally, I saw
The marathon lights
127
00:06:52,867 --> 00:06:56,400
And I was able to make it
To the airport.
128
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,367
When I landed, I actually had
To pry my hands off the yoke
129
00:07:00,367 --> 00:07:02,400
Because I was just frozen.
130
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,900
I was still in a state
Of shock.
131
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:05,667
And I couldn't hardly walk
132
00:07:05,667 --> 00:07:09,200
When I climbed out of
The airplane.
133
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,367
Very scary.
Like something like that.
134
00:07:11,367 --> 00:07:13,133
You just don't get over.
135
00:07:15,833 --> 00:07:18,233
This could well be,
For all we know,
136
00:07:18,233 --> 00:07:22,867
A portal to another dimension
That these aircraft,
137
00:07:22,867 --> 00:07:25,067
These huge ships -- it doesn't
Matter how big they are --
138
00:07:25,067 --> 00:07:27,267
All of a sudden,
For some reason,
139
00:07:27,267 --> 00:07:30,733
Disappear
Into another dimension.
140
00:07:30,733 --> 00:07:33,433
Are they still out there
In that dimension?
141
00:07:33,433 --> 00:07:35,567
Will they come back one day?
142
00:07:35,567 --> 00:07:38,833
I don't know.
143
00:07:38,833 --> 00:07:42,067
Our sciences are young, yet
There's so much we don't know.
144
00:07:42,067 --> 00:07:47,133
And, you know, quantum physics
Has opened up a few doors
145
00:07:47,133 --> 00:07:49,067
And who knows?
146
00:07:49,067 --> 00:07:50,733
A parallel universe?
147
00:07:52,833 --> 00:07:55,533
You know?
148
00:07:55,533 --> 00:07:58,833
A tunnel, you know,
To a parallel universe.
149
00:07:58,833 --> 00:08:01,167
These people went someplace.
Where?
150
00:08:01,167 --> 00:08:06,467
You know, I'm just thankful
To whomever that I'm still here.
151
00:08:08,733 --> 00:08:11,400
Narrator: hugh willoughby is
A professor of meteorology
152
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,667
At florida
International university.
153
00:08:13,667 --> 00:08:16,267
He lectures on the dangers
Of extreme weather,
154
00:08:16,267 --> 00:08:19,100
And he's certain
That what happened to flight 19
155
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:21,200
And cary gordon
Can be attributed
156
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,467
To one simple reason --
Atmospheric conditions.
157
00:08:25,467 --> 00:08:28,967
Interpretation of cary
Gordon's experience
158
00:08:28,967 --> 00:08:31,933
Could be cast in terms of
Meteorology over the everglades.
159
00:08:31,933 --> 00:08:34,100
You have turbulence.
160
00:08:34,100 --> 00:08:36,833
You get almost
Invisible precipitation
161
00:08:36,833 --> 00:08:38,467
Falling from the cloud.
[ thunder rumbles ]
162
00:08:38,467 --> 00:08:42,267
You get a strong electric field,
You get clear air turbulence,
163
00:08:42,267 --> 00:08:46,067
And all of those things
Combined to challenge
164
00:08:46,067 --> 00:08:51,400
A pilot's perception of what's
Going on around him or her.
165
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,067
Narrator:
There could also be another,
166
00:08:53,067 --> 00:08:57,067
More rare explanation
For what cary experienced.
167
00:08:57,067 --> 00:08:59,633
Willoughby: st. Elmo's fire
Is a possibility,
168
00:08:59,633 --> 00:09:03,600
Having some sort of mist
Which you can fly into
169
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,433
Without knowing it's there.
170
00:09:06,433 --> 00:09:08,567
St. Elmo's fire happens
When the airplane
171
00:09:08,567 --> 00:09:11,200
Accumulates an electric charge.
172
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,767
It can produce a hissing sound
In the radios and can interfere
173
00:09:16,767 --> 00:09:20,400
With electrical devices
Inside the airplane.
174
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,400
What happens is you can see
The ground
175
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,900
Because you're looking through
A little bit of mist.
176
00:09:24,900 --> 00:09:27,767
But when you look horizontally,
You're looking through the layer
177
00:09:27,767 --> 00:09:29,700
And you can't see the horizon.
178
00:09:31,933 --> 00:09:36,433
St. Elmo's fire is a glow,
Usually kind of yellowish.
179
00:09:36,433 --> 00:09:39,867
It appears on leading
Edges of wings,
180
00:09:39,867 --> 00:09:41,633
Anything that sticks out
From the airplane,
181
00:09:41,633 --> 00:09:44,533
But it can spread over
Much of the fuselage.
182
00:09:44,533 --> 00:09:47,567
Narrator:
So can the weather and pilot
Error really be responsible
183
00:09:47,567 --> 00:09:50,367
For all the disappearances
And strange occurrences?
184
00:09:50,367 --> 00:09:52,367
Or is there
Another explanation,
185
00:09:52,367 --> 00:09:54,967
One that is connected
To an underwater anomaly
186
00:09:54,967 --> 00:09:58,267
That some believe is
The mythical city of atlantis?
187
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:08,033
*
188
00:10:08,033 --> 00:10:09,767
Narrator:
Within the bermuda triangle,
189
00:10:09,767 --> 00:10:12,800
Hundreds of souls have perished
Over the centuries.
190
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,800
Although many theories
Have been put forward
191
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,000
To explain
The mysterious vanishings,
192
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,767
We are still no closer
To a definitive answer.
193
00:10:20,767 --> 00:10:24,000
Some of the more extreme
Melodramatic ideas
194
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,033
To explain
The alleged disappearances
195
00:10:26,033 --> 00:10:30,433
In the bermuda triangle
Include sages from atlantis
196
00:10:30,433 --> 00:10:34,933
Drawing them down to their doom,
Or portals to other worlds
197
00:10:34,933 --> 00:10:38,933
Is certainly one of the most
Enduring mysteries around.
198
00:10:38,933 --> 00:10:42,733
But just how much truth
Is there in it?
199
00:10:42,733 --> 00:10:43,967
Narrator: in recent years,
200
00:10:43,967 --> 00:10:46,500
One hypothesis
Has gained scientific approval,
201
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:48,500
And it has to do with gas.
202
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:50,967
Gough:
Scientists have recently
Developed a technology
203
00:10:50,967 --> 00:10:54,800
That is a radar examination
Of the ocean floor.
204
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,933
And what they find is that
There's pockets of methane gas
205
00:10:58,933 --> 00:11:01,367
Which are exploding up
Through the ocean,
206
00:11:01,367 --> 00:11:03,667
Creating this change
In density,
207
00:11:03,667 --> 00:11:07,433
And these huge sort of bubbles
That come up to the surface
208
00:11:07,433 --> 00:11:10,933
That would have a detrimental
Impact on any ship
209
00:11:10,933 --> 00:11:14,833
That happen to be in the wrong
Place at the wrong time.
210
00:11:14,833 --> 00:11:18,300
Mcmahon: and the affect
That this has is at sea level
211
00:11:18,300 --> 00:11:20,900
To make it very hard
For vessels to float.
