The Bermuda Triangle is commonly regarded as one of the biggest mysteries of the present time, but what is it exactly? The mystery itself stems from several aircraft and ships that mysteriously disappeared inside the Triangle under strange circumstances. The nature of the phenomenon lends itself to a myriad of theories, hypotheses, and explanations. These range from the religious and superstitious to the scientific and mundane. Unfortunately, records of Bermuda Triangle events are often rife with false information, deceptive reports, and spun tales. Studies of the area are often performed with a bias towards one particular theory, leading to the unwarranted dismissal of hard facts or the acceptance of unreliable data that is then forcefully declared as truth. You might be wondering now, “How did the Triangle come to be?” Well, it’s hard to tell without falling into someone else’s trap. Nonetheless, let’s try to unravel the origin!
I wasn't a huge fan of this book. I felt like lots of "meat" about theories surrounding the Bermuda Triangle was lightly touched on rather than flushed out, I felt like the book was also biased towards a scientific explanation versus a paranormal one as it delved much deeper into those aspects. I was expecting a more non biased, factual, historical account of the events that have occurred in the triangle and was looking for more than just a presentation of different ideas. I also felt like the last 25% read as a C+ college term paper. The other events listed had nothing to do with the triangle and contributed very little to the narrative and the works cited was excessive with commentary.
