The Most Terrifying Photos From the Dark Depths of the Ocean

First Recorded Instances

In his voyage to the New World, Christopher Columbus himself encountered the Bermuda Triangle. Inside the triangle, Columbus reported that he saw a ball of flame fall into the water. This was presumably a meteor or a comet that fell to the water. Columbus also reported he saw a strange light appear in the distance a few weeks later, and documented how he had erratic compass readings in the area.