212
00:11:20,900 --> 00:11:23,900
If the methane rises
Into the air
213
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:25,367
And there's a plane flying
Overhead,
214
00:11:25,367 --> 00:11:28,700
It can react with
The electrical devices on board,
215
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:30,733
Effectively ignite.
216
00:11:30,733 --> 00:11:34,233
Of course, the result of that is
You then have a plane exploding,
217
00:11:34,233 --> 00:11:39,067
Suddenly disappearing, crashing
Into the sea without trace.
218
00:11:39,067 --> 00:11:41,333
Narrator:
Convincing as the methane
Gas theory is,
219
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:43,600
It doesn't explain all of
The strange anomalies
220
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,067
Reported within
The bermuda triangle.
221
00:11:46,067 --> 00:11:49,933
In 1968, an archeological
Discovery in the bahamas
222
00:11:49,933 --> 00:11:53,200
Threatened to challenge not just
Our understanding of history,
223
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,167
But of science itself.
224
00:11:55,167 --> 00:11:57,933
Mcmahon:
Geologists say this is just
A natural rock
225
00:11:57,933 --> 00:11:59,367
Formation under the sea,
226
00:11:59,367 --> 00:12:02,900
But it has a very kind
Of angular look to it.
227
00:12:02,900 --> 00:12:05,500
It looks like
It could be the ruins
228
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:07,467
Of some kind
Of ancient structure.
229
00:12:07,467 --> 00:12:09,967
And that's exactly what
Some people believe it is.
230
00:12:09,967 --> 00:12:14,700
Gough:
The bimini road is allegedly
A manmade structure
231
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:17,433
In the bahamas
On the floor of the ocean
232
00:12:17,433 --> 00:12:20,067
That runs for about
A third of the mile.
233
00:12:20,067 --> 00:12:26,500
Now, many believe
This is proof of atlantis.
234
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:29,367
Narrator:
David childress is an author
And self-confessed
235
00:12:29,367 --> 00:12:31,167
Rogue archeologist.
236
00:12:31,167 --> 00:12:32,667
He has ventured into and dived
237
00:12:32,667 --> 00:12:35,100
The bermuda triangle
Multiple times.
238
00:12:35,100 --> 00:12:36,833
David believes
That the mysterious
239
00:12:36,833 --> 00:12:39,933
Vanishings are connected to
This ancient rock formation
240
00:12:39,933 --> 00:12:43,067
Known as the bimini road,
Which many believe
241
00:12:43,067 --> 00:12:45,800
Is the gateway
To the mythical atlantis.
242
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,400
Childress:
Right now, we're just off
The coast of florida
243
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,433
In the bermuda triangle.
244
00:12:51,433 --> 00:12:54,067
And this is where
A lot of the mysteries
245
00:12:54,067 --> 00:12:57,700
Of the bermuda triangle occur,
Right in this area.
246
00:12:57,700 --> 00:13:01,067
Not far from here
Is the island of bimini.
247
00:13:01,067 --> 00:13:04,233
And on the northwest
Coast of bimini
248
00:13:04,233 --> 00:13:06,767
Is what's called
The bimini road.
249
00:13:06,767 --> 00:13:09,267
And I have scuba dived
This a number of times,
250
00:13:09,267 --> 00:13:12,500
It's it's only in about
30 feet of water, actually.
251
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:14,433
But what you see
At the bimini road
252
00:13:14,433 --> 00:13:18,500
Is very similar to the megaliths
That we see in peru,
253
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:22,467
Particularly at sacsayhuaman
And fortress above cusco.
254
00:13:22,467 --> 00:13:27,300
And what that is, is huge,
Pillowy blocks of stone
255
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:30,467
That are perfectly
Fitted together.
256
00:13:30,467 --> 00:13:33,067
And it's a it's
A megalithic formation
257
00:13:33,067 --> 00:13:34,967
That appears to be manmade.
258
00:13:34,967 --> 00:13:36,867
So the big question
With the bimini road
259
00:13:36,867 --> 00:13:39,700
Is whether it is
An artificial structure
260
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:43,067
Or somehow just an unusual
Natural structure,
261
00:13:43,067 --> 00:13:45,600
As some geologists believe.
262
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,333
but if it is
An artificial structure
263
00:13:48,333 --> 00:13:51,400
And it's under water,
What is it doing there?
264
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,733
And that's where
Atlantis comes in.
265
00:13:53,733 --> 00:13:56,333
And that is why
Many people think
266
00:13:56,333 --> 00:13:58,967
That the lost city of atlantis
267
00:13:58,967 --> 00:14:01,900
Is somewhere
In the bermuda triangle.
268
00:14:04,333 --> 00:14:07,600
Mcmahon: in the 1970s,
It was very widely believed
269
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,867
That the bermuda triangle
May indeed
270
00:14:09,867 --> 00:14:14,400
Have been the site of the
Legendary kingdom of atlantis,
271
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,467
Which included a pyramid on top
Of which was a magnetic crystal
272
00:14:19,467 --> 00:14:22,533
That powered that society,
Some kind of primitive,
273
00:14:22,533 --> 00:14:25,700
Maybe extraterrestrial form
Of electricity.
274
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:27,400
But unfortunately,
This magnetic crystal
275
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,600
Also seems to have drawn
In cosmic forces
276
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,267
That led to the terrible
Destruction of atlantis.
277
00:14:34,267 --> 00:14:38,100
The whole thing collapses
And that magnetic crystal falls
278
00:14:38,100 --> 00:14:39,700
To the bottom of the sea.
279
00:14:39,700 --> 00:14:41,567
And it's believed by some
It's still there.
280
00:14:41,567 --> 00:14:43,367
It's still pulsating.
281
00:14:43,367 --> 00:14:47,133
And it's these shockwaves
From that magnetic crystal
282
00:14:47,133 --> 00:14:51,200
That's responsible for downing
Planes and sinking ships.
283
00:14:53,567 --> 00:14:55,367
Childress:
The story of atlantis
Comes to us
284
00:14:55,367 --> 00:14:57,767
From the greek
Philosopher plato.
285
00:14:57,767 --> 00:15:02,100
It was a city with concentric
Canals that went to it
286
00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:05,867
That had a huge navy,
But they also had electricity.
287
00:15:05,867 --> 00:15:08,133
They had airships.
288
00:15:08,133 --> 00:15:12,467
And many people think
That these energy crystals
289
00:15:12,467 --> 00:15:15,267
That were part
Of these pyramids
290
00:15:15,267 --> 00:15:19,067
And perhaps obelisks
That were part of atlantis
291
00:15:19,067 --> 00:15:22,533
Were a power source
For these airships
292
00:15:22,533 --> 00:15:28,433
And for the electrical power
In atlantis.
293
00:15:28,433 --> 00:15:31,933
Now, you have to wonder
If the american military
294
00:15:31,933 --> 00:15:35,733
Isn't interested in this, too.
And it's very possible
295
00:15:35,733 --> 00:15:39,767
That if there is evidence
Of atlantis in the bahamas
296
00:15:39,767 --> 00:15:42,167
Or elsewhere
In the bermuda triangle,
297
00:15:42,167 --> 00:15:45,933
That the american navy
Has actually discovered it
298
00:15:45,933 --> 00:15:49,800
And that they know about
These pyramids and perhaps
299
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,800
They are studying these pyramids
Here in the bermuda triangle.
