The Appearance Of 'New Island' Has Deepened The Mystery Of The Bermuda Triangle

People love getting involved in the mysterious and wondrous things in the world, no matter how stupid they seem.

One of those topics is the Bermuda Triangle, an area where boats and planes are reported to have gone missing. Now, apparently, the mystery surrounding the area in the North Atlantic Ocean has 'thickened', due to an island sporadically appearing.

The island is said to be off the tip of Cape Point in Buxton, North Carolina, near the Triangle, The Sun reports.

It surfaced recently and was dubbed Shelley Island due to the vast amount of shells covering the sand. It is one mile long and more than 400 feet wide.

The 500,000 square kilometres area in the North Atlantic Ocean has been blamed for the loss of at least 75 planes and hundreds of ships. It had never previously been properly explained what had happened to the aircraft and vessels.

Scientists think that hexagonal clouds that create 170mph 'wind air bombs' are to blame. Apparently, these 'bombs' are powerful enough to flip over ships and cause planes to fall from the sky, the Mirror reports.
