Scientists claim 170mph ‘air bombs’ capable of downing planes and ships could unlock mystery of notorious stretch of sea
Bizarre hexagonal clouds suggest the devastating air bombs could be behind mystery disappearances in the notorious area
STRANGE clouds forming above the Bermuda Triangle could explain why dozens of ships and planes have mysteriously vanished in the notorious patch of sea.
The remarkable new theory suggests the clouds are linked to 170mph "air bombs" - capable of bringing down planes and ships.
Using radar satellite imagery, they discovered bizarre "hexagonal" shaped clouds between 20 and 50miles wide forming over the dodgy patch of water.
Meterologist Dr Randy Cerveny said: "The satellite imagery is really bizarre... the hexagonal shapes of the cloud formations.
"These types of hexagonal shapes in the ocean are in essence air bombs. They're formed by what is called microbursts and they're blasts of air."
They blasts of air are so powerful they can reach 170mph - a hurricane-like force easily capable of sinking ships and downing planes.
For centuries the notorious Bermuda Triangle has been linked with a high number of unexplained disappearances of aircraft and ships in its waters.
Located between Miami, Puerto Rico and the island of Bermuda, the reasons behind their loss have baffled researchers for decades.