300
00:15:57,067 --> 00:15:59,100
Narrator: is it possible
That atlantis exists
301
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:01,300
In the waters
Of the bermuda triangle?
302
00:16:01,300 --> 00:16:04,400
And if so, is there any evidence
The u.S. Navy
303
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,967
May be harnessing
The same alternative power
304
00:16:06,967 --> 00:16:09,233
Used by
The mythical civilization?
305
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:18,700
*
306
00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:21,600
Narrator: the bermuda triangle
Is the stuff of legends.
307
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,133
With hundreds of ships and
Planes disappearing within it,
308
00:16:25,133 --> 00:16:28,567
Some speculate the lost city
Of atlantis is buried below
309
00:16:28,567 --> 00:16:31,200
And still emitting
Strange forces.
310
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,167
Perhaps the u.S. Navy
Has discovered the ancient city
311
00:16:34,167 --> 00:16:36,267
And harnessed its power.
312
00:16:36,267 --> 00:16:39,600
With several naval bases
Located within the triangle.
313
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,233
One installation in particular
Stands out,
314
00:16:42,233 --> 00:16:44,567
The top secret,
Autec.
315
00:16:44,567 --> 00:16:48,967
Autec is the atlantic undersea
Test and evaluation center.
316
00:16:48,967 --> 00:16:52,233
And what that is,
Is a naval base
317
00:16:52,233 --> 00:16:55,467
Where underwater
Forms of warfare
318
00:16:55,467 --> 00:16:57,667
Are being tested by scientists.
319
00:16:57,667 --> 00:16:59,733
And you know,
That might involve submarines
320
00:16:59,733 --> 00:17:01,800
And other secret technology.
321
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,300
But it's also believed
That those scientists
322
00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:06,900
May have been working
With alien technology
323
00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:11,200
And may even have made contact
With extraterrestrials.
324
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,867
Gough:
Autec is a laboratory,
Under the water,
325
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:18,467
That performs
Advanced warfare tests
326
00:17:18,467 --> 00:17:21,967
With technology
That is highly confidential.
327
00:17:21,967 --> 00:17:24,067
It's unidentified
Flying objects,
328
00:17:24,067 --> 00:17:26,767
But also unidentified
Submersive objects.
329
00:17:26,767 --> 00:17:29,067
We really don't know
What they do.
330
00:17:29,067 --> 00:17:32,467
But we do know that they operate
In the vicinity
331
00:17:32,467 --> 00:17:34,967
Of the so-called
Bermuda triangle.
332
00:17:34,967 --> 00:17:38,133
And isn't that curious?
333
00:17:38,133 --> 00:17:40,167
Narrator: self-confessed
Rogue archeologist
334
00:17:40,167 --> 00:17:43,133
David childress has his
Own theories about autec
335
00:17:43,133 --> 00:17:45,733
And how this top-secret
Military installation
336
00:17:45,733 --> 00:17:49,600
Is connected to
The mysterious vanishings.
337
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,867
Childress:
On the bahamian island
Of andros,
338
00:17:52,867 --> 00:17:55,667
Which is the largest of all
The islands of the bahamas,
339
00:17:55,667 --> 00:17:59,133
Is a u.S. Naval facility
Known as autec.
340
00:17:59,133 --> 00:18:04,300
It's a top-secret submarine,
And oceanography base.
341
00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:07,933
What goes on there?
We don't really know.
342
00:18:07,933 --> 00:18:11,833
This is right in the heart
Of the bermuda triangle.
343
00:18:11,833 --> 00:18:14,700
And you have to suspect
That some of the things
344
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:17,100
That are happening
In the bermuda triangle
345
00:18:17,100 --> 00:18:21,433
Might have to do
With secret technology
346
00:18:21,433 --> 00:18:25,400
That's being developed
By the u.S. Military.
347
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,633
One of the big stories about
Bermuda triangle is about
348
00:18:28,633 --> 00:18:33,333
Usos -- unidentified
submersible objects.
349
00:18:33,333 --> 00:18:36,933
So these are essentially
Mystery submarines
350
00:18:36,933 --> 00:18:40,367
That people are seeing here
In the bermuda triangle.
351
00:18:40,367 --> 00:18:42,533
And this may have been going on
For hundreds of years.
352
00:18:42,533 --> 00:18:45,400
We don't really know.
But what is interesting
353
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,167
Is that some of these
Unidentified submersible objects
354
00:18:49,167 --> 00:18:53,133
Are suddenly seen emerging
From the water,
355
00:18:53,133 --> 00:18:56,400
Then come out of the water
And they fly.
356
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,200
And they're now ufos.
357
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,400
Narrator:
Incredible as david childress'
Assertions are about usos,
358
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,300
There is one man
Who can corroborate
359
00:19:06,300 --> 00:19:08,433
His extraordinary claims.
360
00:19:08,433 --> 00:19:11,333
David malcolm is an ex-employee
Of all autec.
361
00:19:11,333 --> 00:19:13,767
And he believes beyond
A shadow of a doubt
362
00:19:13,767 --> 00:19:16,267
That the top-secret naval base
Is connected
363
00:19:16,267 --> 00:19:19,900
To the strange anomalies
Within the bermuda triangle.
364
00:19:19,900 --> 00:19:25,167
In the early '70s, I worked as
A defense contractor at a base
365
00:19:25,167 --> 00:19:27,833
On andros island
Called autec.
366
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:31,067
It was the atlantic undersea
Testing and evaluation center.
367
00:19:31,067 --> 00:19:34,267
Some people consider it
To be the navy's area 51.
368
00:19:34,267 --> 00:19:39,800
And a lot of testing
Of naval warfare and equipment,
369
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,600
It takes place there.
370
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,100
Andros, is the largest
Bahama island,
371
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:46,300
But it's also
The least inhabited.
372
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:48,533
So it's a pretty
Remote location.
373
00:19:48,533 --> 00:19:50,167
And the tongue of the ocean
Is an area
374
00:19:50,167 --> 00:19:53,067
Where it's a deep trench.
375
00:19:53,067 --> 00:19:55,300
It's actually
A thousand fathoms deep.
376
00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:58,133
And it's a perfect place
For acoustical testing
377
00:19:58,133 --> 00:20:00,900
And a place
For the military to operate
378
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:03,867
Without endangering
Commercial shipping
379
00:20:03,867 --> 00:20:05,567
Because no one else is in there.
380
00:20:05,567 --> 00:20:08,067
This is a very beautiful
Location,
381
00:20:08,067 --> 00:20:10,533
But it's also a very secure
Location,
382
00:20:10,533 --> 00:20:13,933
It's guarded, fenced,
And patrolled.
383
00:20:13,933 --> 00:20:15,400
And no one gets in or out
384
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,333
Without having a need
To be there.
385
00:20:18,333 --> 00:20:21,300
The job required a top secret
Security clearance
386
00:20:21,300 --> 00:20:23,500
Because of the nature
Of what was going on there
387
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:26,067
With nuclear submarines
388
00:20:26,067 --> 00:20:31,267
And other classified
Warfare systems.
