The Bermuda Triangle was, as its name suggests, a triangular shaped region, in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and surface vessels allegedly disappeared mysteriously.
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
Sometime in the 1490s, a Dalek saucer crash landed on an island, creating the Bermuda Triangle. It was thought that the ship caused magnetic disturbance and navigation instrument failure in nearby aircraft and sea vessels. Stories of strange animals and dancing lights were also linked to the area. (PROSE: Bermuda Triangle Incident)
One account says that the creation of the Bermuda Triangle was apparently caused by the Seventh Doctor and the Sleeze Brothers causing the Monk's TARDIS to implode. (COMIC: Follow That TARDIS!)
In 1918, an alien ship crash landed on the planet Earth where its Octopod pilot remained in the oceans of the Bermuda Triangle. Around that time, it attacked the USS Cyclops whose human crew believed it to be a giant squid. At the time, the Tenth Doctor and Heather McCrimmon had used the TARDIS to travel to that period where they discovered the true reason why the Cyclops had sunk. They managed to temporarily stop it by throwing manganese ore from the cargo bay on it. This disrupted the Octopod's magnetic field, forcing it back into the sea. The temporary distraction allowed them to escape and the Doctor revealed that he could not save the ship as it was part of history and thus its destruction would remain to mankind a mystery. (COMIC: Cyclops)
On the morning of 12 September 1958, Flight Commander Benjamin K. Hooper briefed a squadron of F4U Corsairs on the strange disappearances in the Triangle. The squadron reported a strange disturbance or ripple in the air. The Daleks rose up from the island where the rusting Dalek craft had crash-landed, opening fire on the squadron, tearing the planes apart. The sea became a military graveyard, full of the Daleks' victims. Hooper later recorded this in his personal journal, praying that these monsters stayed in the isolated stretch of ocean and none of his men would ever have to see them again.

Jenny Nettles once reported that the Bermuda Triangle was actually a square. (AUDIO: Kaleidoscope)
Sarah Jane Smith headlined a story about the mysterious destruction of oil rigs in the Scottish highlands "Another Bermuda Triangle?". (TV: Terror of the Zygons)
The Fourteenth Doctor once claimed that, in an earlier incarnation, he dealt with the Brigade of Gübernators for good in the Bermuda Triangle in 1976, which seemingly brought an end to its supposedly supernatural properties. (COMIC: Untitled [+]Loading...["Untitled (DWM 598 comic story)"])
