Short description

Key note: The disappearance without trace of 5 US Navy bombers off the coast of Florida in 1945, followed by the search aircraft sent to find them, is fairly well known. What is not widely appreciated are the clues that link the loss to speculation that there might be a suboceanic base for UFOs in the western Atlantic - right where the ominous and mysterious Bermuda Triangle is to be found.

Perhaps the most intriguing and famous disappearance in the Bermuda Triangle, occurred just after WWII on December 5, 1945, when an entire squadron of aircraft vanished without trace and no clue as to what happened to them. Of course, this was the infamous Flight 19, which, more than any other case, brought the Triangle into popular consciousness, sparking all kinds of explanations. The strangest and most interesting being the theory that they were abducted by aliens who have a base somewhere in the Triangle, interesting because the alien/UFO theory was popularized by Stephen Spielberg in his 1977 film "..

Speculation about alien bases anywhere on Earth might sound extraordinary but many serious UFO researchers believe it would be a logical step for any space travelling race visiting Earth to take.
In this book we will be examining the famous Flight 19 case and considering whether the UFO/alien base theory could explain the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, or whether there is a more rational explanation.

Review by: Douglas Westfall on March 01, 2013 : (no rating)
As a book publisher for the past 23 years, I review a large number of books for several organizations (eg: American Aviation Historical Society, etc.) This book is but 15 pages of crap.

The concept of the Bermuda triangle was created in 1950 with an article by Associated Press reporter Edward Van Winkle Jones. He had a map showing an airplane flying from Bermuda toward Puerto Rico, another plane flying from Puerto Rico to Miami, and finally, Flight 19 flying from Fort Lauderdale out in the direction of Bermuda. In 1952, George X Sand wrote in Fate Magazine defining the borders, shown in the map from Jones' article, In 1964 Vincent Gaddis in Argosy magazine finally named the infamous Bermuda Triangle.

It looks a triangle drawn over the Atlantic Ocean. Each year, ships and planes go missing off the eastern coastline of the United States, as planes have for a century, and ships literally for hundreds of years. Yet both the US Coast Guard and Lloyds of London state that no more ships or planes go missing here than off the Pacific coastline.

Under the infamous Bermuda triangle is nothing but flat ocean bottom at some 12,000 feet. No methane gas to upset ships, no fumaroles to spew out magma to affect compasses, and certainly no crystal pyramids. As well, many of the reported triangle mysteries did not take place within the mythical boundaries; eg: the Mary Celeste sailed from NY to Portugal and never went near Bermuda then was found off the coast of Portugal.

Much of the story however, begins with Flight 19, aka the Lost Patrol when supposedly they disappeared suddenly into the infamous Bermuda Triangle. Flight 19 disappeared in December of 1945 but it wasn’t into the Bermuda triangle and it wasn't sudden — it took five hours for each of the TMB Avengers to drop out of the sky. The irony of Flight 19 is that none of the men died within the infamous Bermuda triangle.

Three crash sites have been located and one aircraft has been raised from the sea.