389
00:20:31,267 --> 00:20:33,200
My job title
Was a weapons technician,
390
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,100
And we'd go out during
The testing operations
391
00:20:36,100 --> 00:20:39,200
And we'd chase down missiles
Or torpedoes,
392
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,100
Whatever had been fired.
Recover them,
393
00:20:42,100 --> 00:20:46,033
Bring them back into the shop
To be analyzed for telemetry
394
00:20:46,033 --> 00:20:50,567
And any other items
They might be interested in.
395
00:20:50,567 --> 00:20:53,433
Mcmahon: you've heard of ufos,
But there are also usos --
396
00:20:53,433 --> 00:20:57,100
Unidentified
Submersible objects.
397
00:20:57,100 --> 00:21:01,267
And these uso shows have been
Reported have been seen
398
00:21:01,267 --> 00:21:05,333
In the bermuda triangle by,
For example, fishing fleets.
399
00:21:05,333 --> 00:21:08,200
And there is a strong belief
Among many
400
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,633
That there's a link between
These objects and whatever
401
00:21:11,633 --> 00:21:15,100
Autec is up to,
And possibly proof
402
00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:20,067
That autec has indeed
Developed alien technology.
403
00:21:20,067 --> 00:21:21,867
We were on
A recovery operation,
404
00:21:21,867 --> 00:21:24,167
One winter day,
And I was in
405
00:21:24,167 --> 00:21:28,100
The back of the boat,
And you can see here,
406
00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:30,533
Recovering a torpedo that more
Than likely had been fired
407
00:21:30,533 --> 00:21:32,633
From that sub in the background.
408
00:21:32,633 --> 00:21:36,300
And I noticed something
Rising up out of the depths
409
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:39,400
And I wasn't
Quite sure what it was.
410
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,767
As it slowly rose,
It looked like a pipeline.
411
00:21:42,767 --> 00:21:44,167
And I remember thinking,
412
00:21:44,167 --> 00:21:47,167
"What is a pipeline doing
In the middle of the ocean?"
413
00:21:47,167 --> 00:21:49,533
And as it continued
To rise, silently,
414
00:21:49,533 --> 00:21:52,233
I noticed
I couldn't see either end.
415
00:21:52,233 --> 00:21:56,700
And as quickly as it rose,
It again faded into the depths
416
00:21:56,700 --> 00:22:00,267
And it was gone.
417
00:22:00,267 --> 00:22:04,167
At the time, I was used to
Seeing odd things in the water
418
00:22:04,167 --> 00:22:06,700
Because of the nature
Of the work we were doing.
419
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:08,800
It never occurred to me
To say anything,
420
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,467
Mainly because we didn't discuss
Things we saw on the test range.
421
00:22:13,467 --> 00:22:17,100
It was classified information
Not to be discussed.
422
00:22:17,100 --> 00:22:20,667
And years later,
I came to wonder,
423
00:22:20,667 --> 00:22:26,067
Specially when news of usos
Became more widespread.
424
00:22:26,067 --> 00:22:28,967
I started thinking, perhaps
That's what I might have seen.
425
00:22:31,067 --> 00:22:33,600
And it's interesting now,
Because I've read accounts
426
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,067
Since then
Of cigar-shaped objects
427
00:22:36,067 --> 00:22:40,500
That people tend to find
Flying around in the sky.
428
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:42,600
I could pretty much
Relate to that.
429
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,600
And, you know,
You could consider this pipe
430
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,200
A cigar-shaped object as well.
431
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,800
Picknett: it's possible that
The presence of autec
432
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,067
In the area
Of the bermuda triangle
433
00:22:53,067 --> 00:22:58,567
Is actually attracting ufos,
Just like in area 51,
434
00:22:58,567 --> 00:23:02,567
Where the military seem
To be attracting ufos.
435
00:23:02,567 --> 00:23:05,367
We don't know how it happens,
Which comes first,
436
00:23:05,367 --> 00:23:09,700
But certainly the two
Do go together.
437
00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:12,900
Narrator:
If autec tech is connected
To the mysterious usos,
438
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:14,367
Then what about
Their more famous
439
00:23:14,367 --> 00:23:16,867
Flying counterparts, ufos?
440
00:23:16,867 --> 00:23:19,367
Is it possible
That recent sightings of ufos
441
00:23:19,367 --> 00:23:20,867
In the bermuda triangle
442
00:23:20,867 --> 00:23:24,133
Could be linked to highly
Classified military craft?
443
00:23:26,167 --> 00:23:34,467
*
444
00:23:34,467 --> 00:23:35,667
Narrator: over the centuries,
445
00:23:35,667 --> 00:23:37,300
Navigators through
The bermuda triangle
446
00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:39,467
Have reported
Strange anomalies --
447
00:23:39,467 --> 00:23:41,933
From bizarre lights
And spinning compasses,
448
00:23:41,933 --> 00:23:45,233
To giant unidentified
Submersible objects.
449
00:23:45,233 --> 00:23:47,067
With a strong presence
In the area,
450
00:23:47,067 --> 00:23:49,667
Could the u.S. Military have
Discovered something mysterious
451
00:23:49,667 --> 00:23:50,900
And otherworldly?
452
00:23:50,900 --> 00:23:52,967
Picknett: historically,
Traditionally,
453
00:23:52,967 --> 00:23:55,433
The intelligence
Behind the ufo phenomenon,
454
00:23:55,433 --> 00:24:00,100
It seems, are attracted
To the military.
455
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:01,433
Maybe out of curiosity,
456
00:24:01,433 --> 00:24:04,200
Maybe they get some
Some kind of power out of it.
457
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,067
Maybe they're just
Keeping an eye.
458
00:24:07,067 --> 00:24:11,600
A curious event occurred in 2015
That might change how we think
459
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,767
About what's been occurring
In the bermuda triangle.
460
00:24:14,767 --> 00:24:17,867
There was an unidentified
Flying object
461
00:24:17,867 --> 00:24:21,867
That was observed by about
A dozen air force personnel.
462
00:24:44,467 --> 00:24:46,300
No one knows what it was,
463
00:24:46,300 --> 00:24:48,200
But it gives credence
To the fact
464
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,733
That there are
Unexplained events
465
00:24:50,733 --> 00:24:54,133
Occurring in the area
Of the bermuda triangle
466
00:24:54,133 --> 00:24:57,300
That might be causing
These disappearances.
467
00:24:57,300 --> 00:25:00,233
Picknett:
Having seen the video
Taken by the pilots,
468
00:25:00,233 --> 00:25:06,933
It does actually fit precisely
With other descriptions of ufos
469
00:25:06,933 --> 00:25:12,133
Over decades,
And leaves us really no closer
470
00:25:12,133 --> 00:25:13,967
To putting our finger on
What they are.
471
00:25:13,967 --> 00:25:15,567
It's not enough to say,
472
00:25:15,567 --> 00:25:19,367
"Oh, there's some form
Of alien craft."
473
00:25:19,367 --> 00:25:23,167
Ufos don't necessarily
Imply alien anyway,
474
00:25:23,167 --> 00:25:25,967
But they are something
Outside our comprehension
475
00:25:25,967 --> 00:25:27,700
Because they shape shift.
