On December 4, 1970, pilot Bruce Gernon and his two passengers departed from Andros Island in the Bahamas, heading northwest towards the coast of Florida. Their journey took them through the infamous Bermuda Triangle – a region known for the mysterious disappearance of over 2,000 ships and 200 aircraft over the centuries.
This was a flight that Bruce had made numerous times before, usually taking around an hour and a half. However, this time, they encountered strange phenomena. As the plane took off and reached an altitude of about 300 meters, Bruce noticed a small cloud ahead. This cloud continued to grow, actually expanding in size rather than just appearing closer due to the plane’s forward motion. Bruce flew through the cloud and emerged unscathed on the other side.
Bruce Gernon and his passengers departed from Andros Island, Bahamas on a mysterious journey.
At 3,500 meters, another mysterious cloud appeared, leaving Bruce no choice but to fly through it. As they entered, the surroundings became pitch black, with no rays of sunlight penetrating the gloom. However, this cloud was not a storm cloud, and there was no rain. Suddenly, a loud bang accompanied by a bright white light appeared, only to vanish as quickly as it had come. Bruce was certain it wasn’t lightning. These lights illuminated the entire space around them.
After continuing to fly for another 30 minutes, Bruce realized they had encountered the same cloud they had passed through at the start of their journey. However, the cloud had now transformed into a cylindrical shape, and his plane was flying through its center, seemingly endlessly. A minute later, he spotted light at the end of the tunnel. Suddenly, the cloud walls began to narrow. Navigation instruments started vibrating, and the compass spun counterclockwise. Electronic equipment malfunctioned as if the plane were being controlled by some external force or moving through a strange electrical field.
The mysterious cloud took on an unusual cylindrical form.
Bruce kept flying and eventually emerged from the cloud tunnel. He immediately contacted ground control to determine his location, but his plane didn’t show up on radar. He was later identified as being in Miami airspace. Strangely, he had made the journey in just 47 minutes, whereas the usual flight time for the 400 km trip was 90 minutes. Given that the plane’s maximum speed was 290 km/h, this seemed physically impossible.
Bruce consulted with numerous experts, but none could provide a definitive explanation. So, he developed his own theory and wrote a book about it.
Bruce Gernon sought answers from experts but had to develop his own theory.
To this day, no one has been able to explain how the plane reached Miami so quickly. Some have speculated about the involvement of dark energy – a type of energy capable of warping space-time, much like a black hole, creating a bizarre tunnel.
