The legendary stretch of water in the Atlantic Ocean has become a hive for conspiracy theories over the years after a number of aircraft and ships disappeared in mysterious circumstances.
Explorer Darrell Miklos, 55, decided to
investigate the shipwrecks in the region on the latest episode of Discovery
Channel docuseries Cooper’s Treasure.
He used maps created by close friend and NASA
astronaut Gordon Cooper to dive to the precise locations of the shipwrecks.
And he was shocked by what he found.
Footage taken from an episode shows the moment
Darrell descends into the water in a submersible.
Something then catches his eye and he “sees
something that shouldn’t be there”.
He is confronted with a huge unidentified
submerged object (USO) which has 15 300ft long obtrusions jutting from its
side.
Recalling the moment he found the structure,
the explorer told MailOnline: “It was a formation unlike anything I've ever
seen related to shipwreck material, it was too big for that.
“It was also something that was completely
different from anything that I've seen that was made by nature.
“It's
almost like there are five arms coming out of a steep wall cliff and each one
of these is the size of a gun on a battleship.
“They're enormous and then there's five over
here and five over there, 15 in total.”
When he got back to the surface, Darrell
quickly dug into Gordon’s files and maps to find further clues.
He found the astronaut had written
“unidentified object” on the chart of the area he had been investigating.
“Then it made sense to me why it wasn't
identified as a shipwreck,” he added.
“He had to mean it might be something from
another world.
“Gordon believed in aliens. He believed that
we had visitors from other planets and he also believed that a lot of these
things landed in this particular part of the world.”
The finding could support theories that alien
activity is behind disappearances in the Triangle.
Also known as the Devil’s Triangle, it has
been linked to several unexplainable incidents over the years.
The Triangle lies in a section of the Atlantic
Ocean that covers 440,000 miles of sea.
It is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the
world, with vessels crossing through to get to ports in North America, South
America, Europe and the Caribbean.
When Christopher Columbus sailed on his first
voyage to the New World, he claimed to see a great flame of fire crash into the
sea one night and that a strange light appeared in the distance a few weeks
later.
One of the most famous mysteries was the
disappearance of Flight 19 when five Avenger Torpedo Bombers vanished over the
Triangle on December 5, 1945.
All 14 men on the flight disappeared without a
trace and a Martin Mariner Flying Boat also vanished during the search with 13
men on board.
At least 1,000 lives have been lost in the
last 100 years.
On average, four aircraft and 20 yachts go
missing in the area every year.
Veteran diver Darrell made his discovery
during a hunt for the wreck of English ships related to the 16th century
British sea captain Sir Francis Drake.