476
00:25:27,700 --> 00:25:28,933
One minute
You're looking at them
477
00:25:28,933 --> 00:25:31,100
And they look like a hard nuts
And bolts craft
478
00:25:31,100 --> 00:25:34,267
And suddenly they seem to be
Amorphous and made of light
479
00:25:34,267 --> 00:25:38,967
And they just turn like that
And zip around.
480
00:25:38,967 --> 00:25:41,900
And one that I saw,
Many years ago,
481
00:25:41,900 --> 00:25:46,267
Started as I thought it was
A plane crossing a night sky
482
00:25:46,267 --> 00:25:49,333
And suddenly it split
Into five different lights,
483
00:25:49,333 --> 00:25:53,267
Danced around the sky,
Went back together and zoom.
484
00:25:53,267 --> 00:25:56,567
So personally, I think it's all
Part of the same phenomenon,
485
00:25:56,567 --> 00:25:59,300
Whatever that might be.
486
00:25:59,300 --> 00:26:01,600
Narrator: it's not just
Military air force pilots
487
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:02,967
In rare circumstances
488
00:26:02,967 --> 00:26:06,100
Who have reported seeing ufos
In the bermuda triangle.
489
00:26:06,100 --> 00:26:08,200
Yaniel garriga
Is a commercial pilot
490
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,467
Whose job requires him
To regularly fly
491
00:26:10,467 --> 00:26:12,100
Into the bermuda triangle.
492
00:26:12,100 --> 00:26:14,167
He encountered two ufos
While flying
493
00:26:14,167 --> 00:26:16,600
Near the bahamian island
Of andros,
494
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,200
Home of a top
Secret naval base autec.
495
00:27:32,333 --> 00:27:34,400
Of all witnesses to ufos,
496
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:39,500
Surely the most reliable
Must be members of the military,
497
00:27:39,500 --> 00:27:44,400
Or professional pilots.
They are trained observers.
498
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,100
And they are trained
Not to be fanciful.
499
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:49,533
There's so many theories
About the bermuda triangle.
500
00:27:49,533 --> 00:27:53,200
But when you hear
A firsthand observation
501
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,867
By air force personnel.
502
00:27:55,867 --> 00:28:00,567
There's something about hearing
About these unusual observations
503
00:28:00,567 --> 00:28:04,600
From someone who is so well
Trained to discern the ordinary
504
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,667
From the extraordinary
That it just makes you believe
505
00:28:07,667 --> 00:28:10,833
There's a lot more
That we don't understand.
506
00:28:10,833 --> 00:28:15,767
Why are these ufos
Attracted to this triangle?
507
00:28:15,767 --> 00:28:18,833
It's obviously because of energy
In the same way
508
00:28:18,833 --> 00:28:21,733
As we possibly believe
That stonehenge
509
00:28:21,733 --> 00:28:25,833
And various other sites
Also for some reason
510
00:28:25,833 --> 00:28:28,367
Attracted ufos
Or still attract uf--
511
00:28:28,367 --> 00:28:31,967
It's all back to earth energy.
512
00:28:31,967 --> 00:28:34,267
Narrator: and what about
Bermuda itself?
513
00:28:34,267 --> 00:28:37,533
The island that spawned
The legend of the triangle?
514
00:28:37,533 --> 00:28:39,100
Is there anything in its history
515
00:28:39,100 --> 00:28:40,733
Which could explain
The mysteries
516
00:28:40,733 --> 00:28:43,967
Of the bermuda triangle
Once and for all?
517
00:28:46,067 --> 00:28:53,333
*
518
00:28:53,333 --> 00:28:57,500
Narrator:
The bermuda triangle instills
Both wonder and fear.
519
00:28:57,500 --> 00:28:59,600
The very name itself
Is a catchphrase
520
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:04,067
For all that is dark,
Strange and mysterious.
521
00:29:04,067 --> 00:29:06,567
But is there anything
In the island's history
522
00:29:06,567 --> 00:29:09,067
That could help explain
The enigma?
523
00:29:09,067 --> 00:29:11,233
Gough:
Although the bermuda triangle
Is a label
524
00:29:11,233 --> 00:29:14,800
That we've created
In the last half a century.
525
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,600
The area around
The bermuda triangle
526
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,400
Has been a source of mystery
And fear
527
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,867
And confusion for hundreds,
If not thousands of years.
528
00:29:25,867 --> 00:29:27,967
Narrator: philippe rouja
Is an anthropologist,
529
00:29:27,967 --> 00:29:29,933
Historian,
And bermuda native
530
00:29:29,933 --> 00:29:32,633
Who believes that the answer
To the bermuda triangle
531
00:29:32,633 --> 00:29:35,367
May lie in its dangerous past.
532
00:29:35,367 --> 00:29:37,333
Rouja: it's entirely logical
That this would be the place
533
00:29:37,333 --> 00:29:39,733
Where in the 20th century,
When they started talking about
534
00:29:39,733 --> 00:29:41,767
Or inventing the myth
Of the bermuda triangle.
535
00:29:41,767 --> 00:29:44,067
It makes sense that that
It's not just a triangle,
536
00:29:44,067 --> 00:29:45,267
It's the bermuda triangle.
537
00:29:45,267 --> 00:29:48,500
Bermuda can literally handle
That sort of tagline
538
00:29:48,500 --> 00:29:52,533
Because bermuda has this true
History of disaster
539
00:29:52,533 --> 00:29:54,433
And tragedy surrounding it.
540
00:29:54,433 --> 00:29:55,633
You know,
Literally surrounding it,
541
00:29:55,633 --> 00:29:57,933
In terms of the number
Of shipwrecks we have.
542
00:29:57,933 --> 00:29:59,733
So we speculate
That there's over
543
00:29:59,733 --> 00:30:01,367
300 shipwrecks around, bermuda.
544
00:30:01,367 --> 00:30:03,200
And my job is a custodian
Of historic wrecks
545
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,667
Is to essentially try
And locate those shipwrecks.
546
00:30:05,667 --> 00:30:06,933
Narrator:
Because in bermuda,
547
00:30:06,933 --> 00:30:09,633
Shipwrecks were something
The locals hoped for.
548
00:30:09,633 --> 00:30:11,400
Rouja: every ship that sank off
Of bermuda,
549
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,100
Especially those early days,
Was like a store.
550
00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:15,600
You know, all the things
That you couldn't
551
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,133
Possibly produce here.
Iron, rope, cloth.
552
00:30:19,133 --> 00:30:20,867
Imagine all those things
Suddenly arriving
553
00:30:20,867 --> 00:30:22,300
All in one basket.
554
00:30:22,300 --> 00:30:23,667
And so bermudians
Became very adept
555
00:30:23,667 --> 00:30:25,267
At actually what
They call wrecking.
556
00:30:25,267 --> 00:30:27,133
They would actually
Encourage shipwrecks
557
00:30:27,133 --> 00:30:29,400
So that they could create
This kind of like, you know,
558
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,300
Almost like a delivery,
559
00:30:31,300 --> 00:30:33,967
If you want, of the goods
And products that they needed.
560
00:30:33,967 --> 00:30:35,433
They couldn't get any other way.
