Into the Bermuda Triangle: Pursuing the Truth Behind the World's Greatest Mystery

by Gian Quasar

Still unsolved, still baffling, still claiming new victims. Here are the untold stories. A pilot reports a strange haze enveloping his plane, then disappears; eleven hours after fuel starvation, as if calling from a void, he is heard 600 miles away. He requests permission to land, then vanishes forever. A freighter steaming over placid seas disappears without a trace. A pleasure yacht ghosts past without a soul on board. A pilot calls for help because a "weird object" is harassing his plane. A jet collides with an "unknown" and is never found. . . . Into the Bermuda Triangle is the first comprehensive examination of these baffling disappearances in more than a generation. Drawing on official reports from the NTSB and other investigative agencies as well as interviews with scientists, theorists, and survivors, leading authority Gian Quasar not only sets the record straight on previously examined cases, he also offers a bulging file of new cases, the collective results of his twelve-year investigation. In meticulous detail this unflinching

This is not your ordinary Bermuda Triangle book. Instead of looking at just one idea behind what could be causing hundreds of planes and boats to disappear within the coordinates of the area nick-named the Bermuda Triangle, the author looks at different ideas each with its own backing and scientific information regarding each one. The book is well referenced and uses many eye witness accounts as well as quotes from other material that was used while doing the research for this book.

Quasar starts out the book with an introduction about the triangle with a bit of background on the triangle, where it is thought to exist and other pertinent information. From there he moves onto chapters that include information on missing ships and planes that were last reported in the area. In addition to some of the more well-known cases, the author also includes information on ones that are not well known. He has done extensive research on the subject of the triangle and this is extremely evident based on the information he shares within the pages of this book.

Of course, my favorite part of the book is the vast amount of information he provides on the different theories of why there are so many disappearances, and he also mentions the Devil's Triangle and how it is similar to the Bermuda Triangle (the Devil's Triangle is Japan's version of the Bermuda Triangle and there are similarities between the two). These theories include the following ideas: ufos, a sunken continent, and vortexes just to name a few that he mentions and explains. There were things in this book that I had not even thought of when it comes to the Bermuda Triangle.

There are so many books out there on the subject, but none that I have come across are as well detailed as this one is. In addition many of the other ones out there do not introduce some of the theories that are presented here, and this book is awesome in that regard.

One of the great mysteries of this planet. Planes and ships disappearing for no explanation. Book has 2 good readable chapters: The riddle of vanishing ships and Those who lived to tell. The other chapters were OK, but above my pay grade. At least no far fetched suggestions. Having done one Coast Guard patrol of a month in the Triangle I can only assume, no one knows why strange things happen. Our patrol uneventful

I really enjoyed “Into the Bermuda Triangle.” In the 60’s I followed the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle with fascination, curiosity and dread. There was so much unknown and reading about missing planes and ships sailing into oblivion was powerful to a teenager. Gian Quasar has done an excellent job bringing us up to date on disappearances that are still happening today as well as reviewing the missing of the past. My favorite chapter was Chapter 5 as pilots and boat captains related their strange experiences that they were fortunate to survive. The author reviews all of the theories making this a rather complete book on the Triangle. The only thing missing was an answer but I appreciated that Quasar took me back to that creepy sense of the unknown fate of the men and women that disappeared into the Bermuda Triangle.

There always has been a great deal of debacle and discussion on the Bermuda Triangle for more than half a century. Gian Quasar's book is a must read if you thought History channel documentaries had put this issue to rest. The Triangle mystery, in all likeliness could be simple. Or in many instances not simple at all. Scientific arguments have failed on more than one occasion to come out with logical, viable solutions. This book is a well researched, informative and step by step account of mysterious cases both solved and unsolved, with possible explanations as put forth by various specialists- all captured and presented in a rather water tight manner. A very good read indeed!

