NOAA National Ocean Service, 2010. _NOAA Ocean Facts (oceanservice.noaa.gov)_. NOAA's statement on the Triangle, posted 4 January 2010 and unaltered since. Lists the supernatural and scientific proposals; names hurricanes, the Gulf Stream, shallow Caribbean waters and compass variation as environmental factors; reports that the Navy and Coast Guard see no supernatural cause, that no official map delimits the area and that the US Board on Geographic Names does not recognise the name; concludes that there is no evidence that disappearances occur more often there than in any other large, well-travelled area of ocean. **Bermuda Triangle** Web pageChecked against the original0 ## What it's used for here The US government position and the source of the "no excess" claim as an official statement. ## Cited by on this site 16 records [Navigation errors, including misreading compass variation where magnetic and true north align, cause…](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/answers/ANS0D667BJR3Z3P/navigation-errors-including-misreading-compass-variation) Answer ANS [Storms and sudden severe seas, from hurricanes and Gulf Stream weather, account for most losses without trace.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/answers/ANS0D667ABP02ZE/storms-and-sudden-severe-seas-from-hurricanes-and-gulf) Answer ANS [The loss rate per unit of traffic is no higher than in comparable busy seas.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/answers/ANS0D6672HP3R8M/the-loss-rate-per-unit-of-traffic-is-no-higher-than-in) Answer ANS [The rate is somewhat higher than in quieter seas, for natural reasons (hurricanes, the Gulf Stream, shallow…](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/answers/ANS0D66740J7G5F/the-rate-is-somewhat-higher-than-in-quieter-seas-for-natural) Answer ANS [Most Atlantic hurricanes cross the area; the Gulf Stream can cause sudden violent weather; island waters are…](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/evidence/EVD0D66748C36XT/most-atlantic-hurricanes-cross-the-area-the-gulf-stream-can) Evidence EVD [Most Atlantic hurricanes pass through the area and the Gulf Stream can produce sudden violent weather.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/evidence/EVD0D667AKG50RM/most-atlantic-hurricanes-pass-through-the-area-and-the-gulf) Evidence EVD [NOAA calls methane eruption grounded in science but not in evidence.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/evidence/EVD0D667BAY4EGV/noaa-calls-methane-eruption-grounded-in-science-but-not-in) Evidence EVD [NOAA finds no evidence that disappearances are more frequent there than in any other large, well-travelled…](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/evidence/EVD0D6672SG5Z64/noaa-finds-no-evidence-that-disappearances-are-more-frequent) Evidence EVD [NOAA notes evidence that a compass may point to true rather than magnetic north in parts of the area.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/evidence/EVD0D667BTJ698A/noaa-notes-evidence-that-a-compass-may-point-to-true-rather) Evidence EVD [No published study reports a traffic-normalised loss rate for the Triangle.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/evidence/EVD0D6673RR0BFS/no-published-study-reports-a-traffic-normalised-loss-rate) Evidence EVD [Official and insurer assessments find no excess.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/evidence/EVD0D6674ZT3JE2/official-and-insurer-assessments-find-no-excess) Evidence EVD [NOAA posts its Bermuda Triangle statement](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/events/EVT0D6670BC6RZP/noaa-posts-its-bermuda-triangle-statement) EVT [The Bermuda Triangle](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle) The mystery article MYS [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/organisations/ORG0D666YMP2MYJ/national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration) ORG [Do ships and aircraft vanish in the Bermuda Triangle more often than traffic and conditions would predict?](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/questions/QST0D6671JE0Y7K/do-ships-and-aircraft-vanish-in-the-bermuda-triangle-more) Question QST [Which natural hazards account for losses without trace in this area?](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/bermuda-triangle/questions/QST0D66729W1W9T/which-natural-hazards-account-for-losses-without-trace-in) Question QST ## Cite it ``` NOAA National Ocean Service (2010).
