The Bermuda Triangle's real. 118 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:08,000 Thunderstorms in Florida are common, but it's hard not to find the timing a little spooky. 119 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000 When the weather clears, I fly from Miami to the tiny island of Bermuda. 120 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000 Hard to believe, but this is part of Great Britain. 121 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:26,000 A tidy sliver of English countryside only two miles wide by 20 miles long. 122 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000 The only difference is a big one, Sunshine. 123 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,000 From turquoise waters to pink-colored houses, this is a pastel paradise. 124 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,000 But this place is also famous for its eponymous triangle. 125 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:49,000 To get to the bottom of its supposed powers, I'm meeting an expert on the other side of the island. 126 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000 Now, I just need to get there. 127 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000 Well, this is ridiculous. 128 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000 I mean, how do you even... 129 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000 There we go. 130 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,000 But can he fit in it? 131 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,000 I got this.

How are you? 145 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000 Nice to meet you. 146 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000 Are you ready to learn about the Bermuda Triangle? 147 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,000 I am ready.

I will try not to. 158 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000 Lana takes me through the most notable disappearances. 159 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:57,000 The USS Cyclops lost in 1918 with 306 passengers aboard. 160 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:06,000 And Flight 19, a squadron of torpedo bombers on a training mission who all vanished without a trace in 1945. 161 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000 What are the main theories about the Triangle? 162 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,000 Come on, I'll show you. 163 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,000 Okay. 164 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,000 It turns out that most incidents in the Triangle fall into four main categories. 165 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:20,000 So, Josh, one of the biggest theories that trying to explain the Triangle is all about weather. 166 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,000 Weather. 167 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000 Violent storms, massive waves, shurning seas. 168 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,000 Since the earliest mariners passed through here, the Triangle has been described as a nexus for dangerous weather. 169 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,000 Is the weather more extreme within the Triangle than anywhere else in the world? 170 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000 Absolutely. The weather is bizarre. It's unusual. 171 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,000 We're talking about things like extreme hurricanes. 172 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:50,000 This section of the Atlantic is regularly pounded by thunderstorms and destructive hurricanes. 173 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,000 But many believe the storms here are uniquely and unnaturally violent. 174 00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,000 So, weather in general does seem like a leading candidate for what might be going on here? 175 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,000 Yes. 176 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:08,000 But these storms don't explain the reports of malfunctioning navigation equipment that seem to plague the Triangle. 177 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,000 This brings us to theory number two, electromagnetic disturbances. 178 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,000 There are just so many reports of compass malfunctions and the science just can't explain why. 179 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:26,000 Lana notes the widespread belief that the Earth's magnetic field is somehow warped here, wreaking havoc on planes and ships. 180 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000 And then there's theory number three. Brace yourself. 181 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000 Josh, this is the answer to all the mysteries of the Triangle. 182 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000 This is it. This is the answer right here. 183 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000 Huh, Lana, what's happening? 184 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000 What is happening? 185 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000 Aliens. Aliens! 186 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,000 We have to blame the aliens. 187 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,000 I knew it was aliens. 188 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,000 This is a whole category that includes things like Atlantis. 189 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:57,000 From ancient underwater structures to otherworldly beings, believe it or not, a lot, and I mean a lot of people, 190 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,000 have linked the Triangle to the mythical city of Atlantis. 191 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,000 Do you put any stock in this category of theories? 192 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000 I keep an open mind. 193 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,000 You keep an open mind? 194 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,000 Of course. 195 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000 Okay. She's one of them. 196 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000 There is one last theory we need to talk about. 197 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,000 Okay. 198 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000 That's the skeptics theory, and that's the theory that there's nothing going on in Bermuda Triangle. 