A series of very strange events accompanied a UFO sighting in the notorious region back in 1978.

There are few mysteries as enduring and as well known as the Bermuda Triangle - an expanse of ocean in the North Atlantic that spans the area between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico.

Over the years the region has become synonymous with the unexplained disappearances of ships and airplanes - often with no trace of them or their crews ever being found.

In a recent article, the Greek Reporter dug up an account by a merchant mariner by the name of Spetzos who experienced something very strange while passing through the area.
