阅读理解 　　One of the greatest mysteries of the world, for which scientists have so far been unable to find any satisfactory explanation, is the Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角), sometimes called “The Graveyard(墓地)of the Atlantic．” 　　This is an area of the Western Atlantic between Bermuda and Florida, roughly triangular in shape, where since 1945 at least a hundred ships and planes and over a thousand people have disappeared．No wreckage(残骸)has been found, no bodies, life belts or any other evidence of disaster．It is as if these planes, ships and people had never existed．In some cases a routine radio message has been received from aircraft reporting everything in order a few minutes before all contact was lost, in others a weak S．O．S．message has been picked up and, in perfect weather, there is suddenly some fog．In the extraordinary case of five U．S．navy planes disappearing on a routine mission from Florida, the rescue plane sent to locate them vanished also．There have been references to the curious white light or haze(烟雾)which is a feature of the sea in part of the area, and it is interesting to note that not only was this light, or streaks(条纹)of light, observed by the astronauts(航天员)on their way to space, but was also noted by Columbus, five centuries ago．Whether this light has any connection with the mysterious disappearances is unknown－it is just another curious circumstance as yet unexplained． (1) What is the most puzzling feature of the incidents that have occurred in the Bermuda Triangle area?
