[05:29.40]and is convinced that "the majority of disappearances [in the triangle]
[05:34.76]can be attributed to the unique features of the area's environment."
[05:40.52]These include the swift Gulf Stream current,
[05:45.64]the unexplored submerged valleys of the Atlantic
[05:49.99]and the often violent weather within the mystery zone.
[05:54.17]Then too, the triangle is one of only two places on earth
[06:00.43]where a compass needle points to true north rather than magnetic north,
[06:06.91]causing problems in navigation.
[06:09.47]"There are mysterious and strange things going on out there,"
[06:15.16]admits Richard Winer,author of The Devil's Triangle,
[06:19.44]a book that has sold 500,000 copies since its publication three months ago.
[06:19.51]"But I believe that all the answers lie in human error,
[06:24.91]mechanical problems, strange atmospheric events,
[06:28.98]or unusual magnetic phenomenon."
[06:32.26]7  On the contrary, officials of another government bureau report,
[06:38.74]"no reasonable explanation to date has been made for the vanishings."
[06:44.60]Because of these uncertainties,
[06:47.63]private investigators have sought more fantastic explanations.
[06:53.32]One author argues that beings from outer space
[06:58.46]have established a highly advanced civilization
[07:01.96]in the unexplored depths of the Atlantic inside the triangle.
[07:07.54]There, he believes, most of the missing vessels
[07:12.25]— and their crews — may still be on display for study
[07:16.90]by these higher intelligences.
[07:20.03]"It sounds weird," the author admits,
[07:23.92]"until you realize that it's the only explanation that covers all the facts."
[07:30.68]8 These and other theories are all examined in Charles Berlitz's current volume
[07:37.67]The Bermuda Triangle.
[07:40.01]A man with an interest in Atlantis, the legendary lost island,
[07:45.70]Berlitz expands upon the theory that a giant solar crystal,
[07:51.49]which once was the power generator for Atlantis,
[07:54.98]lies on the ocean floor.
[07:57.54]From into to time, according to his theory,
[08:02.72]passing ships and planes set off the crystal,
[08:06.68]which confuses their instruments and sucks them into the ocean.
[08:12.26]9  To test such theories,
[08:15.43]an institute is planning to take 300 psychics
[08:19.90]and scientists on a cruise into triangle.
[08:24.54]The researchers hope to make contact with whatever
[08:29.00]"higher intelligence" may lie under the sea.