561
00:30:35,433 --> 00:30:37,900
And so that reputation then
Of bermuda just being dangerous
562
00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:39,433
From an environmental
Point of view
563
00:30:39,433 --> 00:30:41,367
Is enhanced by
The bermudians themselves
564
00:30:41,367 --> 00:30:44,167
Who are then actively
Encouraging shipwrecks.
565
00:30:44,167 --> 00:30:46,867
And so that's why bermuda was,
Early on, from the earliest days
566
00:30:46,867 --> 00:30:49,467
Called the isle of devils.
567
00:30:49,467 --> 00:30:52,533
In the early charts, bermuda
Is actually painted upside down.
568
00:30:52,533 --> 00:30:54,200
And that doesn't make sense
Because these guys knew
569
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,500
How to draw charts.
570
00:30:55,500 --> 00:30:57,833
And so we imagine
That it's done on purpose
571
00:30:57,833 --> 00:31:00,933
As a warning to mariners to say,
Look, this place is dangerous.
572
00:31:00,933 --> 00:31:02,567
You know, when you put flag
Upside down,
573
00:31:02,567 --> 00:31:04,300
It's a sign
That you're in distress.
574
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:06,433
Narrator: there are also
Naturally-occurring dangers
575
00:31:06,433 --> 00:31:07,933
Surrounding the island.
576
00:31:07,933 --> 00:31:10,300
Mcmahon: this is an area
That's extremely volatile.
577
00:31:10,300 --> 00:31:13,367
It's where three
Weather systems meet
578
00:31:13,367 --> 00:31:16,233
And you get phenomena
Like obviously hurricanes
579
00:31:16,233 --> 00:31:19,300
Which are growing in frequency
And in strength.
580
00:31:19,300 --> 00:31:21,700
But you also get a phenomenon
Like rogue waves
581
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:26,667
Which can capsize a ship,
Even ships of huge size.
582
00:31:26,667 --> 00:31:28,900
Narrator: and history can prove
This has been happening
583
00:31:28,900 --> 00:31:31,267
For hundreds of years.
584
00:31:31,267 --> 00:31:32,500
This is the wreck of
The lartington.
585
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:35,400
She sunk in 1879.
586
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,533
And what's interesting
About this shipwreck
587
00:31:37,533 --> 00:31:39,267
In terms of the myth
Of the bermuda triangle
588
00:31:39,267 --> 00:31:42,467
Is it actually does speak
To one particular element
589
00:31:42,467 --> 00:31:45,767
That has some veracity to it.
You know, this ship
590
00:31:45,767 --> 00:31:48,967
Supposedly encountered
A 100-foot wave.
591
00:31:48,967 --> 00:31:53,567
That's literally just
A mass of hard, heavy water.
592
00:31:53,567 --> 00:31:56,067
The ship was literally bowled
Over by a 100-foot wave.
593
00:31:56,067 --> 00:31:59,300
You can see
It's a big iron ship.
594
00:31:59,300 --> 00:32:01,800
This notion of rogue waves
In the atlantic,
595
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,233
These sort of random appearances
Of massive waves
596
00:32:05,233 --> 00:32:06,967
And the damage
That it caused to the ship,
597
00:32:06,967 --> 00:32:08,867
They couldn't keep up
With the water coming in.
598
00:32:08,867 --> 00:32:10,467
Meant that then they gave up
On their journey
599
00:32:10,467 --> 00:32:13,433
From savannah, georgia,
To russia and ran for bermuda.
600
00:32:13,433 --> 00:32:15,367
And so they purposely
Crashed on bermuda.
601
00:32:15,367 --> 00:32:17,533
So it's as much as a shipwreck
As it is a crash.
602
00:32:17,533 --> 00:32:19,200
This was done with intention.
603
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,833
The thing about the area
Around the bermuda triangle
604
00:32:21,833 --> 00:32:25,667
Is that the weather conditions
Are really extreme.
605
00:32:25,667 --> 00:32:30,067
Not only is this literally
Hurricane alley,
606
00:32:30,067 --> 00:32:33,067
But there's also this phenomena
Of a rogue wave
607
00:32:33,067 --> 00:32:35,700
Or conflicting weather fronts.
608
00:32:35,700 --> 00:32:39,067
And weather events literally
Create a perfect storm,
609
00:32:39,067 --> 00:32:40,500
A perfect wave.
610
00:32:40,500 --> 00:32:43,333
They can have all sorts
Of detrimental effect
611
00:32:43,333 --> 00:32:46,633
For any ship or boat
That comes in its path.
612
00:32:46,633 --> 00:32:48,133
Narrator:
Professor of oceanography
613
00:32:48,133 --> 00:32:51,067
From the university
Of south hampton, simon boxall,
614
00:32:51,067 --> 00:32:53,733
Believes what caused
The lartington's demise
615
00:32:53,733 --> 00:32:55,933
Can happen just as easily today
616
00:32:55,933 --> 00:32:58,300
Because, while
Rogue waves may be rare.
617
00:32:58,300 --> 00:33:00,800
They are firmly
Rooted in science.
618
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,267
So the scenario we have
In the bermuda triangle
619
00:33:03,267 --> 00:33:05,733
Is that we have storms
Coming across the atlantic,
620
00:33:05,733 --> 00:33:09,133
Along the tropics, the classic
Hurricanes that come across.
621
00:33:09,133 --> 00:33:10,700
And we've got bermuda over here.
622
00:33:10,700 --> 00:33:13,400
We've got florida keys
And florida down here.
623
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,067
And these storms are creating
The classic sort of textbook
624
00:33:17,067 --> 00:33:19,533
Tall textbook
Pictures of waves.
625
00:33:19,533 --> 00:33:22,567
Most waves are maybe as much
As 10 meters high.
626
00:33:22,567 --> 00:33:25,800
Up here, maybe we've got another
Storm system from grand banks.
627
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,500
And that's creating waves
Coming along at about
628
00:33:28,500 --> 00:33:30,533
10 meters high as well.
629
00:33:30,533 --> 00:33:34,267
Where these two come together,
The two waves can combine.
630
00:33:34,267 --> 00:33:36,567
And we're going to find that
If you've got your two waves
631
00:33:36,567 --> 00:33:39,467
Like this,
That are slightly out of phase,
632
00:33:39,467 --> 00:33:42,600
Sometimes they'll let up,
Sometimes they'll cancel out.
633
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,133
So the real waves that you'll
See in the real ocean
634
00:33:46,133 --> 00:33:48,567
Look like this.
635
00:33:48,567 --> 00:33:51,067
That means that when
These two storms come together,
636
00:33:51,067 --> 00:33:52,567
We've got a perfect storm.
637
00:33:52,567 --> 00:33:55,333
And we then end up
With a 20-meter wave.
638
00:33:55,333 --> 00:33:58,467
And that can be fatal
For a ship.
639
00:33:58,467 --> 00:34:01,667
We see that every time
We get down to the coast.
640
00:34:01,667 --> 00:34:03,633
Know you'll stand
On the shore side
641
00:34:03,633 --> 00:34:05,433
And you'll see those waves
Lapping it.
642
00:34:05,433 --> 00:34:07,200
And every so often
Your feet get wet
643
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,567
As an extra big wave
Comes in or
644
00:34:08,567 --> 00:34:10,467
For standing there
On a stormy day,
645
00:34:10,467 --> 00:34:13,267
The wave crashes
Over the harbor, off the pier.
