A squadron of five US Navy planes on a routine mission
disappears without trace. So does the rescue plane sent to
search for them
A ship is found abandoned on the high seas with no trace of
passengers or crew. A submerged ship mysteriously rises to
the surface from its grave beneath the sea. These and many
more unexplained disappearances – and appearances – are
not scenarios for a science fiction film. They are recorded
instances of the greatest unsolved mystery of our time: the
Bermuda Triangle, that area of the Western Atlantic off the
southeastern coast of the United States where over 100
planes and ships and 1,000 people have literally vanished
into thin air.
Here is the story of this planet’s most bizarre and sinister
enigma – and of the unearthly forces that may very well be
its cause . . .
Charles Berlitz is the grandson of the man who founded the
famous Berlitz language schools and is himself an accomp-
lished linguist with a working knowledge of some thirty
languages. An expert scuba diver, he has examined at first
hand many of the strange ruins of lost civilizations which
have been discovered beneath the sea. His other books in-
clude The Mystery of Atlantis and the highly successful
Mysteries from Forgotten Worlds.
