Scientists might have solved the mystery of Bermuda Triangle located between Miami, Puerto Rico and the island of Bermuda.

Known to be a notorious patch of sea where many ships and planes have mysteriously vanished, Bermuda Triangle has been feared by sailors and considered a cursed area by paranormal enthusiasts.

But scientists have come up with a new theory that suggests that hexagonal clouds forming above the Bermuda Triangle create terrifying air bombs with winds at 273 kilometre per hour.

The air bombs in the 5,00,000 km square patch in the North Atlantic Ocean are capable of bringing down planes and ships. More than 70 planes and hundreds of ships have already been disappeared in the Triangle.

Scientists have discovered using radar satellite imagery that hexagonal shaped clouds that are 20 to 50 miles wide form over the patch of water.

"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", said Meterologist Dr Randy Cerveny as reported by The Sun .

The powerful blasts can reach 273 kilometre per hour and has a hurricane-like force which is capable of sinking ships and drowning planes.
