Whatever happened to Flight 19―five Navy bombers that vanished on a routine training mission―and the untold numbers of others who have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle? What can we learn from intrepid adventurers like Christopher Columbus, Charles Lindbergh, and Bruce Gernon―the co-author of this book―who survived frightening encounters in the Triangle and lived to tell the tale? The Fog presents pilot Bruce Gernon’s groundbreaking new theory of the Bermuda Triangle, based upon his own firsthand experiences, eyewitness reports from other close-call Triangle survivors, and leading scientific research. Gernon believes that a rare natural phenomenon may be behind many of the seemingly paranormal happenings in the Triangle, causing time distortions, pilot disorientation, and equipment malfunctions. But the notorious Bermuda Triangle hasn’t given up all its secrets. The Fog also explores the Triangle’s connection to UFOs, a secret navy base, and a possible link to a vanished ancient civilization.

An interesting read and I have seen the pilot on the Discovery channel. You have to keep an open mind to read this type of book. There are many strange things that go on in the world and this is only one of them. I don't believe the Bermuda Triangle has any supernatural powers to it, as in the Devil, but I do believe there is a natural phenomenon going on that mankind lacks sufficient knowledge of yet. It could be the meeting of Earths magnetic lines; space anomalies like worm holes or very likely the government playing with something they shouldn't be. The idea of the government using time travel to its advantage is scary. Any disruption of the space time continuum could be disastrous for mankind.
Put on my desk by my boss with a "thought you might like this" sticker, so didn't really have a lot of choice...interesting concept that would have made for a decent article somewhere, but not nearly enough to fill an entire book; and so there's way too much filler here on the history of every -- and I mean every -- lost ship or airplane or vaguely suspicious happening to ever occur anywhere near the Caribbean.
If you're big into Erich von Daniken or Whitley Streiber, then you might -- might -- want to read this. Or maybe if your boss puts it on your desk...
This is the beat book on the Bermuda Triangle that I have ever read. It is very informative and well put together. There was one chapter that had the actual messages received from pilots who were in the Bermuda Triangle and died-it was very creepy to read. DO NOT READ THAT CHAPTER AT NIGHT!!!!I got so spooked!
It started off interesting and exciting, but the Gernon guy was feeling himself way too much in the psychic chapter. I appreciated the Atlantis theory most
I am a big fan of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle. Many, many years ago I saw a documentary that highlighted the doomed crew of Flight 19 that disappeared off the coast of Florida on December 5th 1945. That was it I've been hooked ever since. The documentary also featured the event where Gernon flew through fog. I had absolutely no idea he wrote a book about it. I was so happy to get this book and read it.
This book is very well put together. He actually researched everything he could about what it could have been that made this flight so different than the hundreds of others he flew. He found others with similar stories. He spoke out and asked questions to try and prove his theories on this event that happened to him. I'm not saying everything in this book is completely accurate, but he does layout a case as to why this happened and tries to find answers scientifically.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Slow start but is very information packed. Very interesting conspiracies as well. If you like history and modern conspiracy then this is the book for you.
Bruce Gernon, uno de los autores del libro, relata su propia experiencia en el Triángulo de las Bermudas. En los 70´s durante un vuelo en compañía de su padre y un amigo entran en una niebla espesa y viajan a través del tiempo. A partir de esa experiencia se dedica a investigar todo lo que puede sobre el Triángulo de las Bermudas. Plantea posibles explicaciones sobre lo que posiblemente ocurre con los aviones y embarcaciones que desaparecen. De hecho al final trae una larga lista en aviones y embarcaciones que han desaparecido durante muchos años en la zona. Algunos nunca son encontrados, otros son encontrados sin tripulación, o con la tripulación muerta. Gernon ha tratado de estudiar la niebla y campo magnético que describen quienes han sobrevivido a ellos en ésta zona. Sin embargo mucho se ha especulado sobre el Triángulo de las Bermudas, pero poco se sabe a ciencia cierta. Se especula incluso que los fenómenos del triángulo tienen que ver con experimentos militares estadounidenses. El libro está entretenido e interesante para quienes se interesen sobre el tema.
Si alguien planea adentrarse en el tema del Triángulo de las Bermudas, he aquí el libro que presenta de principio a fin hechos que han ocurrido en y a su alrededor. Una emocionante lectura que fácilmente te atrapa. Las teorías que presenta el autor acerca de lo que ocurre en el área erizan la piel. ¡Muy recomendado!
A book well thought out offering an alternative thought on what may be behind the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. Weather you believe the phenomena or not, there's no denying *something* happens when the right conditions are met and ships and planes travel through the area on their journey to wherever they are going. An interesting read all around. I really enjoyed it.
oh well, conspiracy theories have to have more "facts" and hypothesis alongwith . this book was narrative compilation. Not for a moment would one even slightly waver to believe what the author is trying to convince. I am sure there are better ones on the Bermuda triangle
