THE MYSTERIES OF THE SARGASSOS:
The Sea Of Fear...
Called from the name of particular one floating alga, Sargassi's Sea so is one inexhaustible source of mysteries, first among everybody the reason which the eels of all the world choose him for as place which be reproduced by performing long migrations to catch up him in.
The first observer modern, Cristoforo Colombo, noticed the ships in means to verdant water of algae in his journey her worrying dead calm that was leaving services.
From were here born legends according to what Sargassi's Sea had infested ghost by ships, you entrap by the algae and populate from the skeletons with sailors starvation deaths.
His left reputation became again in height when modern ships also started disappearing you without leaving track.

The ship German Freya, Manzanillo party the 3 October, is found it after a few damaged and abandoned, days but with the intact load.
The last annotation left by the captain on the border diary goes up again at 4 October.
One does not know where I can have finished the crew. The mystery of the Freya, as those of the Rosalie and the Mary Celeste, remains explanations.
Would seem to, sometimes, the of a few boats in navigation in this area abandon the means precipitately without tenders and supplies, how if sailors were terrorized.
But from what?
While the last phases of the First World War are being fought, the supply ship of American navy USS Cyclops, sailed with course towards Norfolk, disappear after a short time of navigation.
Some message was not sent radio to signal situations of emergency, nor any request for help.
Of other part, the conditions of the time are excellent and, as they will prove to be following investigations, no hostile submarine is in navigation in those waters.
So excluded the bad weather and a torpedo German, verified the absence of mines in the zone, the United States navy has never found a convincing explanation of the disappearance of some ship and some his 309 sailors.

The submarine USS Scorpion disappears suddenly from the control monitor and, set to him, a whole crew composed by 99 people.
Everything lets think I was struck by a torpedo, but nothing justifies such hypothesis.
The wreckage of the Scorpion, unlike many ships of surface, will come located after months to the margins of Sargassi's Sea, on a deep depth beyond 3000 meters.
. The causes of sinking are still unknown. One does not know what happens to the boats and their crews in this stroke of sea, but disappearances count by now to tens. And, how if that was not enough, after the Second World War the phenomenon itself started it also showing it with the planes, that in a few cases are missing as mysteriously in nothing.
Often, in opportunity of these episodes, observed strange lights were in the sky or you alienate objects in navigation sott' water, to sky-high speed.
Someone starts talking about UFO, but a hypothesis stays alone.