199 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:28,000 Could the innumerable shipwrecks and legendary disappearances here simply be the result of natural phenomena and human error? 200 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000 That's what we're here to find out. 201 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,000 Do you think we will ever fully understand the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle? 202 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,000 I would love to hope so, but being honest with you, I don't think so, no. 203 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,000 Lana may be pessimistic, but I'm not giving up without a fight. 204 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:50,000 To find answers, I'm starting with the hard evidence, which in this case is lying on the bottom of the ocean. 205 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:57,000 Nearby, I meet with Chris Gontlitt, divemaster and chairman of the Bermuda Wrecks Association. 206 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,000 You ready to go solve the mystery of the Triangle? 207 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,000 Let's go find some shipwrecks. 208 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000 Let's do it, man. 209 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,000 Okay, come on aboard. 210 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000 Yeah, great. Here we go. 211 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:10,000 We lay in a course to a perilous zone west of Bermuda that's home to more than 300 shipwrecks, 212 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:16,000 a graveyard lurking in the deep where we're about to dig up the truth behind the Triangle. 213 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,000 I'm on a quest to understand the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, 214 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,000 a notorious stretch of ocean between Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico 215 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,000 that has been swallowing ships and planes for centuries. 216 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000 There are four main theories to explain the Triangle's power. 217 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:49,000 Supercharged weather, magnetic anomalies, ancient Atlanteans, or nothing at all, just human error and bad luck. 218 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:55,000 To unravel the truth, I'm heading out to investigate the many wrecks that litter the outskirts of Bermuda 219 00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,000 by tagging along with dive master Chris Gauntlet and researcher JP Roja. 220 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,000 Hey, how are you? I'm Josh. 221 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000 JP, how are you? 222 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,000 Nice to meet you. 223 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,000 So, Josh, JP's going to be our tech guy today. I'm going to be your wreck guy. 224 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,000 Tech and wreck? 225 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000 Awesome. 226 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,000 I got it. And so are there a lot of wrecks here? 227 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000 We don't call it the shipwreck capital of the Atlantic for no good reason. 228 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000 Over 300 that we know of. 229 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000 Over 300 wrecks. 230 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,000 Wow. 231 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:26,000 Chris and JP have been exploring these wrecks with an eye toward explaining how they got there. 232 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:33,000 We change into wetsuits as they maneuver the boat a mile offshore, where I learn what all this effort is about. 233 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:39,000 So I'm part of a project called the Bermuda 100, and we've been spending the last few years digitizing different wrecks. 234 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,000 So how does that happen? 235 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,000 So we're using a process called photogrammetry, where you take thousands of photos of different portions of the wreck. 236 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,000 We put it through a computer algorithm, and from that it builds a 3D model. 237 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:55,000 3D modeling can help explain what happened to these ships and how they fell victim to the triangle. 238 00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:07,000 The ship we're going to photograph today is the Montana, a steam ship that left London in 1863 as a blockade runner to supply Confederate forces during the Civil War. 239 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,000 Instead, the triangle claimed her, and today she lies directly underneath us. 240 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,000 While JP preps the camera, Chris and I get ready to dive. 241 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000 Josh, you ready to go? 242 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,000 I'm ready, let's do it. 243 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000 Ready, let's make the most of it, alright? 244 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000 Okay, you got it, mate.

281 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000 At UCSC in San Diego. 282 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,000 I've got to go to San Diego now? 283 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,000 Absolutely. 284 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000 Okay, to the Pacific. 285 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:22,000 We speed back to shore as Chris slaloms the boat with pinpoint accuracy through a maze of reefs, rocks, and shipwrecks. 286 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:30,000 Shortly after we make port, I fly from Bermuda to a high-tech facility at the University of California at San Diego, 287 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:41,000 where visualization and virtual reality professor Dr. Falco Kooster has been working around the clock to build a precise 3D reconstruction of the Montana. 288 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,000 Okay, so what are we looking at here?

