Sorry for the over-the-top title, but I couldn't help it. Anyway, in the "Further responses" section, it goes into detail about the (nonmysterious) sinking of the V.A.Fogg. There's a specific line about "one Triangle author's claim that all the bodies had vanished, with the exception of the captain, who was found sitting in his cabin at his desk, clutching a coffee cup", with a source link to a book by John Wallace Spencer. The issue here is that, according to the source information provided, that book was published in 1969--but the article claims the V.A.Fogg sank in 1972. I don't doubt that Spencer's book includes a claim that a ship was found with no crew except for the captain (and I don't doubt that the facts tell us otherwise), but Spencer can't POSSIBLY have been writing about a shipwreck three years BEFORE IT HAPPENED. Does anyone have access to the book, maybe, and can clear up what wreck Spencer was writing about? 2601:408:C404:3E5F:28D6:A3A4:C7C6:2980 (talk) 17:47, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
After further research, the book came out in 1973. That makes a lot more sense. The page is semi-protected, so can someone who can edit the page edit the year of the book's publication? First in the source link, and then again in the bottom list of books which are the only source of some of these mysteries. 2601:408:C404:3E5F:28D6:A3A4:C7C6:2980 (talk) 17:50, 20 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Whoop, seems the book was originally published in 1969 and republished in 1972. Does that need to be reflected in the thingy? 2601:408:C402:D483:8475:D0C3:9795:AFB7 (talk) 04:57, 22 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

The journal of Columbus was the first noted statement that something was unusal in the area known as The Bermuda Triangle. He noted odd readings from his compass, rising of the sea, and a mysterious light. 2A02:C7C:8286:6100:6B8B:C9A9:68CD:C9CA (talk) 22:09, 1 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

The Human Error section is very strange. It doesn't seem relevant or contribute anything useful to the article. The last sentence seems especially irrelevant. Am I missing something? DJ Craig (talk) 03:41, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
The section title may be a bit misleading. It appears the point being made is that decision making by people (e.g. the ship captain who "sailed into the teeth of a storm") is a factor. I can review the cited sourcing and look to refine that section, in the next day or two. Dmoore5556 (talk) 04:56, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Another theory is that an asteroid had once landed in the bermuda triangle . Fragmenta could cause electromagnetic disturbances long after initial impact . 41.122.2.255 (talk) 21:46, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
