AI Summary
5 min readOn December 4, 1970, pilot Bruce Gernon took off from Andros Island in the Bahamas, heading for Palm Beach, Florida, in his Beechcraft Bonanza. He had made this 210-mile flight about a dozen times before, and it normally took around 90 minutes. This time, it took 47 minutes. When he landed, the fuel consumption didn't match the distance traveled, and the flight records from both airports confirmed the impossible timeline. Something had happened inside a strange cloud formation that seemed to compress both space and time.
Gernon, his father, and his business partner had waited out thunderstorms that morning before taking off at 3:00 PM. Climbing through light rain, Gernon noticed an unusual lenticular cloud at low altitude—a type of cloud that normally only forms at 20,000 feet or higher. It had silky edges and sat directly in his flight path. As he climbed, the cloud grew faster than his plane could ascend, forcing him to fly through it repeatedly. At 11,500 feet, he broke free into clear skies, only to see the cloud had spread into a massive horseshoe shape behind him. Minutes later, a matching horseshoe shape appeared ahead, as if the storm was herding him forward.

Show Notes
Bermuda Triangle Survivor presents Pilot Bruce Gernon's astonishing experiences flying through the Bermuda Triangle and the groundbreaking theories he has created based on these encounters. He is the only living person to fly through the storm that creates one of the World's greatest mysteries. He has seen its birth and entered the heart at its maturity and escaped while experiencing a space/time warp, then witnessing its dissipation.
Over the past four decades thousands of students have contacted him for help with research projects they were doing about the Bermuda Triangle. He has written this book for them and for anyone interested in meteorology and physics. You will learn new meteorological terms like Thunderstorm vortex tunnel, Timestorm and the Circular Vortex tunnel that he flew through in 1970.
The most important thing he has discovered has a name that he coined in 1978, it called "ELECTRONIC FOG" and there has been thousands of planes, boats and people that have experienced it. Some seem to have disappeared while they were in the FOG. Could it have the power of an Event Horizon like a Black Hole?
It took Bruce Thirty (30) years to discover the theory of how this fog works. He says if you think about a question for a very long time, eventually you will come up with the answer this is what he did. There are many theories of what caused the mystery, and the discovery of Rouge Waves has come to fruition, but that only applies to boats. The mystery still remains and after fifty (50) years "Electronic Fog" has become the case in point.
There have been many animations on TV documentaries showing Bruce's flight experience, but none have ever shown it correctly. He has created a new video with animations that are three dimensional and shown never seen before details of what it looked like when he experienced the space/time warp and Electronic Fog. He has hopes that this will help students, researchers and scientists to open their minds and solve the mystery.
