THE FACTS BEHIND THE MYSTERY
What is this strange area in the Atlantic Ocean in which ships and planes seem continually to be disappearing under mysterious circumstances in good weather, without warning, without a trace? Is it a region of electromagnetic aberrations, a space-time warp which traps unfortunate vessels in another dimension? Is it a favorite spot for UFO's to pick up earthlings and their vehicles for study in other galaxies? Or is it the domain of a sea monster or an evil spirit seeking some grim revenge? How can anyone learn the truth?
Lawrence David Kusche has done what a conscientious investigative reporter should do. He has dug out the facts. He searched the entire New York Times Index from 1851 to the present, contacted the Coast Guard, the Air Force, Lloyds of London. This book is the astonishing result.
"This should be required reading," says Publishers Weekly. "It is," says Samuel Eliot Morison, "an objective estimate of all the alleged mysteries of the alleged triangle." It is also the case history of a legend in the making—a fascinating conversion of fact into fiction.