To Atlantis. 394 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000 Okay. 395 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,000 Bill and I rendezvous with his investigation team at a nearby slip. 396 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,000 Hey Josh, this is Mark and Tim of CyQuest and they're our technology experts. 397 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,000 Nice to meet you guys. 398 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,000 Nice to meet Josh. 399 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,000 Okay, let's go. You ready? 400 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:45,000 Bill's crew casts off from the dock and we head out into the ocean where Bill says Atlantis awaits. 401 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,000 You believe in the power of the triangle? 402 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000 I believe there are unusual things happening. 403 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000 Some of the stuff is really weird like the magnetic anomalies. They're a little bit hard to explain. 404 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000 Right. Is that connected to Atlantis? 405 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000 It's been said that Atlantis was the most advanced civilization. 406 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000 So somehow perhaps their technology is the cause of this? 407 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,000 Yeah. 408 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,000 So where are we headed first? 409 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,000 Josh, we're about to pass over what's known as the Bimini Road. 410 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,000 The Bimini Road, yes. 411 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:17,000 The Bimini Road or Bimini Wall was originally discovered by three divers investigating local sea life. 412 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:24,000 What they found quickly became a magnet for the imaginative adherence of the lost city of Atlantis 413 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:29,000 who then pegged it as either the source or victim of the Bermuda Triangle. 414 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:36,000 After a short ride, we arrive at the Bimini Road where we gear up and jump into the crystal clear waters. 415 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,000 Okay, here we go. 416 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000 Man, it is so clear down here. 417 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,000 We head for the bottom and other than a few patches of stunning coral, 418 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:03,000 we find ourselves swimming across what appears to be an underwater desert. 419 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000 Featurelets here. 420 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,000 But soon there's no question what Bill has brought me here to see. 421 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,000 Huge collection of stones here. It does. It looks like a round. 422 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:31,000 The rectangular blocks stretch as far as the eye can see, forming a pathway that looks, well, designed. 423 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:39,000 So the bottom is covered in these huge, white stones. They look really regular. 424 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,000 It does almost look like massive, keeping blocks. 425 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:54,000 We brush away sand from the base of some of the slabs, but can't tell how far down they go. 426 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,000 After swimming as far down the road as we can before running out of air, 427 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,000 we return to the surface to evaluate what's really going on here. 428 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000 Whew! Well, that's a very weird place. 429 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:16,000 I can see why people think it's artificial. Those look like perfectly square blocks since they were fitted like this. 430 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,000 It's amazing. 431 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000 But is it man-made? 432 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:28,000 Bill, like many others, is convinced that the road is proof of an ancient Atlantean construction. 433 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,000 Back on board the boat, Bill and I dry off and change into our civvies 434 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,000 to deploy cutting-edge technology known as sub-bottom profiling 435 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:42,000 to see if these paving blocks are really artificial or just natural rock. 436 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,000 What's this going to do? 437 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,000 This transducer is going to create sound waves, shoot it down towards the seafloor, 438 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,000 and the information is going to bounce back up and be received by this instrument. 439 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000 The sound waves will penetrate the seafloor up to 30 feet. 440 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000 Wait, this will see 30 feet below the seafloor? 441 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,000 Correctly. 442 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,000 Wow! 443 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:06,000 If the Bimini Road is man-made, the sub-bottom profiler should be able to see underneath the stones 444 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,000 to show us a foundation level, or perhaps other structures. 445 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:16,000 We carefully lower the device into the depths and set a course over the rock formations below. 446 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,000 We huddle up as the data begins streaming in. 447 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000 We're looking at a cross-section of the bottom here. 448 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,000 Correct, it's a cross-section. 449 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000 We do have these really interesting raised features down here. 450 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,000 These are some of the stones from the road. 451 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,000 Yeah. 452 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,000 Okay. 453 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,000 How deep down in the sand do those stones go? 454 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,000 About six feet thick. 455 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,000 It does look like there's something there. 456 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000 Professional sonar dude's opinion here. 457 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000 Am I looking at structure down here? 458 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,000 What is this? 459 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:56,000 I'm off the coast of the island of Bimini in the Bahamas, where researcher Bill Donato has taken me underwater to see the Bimini Road. 460 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,000 Dude, your collection of stones here. 461 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,000 A curious looking pathway that he believes may be evidence of Atlantis. 462 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:15,000 To find out, we've used a sub-bottom profiler to determine once and for all if these are natural rock formations, or whether there's a man-made foundation beneath the sand. 463 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,000 Am I looking at structure down here? 464 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,000 What is this? 465 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000 A solid sea floor. 466 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,000 Okay. 467 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,000 It's not an anomaly. 468 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,000 Score one for science. 469 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:36,000 The sub-bottom profiler reveals that the Bimini Road is definitely a natural rock formation that extends deep into the bedrock. 