646
00:34:13,267 --> 00:34:14,500
And that's exactly
What's happening
647
00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:16,133
In the bermuda triangle area.
648
00:34:16,133 --> 00:34:18,600
And if a ship gets caught
On these super waves,
649
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,933
One of these rogue waves,
Then it's in trouble.
650
00:34:23,900 --> 00:34:25,800
Narrator: with its dangerous
History of shipwrecks,
651
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,400
Looting, and furious storms,
It's easy to see how the islands
652
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,067
Spawned the legend
Of the bermuda triangle.
653
00:34:32,067 --> 00:34:34,400
But there's one more secret
Left to reveal.
654
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,933
And it traces back to the
Beginning of the cold war.
655
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:46,367
*
656
00:34:46,367 --> 00:34:48,233
Narrator: the dark history
Of the shipwrecks
657
00:34:48,233 --> 00:34:49,933
Off the mainland of bermuda
658
00:34:49,933 --> 00:34:53,467
Certainly contributed to the
Legend of the infamous triangle.
659
00:34:53,467 --> 00:34:57,100
But, there is still one more
Secret the island has to reveal.
660
00:34:57,100 --> 00:35:00,067
Mcmahon:
The bermuda triangle
Is an area
661
00:35:00,067 --> 00:35:04,600
With three points --
Bermuda, miami, puerto rico.
662
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,200
And it's believed that
Within that area,
663
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,867
There are a disproportionate
Number of accidents,
664
00:35:10,867 --> 00:35:13,467
Of tragedies, of fatalities.
665
00:35:13,467 --> 00:35:17,467
Way more than other areas of sea
Around the world.
666
00:35:17,467 --> 00:35:20,800
Theories about the bermuda
Triangle include things
667
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,933
Such as ufos,
Underground vortexes,
668
00:35:24,933 --> 00:35:27,967
Entrances
To the hollow earth,
669
00:35:27,967 --> 00:35:31,833
Weather conditions that are
Extreme and unique to this area.
670
00:35:31,833 --> 00:35:36,067
Really, it's all
Over the map.
671
00:35:36,067 --> 00:35:37,400
Narrator:
But the bermuda triangle
672
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,867
Still has one more secret
To reveal.
673
00:35:40,867 --> 00:35:43,600
Rouja:
The u.S. Military came here
Post-world war ii.
674
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,733
And established quite
A significant military base,
675
00:35:45,733 --> 00:35:47,867
Essentially to keep a watch
On the atlantic
676
00:35:47,867 --> 00:35:49,267
During the cold war.
And they set up
677
00:35:49,267 --> 00:35:51,500
Some very advanced
Listening sort of systems
678
00:35:51,500 --> 00:35:53,233
To listen to what was going
On the atlantic,
679
00:35:53,233 --> 00:35:54,600
What what was the traffic
680
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,467
Of the russian submarine fleet
And all the rest of it.
681
00:35:56,467 --> 00:35:58,433
And so bermuda
Was a central part,
682
00:35:58,433 --> 00:36:01,167
If not the central sort of hub
For figuring out
683
00:36:01,167 --> 00:36:05,533
What was going on in the
Atlantic, in the cold war.
684
00:36:05,533 --> 00:36:07,067
Narrator:
Just along the coast,
685
00:36:07,067 --> 00:36:09,267
Is the now decommissioned
Top-secret naval
686
00:36:09,267 --> 00:36:11,900
Underwater system center
At tudor hill,
687
00:36:11,900 --> 00:36:14,600
Where american intelligence
Used advanced technology
688
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,500
To listen for russian submarines
689
00:36:17,500 --> 00:36:20,300
We're heading up to
The old naval,
690
00:36:20,300 --> 00:36:22,500
One part of the naval base
Called tudor hill,
691
00:36:22,500 --> 00:36:26,533
Which was the landing point
For the underwater array
692
00:36:26,533 --> 00:36:28,667
That went out into the atlantic
And around reading
693
00:36:28,667 --> 00:36:30,367
And listening
For russian submarines.
694
00:36:30,367 --> 00:36:33,400
And this is essentially
The sort of seaward edge
695
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,867
Of that naval annex.
696
00:36:35,867 --> 00:36:37,067
No one really understood
Or knew
697
00:36:37,067 --> 00:36:39,067
What the americans
Were doing here.
698
00:36:39,067 --> 00:36:40,933
It was like a weather station
Out at sea.
699
00:36:40,933 --> 00:36:42,700
And these cables
Purportedly communicated
700
00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:43,767
With that weather station.
701
00:36:43,767 --> 00:36:46,167
And that was the sort
Of cover story
702
00:36:46,167 --> 00:36:48,867
For the actually incredibly
Technologically-advanced
703
00:36:48,867 --> 00:36:50,433
Activities
That were going on here.
704
00:36:50,433 --> 00:36:52,967
They were testing really
The first arrays of sort of
705
00:36:52,967 --> 00:36:55,667
Underwater long-distance sonar.
706
00:36:55,667 --> 00:36:57,567
And they were detecting things,
707
00:36:57,567 --> 00:36:59,433
Literally, hundreds
Of kilometers away.
708
00:36:59,433 --> 00:37:02,967
And they did tests that
Encompassed the entire atlantic
709
00:37:02,967 --> 00:37:05,600
Trying to figure out
Just how this machine worked
710
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,200
And just what it could detect.
711
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,167
And so over time, they got super
Refined at figuring this out
712
00:37:11,167 --> 00:37:12,967
To the point where
They could detect and identify
713
00:37:12,967 --> 00:37:14,567
Each individual
Russian submarine
714
00:37:14,567 --> 00:37:16,533
And know where it was going,
Where it was on its route.
715
00:37:16,533 --> 00:37:19,067
You know, by its sound,
By its movements, et cetera.
716
00:37:19,067 --> 00:37:21,533
So it was a really important
Part of the cold war.
717
00:37:21,533 --> 00:37:27,467
*
718
00:37:27,467 --> 00:37:30,333
Imagine this is
The 1960s, 1970s.
719
00:37:30,333 --> 00:37:32,200
You know, you see this level
Of heightened security in this,
720
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:33,467
You know, we don't even
See this in airports,
721
00:37:33,467 --> 00:37:35,067
These kind of turnstiles.
722
00:37:35,067 --> 00:37:36,967
So this speaks to the what
It represented for them
723
00:37:36,967 --> 00:37:39,867
In terms of the secrecy and the,
You know, the power of it
724
00:37:39,867 --> 00:37:42,333
And the cold war to kind of
Help them deal with, you know,
725
00:37:42,333 --> 00:37:45,867
All of the big global issues
That they were trying to handle.
726
00:37:49,300 --> 00:37:51,400
It's kind of difficult
To see how this ties into
727
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,467
This whole of the myth
Of the bermuda triangle.
728
00:37:53,467 --> 00:37:54,500
And all the rest of it.
