Can The Gigantic Siberian Crater Solve The Bermuda Mystery?

MessageToEagle.com – Earlier this year several enormous craters were discovered in Siberia. There were a number of theories and speculations as to their origins. The craters did not appear to be natural formations.

Now, according to a new theory some scientists suggest these remarkable craters could solve the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle and explain why planes and boasts have vanished in the region.

At the moment, scientists believe these mysterious gigantic craters were caused by the explosion of gas underground.

Heating from above the surface due to unusually warm climatic conditions, and from below, due to geological fault lines, led to a huge release of gas hydrates.
The explanation for the formation of this crater might also explain the disappearance of boats and planes in the area referred to as the Bermuda Triangle, according to the experts.

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean. The Bermuda Triangle is not a place you will find on any official map, but according to some people who have been there, you will feel it when you have crossed the line. Ever since a magazine coined the phrase “Bermuda Triangle” in 1964, this mysterious place has continued to attract attention.

The area stretches from the British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic Ocean to the Florida coast, to Puerto Rico.

Russian scientist Igor Yeltsov, the deputy head of the Trofimuk Institute, said: “There is a version that the Bermuda Triangle is a consequence of gas hydrates reactions.

They start to actively decompose with methane ice turning into gas. It happens in an avalanche-like way, like a nuclear reaction, producing huge amounts of gas.

“That makes the ocean heat up and ships sink in its waters mixed with a huge proportion of gas.

The same [method] leads to the air getting supersaturated with methane, which makes the atmosphere extremely turbulent and leads to aircraft crashes.”

Reporting the claims, the journal Science in Siberia dubbed the craters ‘a distant relative of the Bermuda Triangle’.

Scientists conducted detailed research at the crater, including taking samples to a depth of 985ft (300 metres).

“We checked magnetic and radiation backgrounds, and found no abnormalities there,” said Oleg Kushnarenko, chief engineer of a mission which lasted four days.

Mr Potapov said that their theory will be studied further.

“We all have to keep suggesting hypotheses and testing them,’ he said. ‘The crater itself is incredibly interesting from a scientific point of view.”

He added there was a need to identify other areas in the world where such underground gas explosions can occur.

“We must also pay attention to areas where the same thing might potentially happen,'” he said.

Mr Kushnarenko also revealed that security concerns meant the research team was not allowed to go inside the crater which is around 230ft (70 metres) deep.

“There was a great temptation to go down the crater, but the Institute didn’t give the go ahead, saying it was too risky,” he said.