470 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:44,000 Its paving stone appearance may be the result of ocean currents wearing away the soft limestone sediment. 471 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:51,000 Bill will keep searching for evidence, but for now, Atlantis is safely returned to the realm of ancient legend. 472 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:57,000 However, there are other strange stories about the triangle that are not so easy to dismiss. 473 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,000 Reports of electromagnetic disturbances. 474 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:08,000 Now, I'm heading back to Florida to hear one of the most incredible stories ever told about the Bermuda Triangle. 475 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,000 At the Wings of Miami Museum, I meet up with pilot Bruce Gernon. 476 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,000 Bruce. 477 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:14,000 Josh. 478 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,000 How are you? 479 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,000 Great to meet you. 480 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:24,000 You are something of a rarity when it comes to pilots that have experienced the Bermuda Triangle in that you made it back. 481 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,000 That's right. 482 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000 So tell me your story. When and where did it take place? 483 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000 Well, it was in Andrews Island in the Bahamas. 484 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,000 Okay. 485 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000 1970 on December 4th. 486 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000 The plan was to fly to Palm Beach International Airport. 487 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000 Okay, so coming back from the Bahamas. 488 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000 Well, I was pilot in command. 489 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000 Okay. 490 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,000 And my dad's my co-pilot. 491 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,000 And then we had a business passenger in the back seat with us. 492 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:55,000 Bruce's path would take him from the tiny island 186 miles northwest and along the inside edge of the triangle. 493 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,000 And what are you flying? 494 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,000 It was a brand new bonanza, A36. 495 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,000 Very similar to this one here. 496 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:11,000 That day when Bruce took off for Palm Beach, he had already logged almost a thousand hours as a pilot and had made the trip dozens of times. 497 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,000 When we approached the great Bahama Bank, I noticed the first strange thing. 498 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,000 This lenticular shaped cloud. 499 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,000 And by that, I mean it was shaped much like a lens. 500 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000 It was directly in my flight path. 501 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,000 And I'm climbing up at a thousand feet per minute. 502 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:33,000 And then I noticed that it's climbing close to the same rate as me. 503 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000 Had you ever seen a cloud or weather like this before? 504 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,000 No, what was really amazing was how far it had spread out. 505 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000 As far as I could see on either side of me. 506 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000 Is it now looking menacing? 507 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:49,000 Yeah, well now I'm looking in front and the storm is facing right in front of me. 508 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,000 So this was basically just a wall in front of you? 509 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,000 Yeah, a wall. 510 00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:00,000 So at that point, if you can't fly over it and you can't fly under it, what do you do? 511 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000 Well, you fly through it. 512 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:12,000 And then I noticed horizontal tunnels and it's like ten miles long. 513 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,000 Wow. 514 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,000 I'm aiming for this, but now the tunnel is getting rapidly smaller. 515 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,000 And then I go to full power because I see it's closing. 516 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,000 And so when I entered the mouth of the tunnel, we saw these strange lines 517 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,000 forming on the edge of the tunnel walls. 518 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:37,000 And they were like a spiral leading all the way from the entrance to the exit. 519 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000 So now you're fully in the Twilight Zone? 520 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,000 Mm-hmm. 521 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000 Everyone on the plane is seeing this? 522 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,000 Yes. 523 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,000 When we punched out, I look behind me and I watch the tunnel collapse. 524 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,000 And then I look at the compass and it's even rotating all by itself. 525 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,000 Okay. 526 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000 And when you punch out the other side of it, where are you? 527 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,000 Well, I should be 90 miles east of Miami. 528 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,000 Okay. 529 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,000 Contact it, Miami Flight Center. 530 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:11,000 And then the radar controller comes back on the radio and he's got an airplane directly over Miami Beach. 531 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,000 And I look down and yeah, it's Miami Beach. 532 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:19,000 So you were 80 miles further along in your flight than you should have been? 533 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,000 That's right. 534 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:25,000 So when we landed, I checked my watch and it was a flight of only 47 minutes. 535 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,000 And wow, that didn't make sense. 536 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:32,000 I had made that flight dozens of times before and it always had taken at least an hour and 20 minutes. 537 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,000 Wow. 538 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:39,000 To try and wrap his mind around what happened, Bruce drew a chart of his flight path. 539 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:46,000 According to his calculations, the tunnel transported him 90 miles in 3 minutes and 20 seconds. 540 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,000 And that should have meant that you were traveling how fast? 541 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,000 Close to 2,000 miles now. 542 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000 Which I'm not an expert in the bonanza, but I don't believe it does that speed. 543 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000 It'll go 200, but not 2,000. 544 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:01,000 It sounds like science fiction, but Bruce has more than just a story. 545 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000 He has the receipts. 546 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,000 So normally you would put how much fuel in the plane to refill it after this flight? 547 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,000 39 or 40 gallons. 