Columbus and The Triangle

It is said as early as 1492 on Columbus' first journey to the America's that when he passed through the area known now as the "Bermuda Triangle" he witnessed strange events. In his journal he wrote about a "Great Flame of Fire" that streaked accross the sky. Also during the time he was in the Triangle Columbus' journal also talks about a complete compass failure. It is speculated that Columbus was just experiencing a discrepancy between what is called "True North" and "Magnetic North". The light Columbus saw was most likely nothign more than a meteor burning as it entered earth's atmosphere.