729
00:37:54,500 --> 00:37:56,167
But having people
Imagining that there was
730
00:37:56,167 --> 00:37:58,900
Some myth
Or some other-worldly story
731
00:37:58,900 --> 00:38:00,667
That explained
A lot of the things
732
00:38:00,667 --> 00:38:02,500
They might be seeing
That might be military in,
733
00:38:02,500 --> 00:38:04,333
You know, might be connected
To military activities.
734
00:38:04,333 --> 00:38:05,900
That probably was very
Convenient for the military.
735
00:38:05,900 --> 00:38:08,367
So it doesn't surprise me at all
That this might actually
736
00:38:08,367 --> 00:38:12,967
Have some part to play in
The bermuda triangle myth story.
737
00:38:12,967 --> 00:38:15,067
Narrator:
Author david childress
Is convinced
738
00:38:15,067 --> 00:38:17,967
That the military presence
In the bermuda triangle region
739
00:38:17,967 --> 00:38:20,067
Connected to the top
Secret installations
740
00:38:20,067 --> 00:38:22,433
Like autec
And tudor hill,
741
00:38:22,433 --> 00:38:26,800
Are the real explanation for
The more recent disappearances.
742
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,633
Childress:
I genuinely feel that there
Is real mysteries
743
00:38:30,633 --> 00:38:31,967
To the bermuda triangle
744
00:38:31,967 --> 00:38:33,567
And that they go back
For centuries.
745
00:38:33,567 --> 00:38:36,967
There's no doubt
That high-tech experiments
746
00:38:36,967 --> 00:38:42,100
And high-tech submarines
Are being launched from autec.
747
00:38:42,100 --> 00:38:48,367
The united states navy has
All kinds of unusual technology.
748
00:38:48,367 --> 00:38:51,533
It's quite possible
That they are also creating
749
00:38:51,533 --> 00:38:54,933
Anti-gravity type ufo craft.
750
00:38:54,933 --> 00:38:59,533
The idea of making submarines
That can also fly.
751
00:38:59,533 --> 00:39:02,100
These are all things
That the u.S. Navy
752
00:39:02,100 --> 00:39:05,233
Is for sure looking into
And studying.
753
00:39:05,233 --> 00:39:07,567
And it's quite possible
That for decades
754
00:39:07,567 --> 00:39:11,533
They've even had this technology
And have kept it a secret.
755
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:17,567
Gough:
Personally, I don't believe
There is anything other worldly
756
00:39:17,567 --> 00:39:20,300
Going on
In the bermuda triangle.
757
00:39:20,300 --> 00:39:22,833
There have been some
Some fantastic examples
758
00:39:22,833 --> 00:39:26,700
Of lost planes and ships
That are really quite curious.
759
00:39:26,700 --> 00:39:28,400
But the world is a big place.
760
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,500
The oceans are two thirds
Of that world.
761
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:34,733
And we don't understand
Half of what we think we do.
762
00:39:36,867 --> 00:39:38,767
Narrator:
The bermuda triangle
Is one of the most
763
00:39:38,767 --> 00:39:41,633
Enduring and iconic enigmas
Around the world.
764
00:39:41,633 --> 00:39:44,133
It's impossible to deny
That genuine mystery
765
00:39:44,133 --> 00:39:45,667
Surrounds the region.
766
00:39:45,667 --> 00:39:47,733
The disappearance
Of flight 19
767
00:39:47,733 --> 00:39:50,100
Continues to cast a long shadow.
768
00:39:50,100 --> 00:39:53,800
And today, people are still
Vanishing without a trace.
769
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,400
Walters:
I think what's also seductive
About the bermuda triangle
770
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,300
Is that it appeals
To our frustration
771
00:40:00,300 --> 00:40:02,367
When we don't get
The sense of an ending.
772
00:40:02,367 --> 00:40:04,433
And that's why disappearance,
I think,
773
00:40:04,433 --> 00:40:07,433
Is scary on
A very, very deep level.
774
00:40:07,433 --> 00:40:10,833
This idea of people
Neither being dead nor alive,
775
00:40:10,833 --> 00:40:12,633
And we don't know them
To be that,
776
00:40:12,633 --> 00:40:14,933
It is very compelling
And very scary.
777
00:40:14,933 --> 00:40:17,233
It's this idea of people
Being on the threshold.
778
00:40:17,233 --> 00:40:19,267
Liminality is what it's called.
779
00:40:19,267 --> 00:40:21,767
And so therefore,
That is endlessly fascinating
780
00:40:21,767 --> 00:40:23,867
So that there might be
A part of the world
781
00:40:23,867 --> 00:40:26,867
In which you end up
Being neither dead nor alive.
782
00:40:26,867 --> 00:40:30,767
I can see why that is always
Going to be seductive.
783
00:40:30,767 --> 00:40:32,733
Narrator: it is true that
The bermuda triangle
784
00:40:32,733 --> 00:40:36,300
does have a unique meteorology
And dangerous weather patterns
785
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:39,400
Could certainly explain
Some of the disappearances.
786
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,233
There may well be something
Going on, energies,
787
00:40:43,233 --> 00:40:45,000
Different sorts
Of earth energies
788
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,633
That happen to be there
That we haven't proved yet.
789
00:40:49,433 --> 00:40:51,267
Narrator:
But storms and rogue waves
790
00:40:51,267 --> 00:40:54,000
Do not explain
The uso and ufo activity
791
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,900
That has been reported
By highly credible witnesses,
792
00:40:56,900 --> 00:40:59,767
Including civilian
And military pilots.
793
00:40:59,767 --> 00:41:02,767
It is plausible that
Top-secret bases, like autec,
794
00:41:02,767 --> 00:41:06,133
Have been working on advanced
Warfare technology for decades.
795
00:41:06,133 --> 00:41:07,900
And historically,
There is a correlation
796
00:41:07,900 --> 00:41:11,333
Between heightened ufo activity
And the military.
797
00:41:11,333 --> 00:41:15,100
But how far has the u.S. Navy
Taken their top secret projects?
798
00:41:15,100 --> 00:41:16,867
And is it possible
They may have found
799
00:41:16,867 --> 00:41:18,767
And be using alternative power
800
00:41:18,767 --> 00:41:21,467
From the mythical
Lost city of atlantis?
801
00:41:21,467 --> 00:41:24,733
Picknett: it is strange
Because the area does seem
802
00:41:24,733 --> 00:41:29,100
To have some kind of
Relationship with weirdness,
803
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:30,733
And some areas do.
804
00:41:30,733 --> 00:41:33,233
The saying is if that
The veil is thin
805
00:41:33,233 --> 00:41:35,833
And that that there are portals
To another world
806
00:41:35,833 --> 00:41:40,133
Or another dimension
Or another dimension of being.
807
00:41:40,133 --> 00:41:43,100
But it's the whole idea
That there's this this place
808
00:41:43,100 --> 00:41:48,167
That is weird and anything
That's weird can happen there.
809
00:41:48,167 --> 00:41:50,167
Narrator:
Perhaps we will never know.
810
00:41:50,167 --> 00:41:52,933
Humankind has always been
Drawn to and pondered
811
00:41:52,933 --> 00:41:54,500
The unexplained.
812
00:41:54,500 --> 00:41:57,067
There is something primal
Which drives us
813
00:41:57,067 --> 00:42:00,100
To try and understand
The unknowable.