548 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,000 And on this occasion you put in? 549 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,000 Only 29. 550 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,000 29. 551 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,000 It's not too often you see a fuel receipt threatened to break the laws of physics. 552 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:24,000 So okay, so you went into the Bermuda Triangle, but on the other hand you did save money on gas, so there's an upside to everything. 553 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,000 Okay. 554 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000 So what do you think you really experienced in the Triangle? 555 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:36,000 Well the latest thoughts are it's something similar to a wormhole that's created in between thunderstorm cells. 556 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,000 And you can imagine what's going on all around them. 557 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:46,000 Electromagnetism, lightning, rain, hail, high winds, cross winds. 558 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,000 It creates what I call an electronic fog. 559 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:56,000 Some sort of natural phenomena, some space-time rift that you flew through. 560 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:01,000 Right, I believe the electronic fog is the key to what's creating this mystery. 561 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:09,000 The fog, Bruce says, is related to electromagnetic anomalies that many people believe permeate the Triangle. 562 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:16,000 Anomalies responsible for navigation problems, freak weather events, and disappearances. 563 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000 And is this something that you think is still happening today? 564 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:29,000 Just a few months ago there was a pilot out of Palm Beach that took off and when he got 20 miles offshore he said that his instruments were acting goofy. 565 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,000 And then he disappeared. 566 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,000 Never found. 567 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,000 They never found him. 568 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,000 Wow. 569 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,000 So this is something that's still going on? 570 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000 Still going on, yes. 571 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,000 Well listen, I really appreciate you sharing the story with me, Bruce. 572 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,000 Hey, it was great. 573 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,000 It was a real pleasure. 574 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,000 I never want to fly with you. 575 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,000 No. 576 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,000 Thank you very much. 577 00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000 Bruce's experience has never been replicated. 578 00:35:51,000 --> 00:36:01,000 But now, researchers are attempting to examine the atmosphere above the Triangle to see if the electronic fog he reported is based in empirical fact. 579 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:09,000 Outside of Miami at an area marina, I meet aerospace engineers Brian Chan and Dr. Tyler Reed. 580 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,000 Brian? 581 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,000 Hey Josh, that's me. 582 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,000 How are you man? 583 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,000 Good, good. 584 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,000 Nice to meet you. 585 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,000 How are you?

590 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,000 Well, we're going to do a test experiment where we have a couple of some equipment on board. 591 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,000 We'll be testing radiation levels. 592 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:29,000 We'll be testing magnetic field strength all the way from here to the edge of the atmosphere. 593 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,000 Awesome. 594 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,000 And so is the idea that we're launching this balloon at sea? 595 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,000 That's the plan. 596 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,000 It'll be a few miles out. 597 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,000 Should we do it? 598 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,000 Let's do it. 599 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,000 Let's do it. 600 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:43,000 Our boat captain, Andrew Hunt, fires up the four 350 horsepower V8s. 601 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,000 All right, let's punch it. 602 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:53,000 And takes us nearly 20 miles out into open ocean, where we ready all systems for launch. 603 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,000 This is it. 604 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,000 This is it. 605 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,000 This guy here, we're taking this to the edge of space. 606 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000 So how high is this going up, Tyler? 607 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,000 It's about 100,000 feet. 608 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,000 100,000 feet. 609 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:11,000 Okay, looks to me like a Styrofoam cooler with some life preservers taped onto it. 610 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000 Can't judge a book by its cover. 611 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,000 Can I open this? 612 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,000 Okay, let's take a look here. 613 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000 Please be filled with cold beer. 614 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000 Look at this, the guts of the operation. 615 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,000 Okay, so I see a couple of digital cameras. 616 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,000 So we're going to be able to get video back. 617 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,000 Yep. 618 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,000 Awesome. 619 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000 And then what's actually taking the measurements up there? 620 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,000 Yeah, we've got our magnetometer. 621 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,000 It'll be measuring magnetic field strength as we go up. 622 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:39,000 The Earth's magnetic field is due to the motion of molten iron in our planet's core. 623 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,000 The charge this generates at the poles is the reason compasses point north, 624 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,000 or at least why they're supposed to. 625 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:51,000 The box is also equipped with a Geiger counter to measure electromagnetic radiation, 626 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000 as well as a GPS tracker, 627 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,000 so we might have a shot at finding this thing when it comes down. 628 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,000 All right, so let's talk about how this works. 629 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,000 Okay, so we fill a balloon up, we launch it. 630 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:05,000 It'll go up to about 100,000 feet. 631 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000 It'll burst, a parachute will deploy, 632 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,000 and the idea it'll gently splash down into the water. 633 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000 Okay, well, let's do it. 634 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,000 You ready?
