（导读：本文摘自《远古外星人》第二季。百慕大三角也称百慕大魔鬼三角。在这个地区，已有数以百计的船只和飞机失事，数以千计的人在此丧生。）
Certain places around the globe have surprised and confused scientists for many years. Perhaps the most famous of all the world’s mysterious places is the Bermuda Triangle.
Planes have disappeared and different kinds of unfamiliar lights have been seen. Ships have shown up completely empty. Records of them exist， but now they have disappeared， in fair weather！ Many strange things happen in this place.
The Bermuda Triangle is not only a modern 21st century mystery. It has been a mystery since people first started going into this area.
It began with Christopher Columbus. When he went into the Bermuda Triangle in 1492， his compass began working funny. The following night he saw a large fireball rise out of the ocean and shoot off into the night sky.
About 450 years after Columbus， on December 5， 1945， the U.S.military experienced the Bermuda Triangle’s most confusing mystery. At 2：00 in the afternoon， five U.S. Navy airplanes flew from Florida on a regular training exercise. Not long into the exercise， all five planes disappeared. The mystery increased when the military sent out another plane to find them and it， too， disappeared. Six planes， all flown by skilled pilots， had gone into nowhere.
Over the years， few have lived to tell of any strange experiences that have occurred to them in the Bermuda Triangle. American pilot Bruce Gernon is an exception. In 1970， Gernon， his father and a business partner were flying from the Bahamas to Florida when Gernon reported seeing a strange cloud directly out in front of their plane.Then， the cloud formed a huge circle and started getting smaller fast. When they went into the circle， an unbelievable thing happened. There were lines moving slowly counterclockwise. “I came across some extreme electricity. There were like lights going on and off， and all I could see was this strange grayish-yellowish cloud.” Geron said. When they finally got out of the circle， Geron radioed the air traffic station， and he was identified over Miami， “I couldn’t believe it， because I’d only been flying for 33 minutes. It should have been more like an hour and three minutes.” said Geron.
Many people believe we have been visited in the past by aliens. Could a better explanation of alien visitation unlock the secrets behind some of the world’s most mysterious places？
