Hang on a sec ...
<b>Mystech</b> and <b>Kaaras</b>, how about this?
Ever heard of the art of misdirection? Consider a magician as he preoccupies you with his sleight of hand tricks, while at the same time, kifing your watch. He misdirects with his one hand, while his other takes what he's really after. The thing with magicians, though, is that they'll return your watch. The thing with the Bermuda Triangle, though, is that it is <i>not</i> the focal point for strange events.
The Bermuda Triangle, after gaining unheard-of fame and tourism spots due to the disappearance of five fighter planes, has gradually become the most potent source of misdirection. As Kaaras said, planes and boats get lost elsewhere in the ocean, but precisely because the Triangle conjures in the imagination the idea of a hidden Atlantis or some supernatural force residing within its angular formations, people will look <i>to</i> the Triangle ... and <i>ignore</i> information that comes elsewhere. The Triangle is the veritable Black Hole of supernatural phenomena--it swallows up and eclipses all other dubious reports of interdimensional news precisely because it was <i>intended</i> to.
The funny thing about the Triangle, though, is its double-redundancy factor. The Triangle <i>draws</i> information and sources and supernatural researchers to its site in order to find or confirm sitings and other such phenomena, yet at the same time it draws <i>away</i> those same researchers from the <b>right</b> locations. So, though a legitimate siting may yet be discovered over <b>here</b>, because of the pulling, enigmatic power of the Triangle, validators are directed to the Triangle over <b>there</b>. The d-r factor comes into play in this case, because, once researchers realize their mistake, they will completely abandon the Bermuda Triangle and will, instead, search all paranormal phenomena where the Bermuda Triangle is <i>NOT</i>. The seeders of the theory of the Triangle were, indeed, intelligent. By eventually drawing attention away from the Triangle, the Triangle will eventually become the focal point of all legitimate paranormal experiences. Sort of like the boy that cries wolf. Cry wolf, the villagers come running, but there's no wolf. Cry wolf long enough, the villagers will stop running, but the poor little boy will be confronted by an actual wolf!
Kaaras may be right on Atlantis, though. The coral system within the parameters of the Triangle is undergoing a sloughing period most likely, which, given the time it will probably take for researchers to become completely fed up with the lack of validation from the Triangle and move to other areas, may mean that Atlantis will be reborn. But I'm not sure about this last part.
