I am familliar with the occurence over land and it is strong enough to bend young trees over at their stump.
However, the amount of force required to create a rogue wave is immense. We are talking hundreds of tons of mass being shifted in an instant. I don't see anything from the sky with that capability except a hurricane which could easily be seen on doppler.
The effect of waves compounding and syncing in order to create the rogue wave is still an unproven theory.
The one thing we do know is that rogue waves exist.

That was the point I was going to bring up.
I have a theory I am working on that explains the effects via a type of induced gravitational anomaly. The thing is, I have not been able to see how the induced fields are created. If the downdraft mentioned were heavily ionized, however, that could be the cause I have been looking for. It requires a specific geometrical arrangement of the electrical and associated magnetic fields that could be created by ionic dissipation under a sufficiently powerful downburst.
So now I'm wondering: could the turbulence creating the downdrafts also be ionizing them? Or is there another process contributing to the effect?

Kusche's Theory
In 1975 Larry Kusche, a librarian at Arizona State University, reached a totally different conclusion. Kusche decided to investigate the claims made by these articles and books. What he found he published in his own book entitled The Bermuda Triangle Mystery-Solved. Kusche had carefully dug into records other writers had neglected. He found that many of the strange accidents were not so strange after all. Often a Triangle writer had noted a ship or plane had disappeared in "calms seas" when the record showed a raging storm had been in progress. Others said ships had "mysteriously vanished" when their remains had actually been found and the cause of their sinking explained. In one case a ship listed missing in the Triangle actually had disappeared in the Pacific Ocean some 3,000 miles away! The author had confused the name of the Pacific port the ship had left with a city of the same name on the Atlantic coast.
More significantly, a check of Lloyd's of London's accident records by the editor of Fate in 1975 showed that the Trianglewas no more dangerous than any other part of the ocean. U.S. Coast Guard records confirmed this and since that time no good arguments have ever been made to refute those statistics. So many argue that the Bermuda Triangle mystery has disappeared, in the same way many of its supposed victims vanished.

I would still think there would still be a trace of wreckage left behind. Not necessarily in the spot where the ship or plane went down.
How do scientists explain this mystery? ...

That's where my research has stalled. I have spent years trying to figure out how to do it, and how to pay for the needed apparatus.
If a microburst were to contain charged ions, however, the dissipation of a high-enough energy microburst could be sufficient. The effect would be short-lived, however.
A healthy dose of skepticism is a good thing in investigation, but blind skepticism is not. The sheer number of reports of instrumentation anomalies seems to indicate something unusual is happening sporadically in the area.
