 The Fog: A Never Before Published Theory of the bermuda Triangle Phenomenon November 3, 2006

I bought this book because of my son's name and the events of his fatal plane crash 02/01/2001. I had always suspected that the area where his plane went down was in the Bermuda Triangle zone, which this book documents, and I always knew that he was too careful a pilot to have made any risks for anyone's safety. I am still of the theory that it was not due to his negligence, as suggested by the NTSB. There are many proven points in this book that substantiate it. Rated very excellent, makes good reading for anyone trying to prove this dangerous ocean zone. Joanna Purvis Brown, mother of Casey Alex Purvis. 29 June 1950- 02 February 2001.

The so-called Bermuda Triangle and all the stories surrounding it isn't something that is easily understood. Perhaps mostly because the opinions differ whether or not something mysterious and unexplainable is actually going on there or not. Perhaps all the stories about missing airplane, boats, and people are made-up nonsense based on manipulated or faulty statistics.
The believers are convinced that something truly unexplainable is going on, and all sorts of explanations have come to light ever since the five doomed airplanes of Flight 19 (also known as the Lost Patrol) disappeared without a trace back in 1945. Regardless of your personal beliefs, the phenomena are worth investigating, if for no other reason than definitely for its fascination among the general public and the allure of the area (which really isn't triangular at all).
Rob MacGregor and Bruce Gernon's The Fog is an attempt to get the phenomena into some sort of order, and the book should be considered a breath of somewhat fresh air in a subject that for too long has been exploited by greedy authors using, for instance, the alien abduction scenario to explain "missing" individuals in the region. Gernon is one of few who has experienced a genuine phenomenon and lived to tell about it. (That is, if you choose to believe his story. If you don't there's really not much reason to read the book). He experienced what he's chosen to call "electronic fog", an atmospheric phenomenon which causes a time slip and malfunction in all instruments onboard. There's nothing supernatural or paranormal about it; it's just that science hasn't accepted it, and even though not every single disappearance in the area can be blamed on the electronic fog MacGregor and Gernon still remain convinced that the phenomenon is genuine and should be dealt with seriously by the scientific community.
And why not? The Fog might not be the most scientific book in the world, but the arguments are interesting and throughout the book the authors make sure to distance themselves from pseudoscience and New Age stories about parallel universe and alien abductors. They even manage to discuss Atlantis in a sensible way, and that is no small accomplishment.
In the long run, however, the reading becomes somewhat monotonous with the very long row of case descriptions. These take up a large segment of the book's content, and since most readers are likely to be familiar with the fact that unknown things are allegedly happening in the area, this continuous repetition of case after case quickly becomes rather boring. After all, many cases look much the same and none are solved. Still, The Fog is an interesting contribution to the debate about the Bermuda Triangle.

It made for a very interesting read. As someone who has a naturally curious mind and considered the Bermuda Triangle mystery to be almost a "pet project", I very much enjoyed this book. However, I'm wondering if it truly is a new revolutionary theory or simply "junk science." Possibly a combination of the two? The experiences that have happened in the Bermuda Triangle cannot be denied and simply explained away, obviously something more is going on than science can thus far explain. I would like to see more scientists and scholars review this book. It is important to keep in mind though that most (if not all) major scientific discoveries come from the "underdog types" (of which Bruce Gernon is) and often are ridiculed by their scientific counterparts at first. I'd like to see this theory put to the test.