[Kevin Barnes · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is packed with a lot of interesting items and information. It does not present a simple solution to the mystery, but it does give the reader a lot of ideas that could be solutions. I enjoyed this book but felt like some of the scientific information was to deep for me to understand. I had to do more outside the book reading to follow what the Author was discussing. This book is IMO not for the casual reader. But if you want some good scientific possibilities about the answer to the Bermuda Triangle mystery, this book is a good place to start.

I started reading this for a data project I was working on featuring the Bermuda Triangle. I stopped reading this because the 'facts' about this area- mysteries, lost aircraft and ships, etc. have proven to be no more than an urban legend. My project is going to be going a different way... but what I did read was interesting, but that was before I did a deep research dive on the internet and various respected periodicals.

Not me having another Bermuda Triangle phase lol. I've always been interested in the Bermuda Triangle phenomenon. What I liked about this book is that it discussed both the supernatural and the more logic based explanations. I feel like a lot of books either do one or the other so it was refreshing to see both approaches taken.

[Phil Hodgkiss · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've read other books and articles about the Bermuda Triangle, seen programmes on TV but this book definitely goes that much further. It's a fascinating subject and I still think there is more to learn about why aircraft and ships still go missing in the Bermuda Triangle.
This is a book that a lot if people can get into.

Reading for research. I found this to be a succinct coverage of several notable incidents around the Triangle. Not much in terms of speculation and it leaves much of that to the reader but it felt at times like watching a really good episode of Unsolved Mysteries.

good

Interesting but not sure how reliable. I tried to look up some of the allegations/citations he made and couldn't find much to support them. Food for thought for other books to read though.

[Cyrix Instead · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well written and entertaining style and well researched look at the phenomenon. Also a really fascinating hypothesis on ancient aliens, zero point energy and plenty more. Highly recommended read.

[Chris · Rating 2 out of 5]

I wanted something new and interesting. Lots of questions and little more than what a youtube video would explain in 15 mins instead of reading this book

[Pepper Anne · Rating 4 out of 5]

i enjoyed the stories in this book but found it dragged a bit.

[Dan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mr. Quasar (a fake name if I ever heard one) summarizes the many facts surrounding many of the mysterious disappearances in and around the Bermuda Triangle. The many accounts and details let your imagination run wild before he actually gets down to scientific inquiry. He offers a litany of many plausible if obscure explanations none of which is strong enough to explain all the disappearances by itself. Then he moves into the science fiction of aliens or advanced ancient civilizations which really turned me off because he had been so scientific about it all up to this point. Lastly, he ends with a poetically mysterious non-explanatory non-solution to the mystery which was a very weak ending after such a robust account of facts.

Finally waded through this book. Originally captured by its title, I found this is a rather daunting science book. Some parts are quite difficult to digest, or at least needs a bit of side research to understand. Though it's a quite fulfilling experience if one can finish it.
For thrill seekers, you probably want to stop at the 2nd chapter.

I've seen more documentaries than read books on this subject. This was my first actually. Since I knew most of the events discussed in this book through documentaries, it did not intrigue me that much. But for those who would want a good book on B.T should acquire this. Its a good start.

[Kim Dixon]

Very intriguing!!!

I want to go there .. good book

[Ariel · Rating 2 out of 5]

The concept for this book was really good, and at first it was quite engrossing, but it got so repetitive after a while that I just couldn't finish it. While it was very thorough, it got a bit old.

[Amanda · Rating 2 out of 5]

So disappointing. It started out very interesting and went downhill around chapter 4. It picked up a little more towards the end, but by that point I was over it. It just became so dry.

[David Vinther · Rating 2 out of 5]

very, very dry book. took alot of the interest i had in the bermuda triangle out of the stories presented

[Mousumi Bhattacharya · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's really creepy and it's not a story.It's the truth about hundreds of lives claimed by this unsolved mystery.

It was OK. A bit dry and does not come to any clear conclusion.

[April · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting. Some of the theories were believable but he lost me at ancient aliens.
