Dragon's Triangle – A mystic realm where voyagers seldom return in Japan

The Dragon's Triangle (Tam giác Rồng) or The Devil's Sea is located 100 km south of Tokyo, Japan's capital. This area is consistently ranked among the regions with the strongest electromagnetic waves, as per Marineinsight.

This zone forms a triangle between Japan, the Bonin Islands, and a large part of the Philippine Sea. It is often referred to as the Bermuda of the Pacific.

The name Dragon's Triangle originates from a legend dating back 1,000 years. According to Chinese folklore, beneath these waters resides a colossal dragon. It supposedly engulfs every passing vessel whenever hunger strikes.

In this maritime region, numerous inexplicable phenomena have unfolded: mysterious disappearances of boats and airplanes, sightings of ghost ships wandering in this area are not uncommon.

Vessels entering here often experience compass malfunction, radio communication failures, and signal losses. Additionally, they frequently encounter large waves, sea fog, whirlpools, and thick mist.

In the 1200s, Kublai Khan attempted to traverse the Devil's Sea, resulting in many ships from his fleet mysteriously vanishing, accompanied by the enigmatic disappearance of over 40,000 soldiers. In the early 1800s, seafarers reported sighting a mysterious woman walking on the deck of a ship.

In 1952, the Japanese government sent the research vessel Kaio Maru No. 5 to investigate the mysteries of this sea. However, the ship and its 31 crew members never returned from that journey. This led the Japanese government to declare the Dragon's Triangle unsafe for maritime travel and cargo transport in the 1950s.

In the 1989 release 'The Dragon’s Triangle,' author Charles Berlitz pointed out that from 1952 to 1954, Japan lost 5 warships and 700 individuals in this maritime region.

According to statistics from the Maritime Security Division of the Japanese Maritime Safety Agency, from 1963 to 1972, 161 ships went missing. The Devil's Sea has long been a maritime horror, haunting sailors in Japan and around the world.

However, in 1995, Larry Kussche published another book, revealing that the ships Berlitz mentioned were actually fishing boats, and some disappearances occurred outside the Dragon's Triangle. The Japanese research vessel that vanished sank due to the impact of an underwater volcano.

Larry also pointed out that the Dragon's Triangle is an area with active volcanoes. Due to volcanic activity and geological changes, many islands in this area suddenly disappeared, while new islands emerged.

The mystery of this place has attracted numerous researchers. They argue that environmental changes are also among the causes of these mysterious disappearances. The Dragon's Triangle is not officially depicted on any global map with accurate size or circumference. Despite many scientists explaining the phenomena here, some still believe that the Dragon's Triangle harbors some supernatural force, such as UFOs, USOs (Unidentified Submersible Objects)...
