Now he presents it again, unchanged as far as I recall it.<br /><br />So presumably he knows something the rest of us do not. There is no need for you to contact him, as he suggests.<br /><br />It is for him to contact you (and the rest of us).<br /><br />Please, Mr Westfall, tell us more. For example, where did Donald Keyhoe get his information from, as presented in the final chapter of "The Flying Saucer Conspiracy" published in 1955, and the quotes he gives. allegedly taken from the US Navy Official Report, but which are not in this report at all? <br /><br />Did Keyhoe invent them, or did his informant? <br /><br />And which aircraft was raised from the sea? Was it genuinely from Flight 19 or was it from another, earlier, flight? Or is this too a piece of fiction?<br /><br />I shall not be buying Douglas Westfall's book.cdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005702597775594084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11558306.post-18088379671984612352014-02-15T07:30:56.511-08:002014-02-15T07:30:56.511-08:00Dear Kevin: The terms lore, or myth come from a st...Dear Kevin: The terms lore, or myth come from a story that dates from antiquity. When something is more recent, they call it a hoax.<br /><br />Of course the Bermuda Triangle reaches from Bermuda (a tiny island) to Puerto Rico (a tiny island) to the city of Miami (not so tiny.) <br /><br />The concept of the Bermuda triangle was created in 1950 with an article by Associated Press reporter Edward Van Winkle Jones. He had a map showing an airplane flying from Bermuda toward Puerto Rico, another plane flying from Puerto Rico to Miami, and finally, Flight 19 flying from Fort Lauderdale out in the direction of Bermuda. In 1952, George X Sand wrote in Fate Magazine defining the borders, shown in the map from Jones' article, In 1964 Vincent Gaddis in Argosy magazine finally named the infamous Bermuda Triangle.<br /><br />It looks a triangle drawn over the Atlantic Ocean. Each year, ships and planes go missing off the eastern coastline of the United States, as planes have for a century, and ships literally for hundreds of years. Yet both the US Coast Guard and Lloyds of London state that no more ships or planes go missing here than off the Pacific coastline. <br /><br />Much of the story however, begins with Flight 19, aka the Lost Patrol when supposedly they disappeared suddenly into the infamous Bermuda Triangle. Flight 19 disappeared in December of 1945 but it wasn’t into the Bermuda triangle and it wasn't sudden — it took five hours for each of the TBM Avengers to drop out of the sky. The irony of Flight 19 is that none of the men died within the infamous Bermuda triangle. <br /><br />Three crash sites have been located and one aircraft has been raised from the sea. I published Jon Myhre's book in 2012 : Discovery of Flight 19.<br /><br />I am interested in your story.
