The Bermuda Triangle

by Adi-Kent Thomas Jeffrey

Since Columbus made his journey to the new world and witnessed a fireball in the sky above Bermuda's waters, the Triangle has been a scene of unexplained disaster. From the Sea Venture lost in the seventeenth century to the nuclear sub that disappeared in 1968, the mysteries have coaxed theories from scientists and super-naturalists alike.

Is there some demoniacal force lurking in the region? Some hidden power which annihilates all who come within its boundaries? A type of gravity presently unknown to us? Giant whirlpools which suck men and ships to the bottom of the sea? UFOs transplanting bodies to alien planets? How much can be explained by time-space warps?

Adi-Kent Thomas Jeffrey delves into the secrets of this ancient mystery in the first UK edition of her remarkable book.

Paranormal Researcher Adi-Kent Thomas Jeffrey, having previously penned books on ghosts and other anomalies, actually wrote this slim paperback on The Bermuda Triangle before Charles Berlitz's book of the same title. Sadly for her, it didn't attract a publisher until Berlitz and other Triangle authors made it into a phenomenon. It's just as well, for this is another pat piece of maritime hokum with the familiar stories and pseudo-scientific theories rehashed at mercifully short length. Credit Jeffrey for a clear, consistent chronological narrative, a refreshing break from the often-random organization of other Triangle books. Otherwise, it's about what you'd expect from a book of its genre: cartoonishly invented conversations and historical incidents, digressions into bizarro theories about psychic powers and gravitational fields, blowing banal tragedies like the USS Scorpion's 1968 sinking into epochal mysteries. Banal, boilerplate bunkum barely besting the genre's nadir, John Wallace Spencer's lamentably lame Limbo of the Lost.

This is an older book on the Bermuda Triangle, so while there were some interesting accounts, definitely nothing new. A bit drier in terms of writing style, though there were lots! of! exclamation! marks!!! So the author was clearly very excited. :)

Included is a map of the Bermuda Triangle, which, as you might expect, is mostly just blue.

Some interesting and bizarre theories are definitely put forth in this book, which is from the same era and has much of the same sensibilities as Chariot of the Gods.

It's all about the aliens, people!

Fascinating to me that even though this book was written in the early 70s, we seem to have no more knowledge or any sort of plausible explanation as to what the hell is actually going on in the Bermuda Triangle. Also, I found it interesting (and terrifying, but that's just me) that there's a total of 10 of these zones. TEN!!! Horrifying!

Interesting to read the original edition of this. The description for this one though is incorrect. It says this is the UK edition and it is not. It is the First Edition from the United States.

Good starter book on The Bermuda Triangle, much better than I thought it was going to be...Well written with a folksy tone to it...The events were covered chronologically with a quick explanation as to what took place. I further researched a couple of the events and found the book to be truthful...One minor spoiler, I didn't know vice-president Arron Burr's daughter was lost in The Bermuda Triangle....This book is a good reference for further research on the subject...3.5 outta 5.0...

This very interesting book takes the reader through the mysteries of disappeared ships and airplanes in the Bermuda Triangle.

It had some interesting stories regarding incidents in the Bermuda Triangle, but I wanted to read more about the theories that explain or at least try to explain what happens there. It mentions some but at a really surface level. If I knew that I would have not picked it up. Not the worst but I believe there must be better media about the Bermuda Triangle out there.

Bermuda Triangle by Adi-Thomas Jeffrey is a great book. It is about many different ships, planes, and submarines that have disappeared. In the book it talks about the 5 dive bombers that went missing. Also it talks about how this one guy might have flown through a worm hole. i recommend this book because of how it tells lots of information. I recommend this book to anyone who likes mysteries or like nonfiction books.

The book that created an entire minor industry around some sketchily reported "facts", assembled in a highly credulous manner! Where would the 70's have been without it? Ahhhh, but the floor of the ocean is littered with human bones....

This was a very thought provoking book telling instances of the many airplanes, ships, submarines that seem to have disappeared into oblivion when crossing through a triangular shaped area of the Atlantic ocean. A very interesting short read that just leaves you more curious than when you started.

This is a great book with such fantastic stories. It really made me think about the subject.

Pretty good accounting of some of the strange occurrences around the Triangle. I feel like some of the language is sensationalist at times in a hokey way. A quick and fun read.

I haven't read this book and probably won't, but for eleven cents at the local thrift store I couldn't pass it up. It's a super-deluxe little production with a cool die-cut skull cover, color fold-out map of the triangle AND photos. I only wish it was 1974 so I could send in $2.95 to the offer in the back and get a poster-sized reproduction of the map.
