===Triangle area=== Sand's article in ''Fate'' described the area as "a watery triangle bounded roughly by [[Florida]], [[Bermuda]] and [[Puerto Rico]]".<ref name=Sand/>{{rp|12}} The ''Argosy'' article by Gaddis further delineated the boundaries,<ref name="Gaddis,1964"/> giving its [[Vertex (geometry)|vertices]] as [[Miami]], [[San Juan, Puerto Rico|San Juan]], and Bermuda. Subsequent writers did not necessarily follow this definition.<ref name="navy,1996">{{cite web |title=Frequently Asked Questions: Bermuda Triangle Fact Sheet |year=1998 |url=http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/Reading_Room/UFO/195.pdf |publisher=US Department of Defense |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161121111220/http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/Reading_Room/UFO/195.pdf |archive-date=21 November 2016}}</ref> Some writers gave different boundaries and vertices to the triangle, with the total area varying from {{convert|1.3|to|3.9|e6km2|abbr=unit}}.<ref name=navy,1996/> "Indeed, some writers even stretch it as far as the [[Ireland|Irish coast]]," according to a 1977 BBC program.<ref name="NOVA,1976">{{cite episode |series=[[Nova (American TV program)|NOVA]] / [[Horizon (UK TV series)|Horizon]] |title=The Case of the Bermuda Triangle |airdate=27 June 1976 |network=PBS |url=https://archive.org/details/caseofthebermudatrianglereel1}}</ref> Consequently, the determination of which accidents occurred inside the triangle depends on which writer reported them.<ref name=navy,1996/>
