The mystery behind the missing ships and planes in Bermuda Triangle may have been finally solved. The clouds forming above the Bermuda Triangle could be the reason for the mysterious disappearance of 75 planes and hundreds of ships.

Scientists said that the hexagonal clouds that produce horrifying air bombs with winds of 170 mph could be blamed for the disappearance of the ships and planes. They also found that the stormy blasts can spin the ships into the sea and make planes collapsing down into the sea, according to Daily Mail.

Randy Cerveny, a meteorologist, explained that these types of hexagonal shapes above the ocean are in essence air bombs. He further explained that they are formed by what are called microbursts and they're the blast of air that comes down out of the bottom of a cloud and then hit the ocean and then generate waves that can sometimes be huge in size as they start to interact with each other.

New York Post reports that the researchers found the unusual hexagonal shaped clouds between 20 and 50 miles wide shaping above the dangerous patch of water using a radar satellite imagery. Dr. Steve Miller, a satellite meteorologist at Colorado said that you don't typically see straight edges with clouds. "Most of the time, clouds are random in their distribution."

The Bermuda Triangle is also referred to as the Devil's Triangle. The boundaries of the Bermuda Triangle have three vertices namely in Miami, Florida Peninsula, in San Juan, Puerto Rico and on the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda. This area is most traveled by ships in the world, wherein the ships often cross through it for ports in Americas, Caribbean islands, and Europe. It is reported that several ships and planes mysteriously disappeared in the triangle.
