-In 1965 the journalist Vincent Gaddis, a regular feature writer for magazines like Amazing Stories and Worlds of Tomorrow published Invisible Horizons: Strange Mysteries of the Sea. This popular study of unexplained maritime phenomena covered such Fortean topics as the Marie Celeste, sea ghosts and vanishing islands. Sensationalistic but reasonably even-handed in its approach, Invisible Horizons is today best known for providing an early account of the disappearances reported in the so-called ‘Bermuda Triangle’. Although it was Charles Berlitz’s book The Bermuda Triangle (1974) which brought the area and its anomalies widespread public attention, it was Gaddis who first coined the enduring phrase with his article ‘The Deadly Bermuda Triangle’, published in the February 1964 issue of Argosy magazine.i Revisiting the case for Invisible Horizons, he reflects upon and dismisses some of the explanations suggested to him by readers of the original piece. According to Gaddis, these missives attributed the loss of ships and planes in the loosely defined zone to: […] all manner of wild things from interference by ‘flying saucers’ or “something from outer space,” to space warps that caused planes and ships to enter another dimension, and disintegrating rays from a “30,000-year-old Atlantean power plant”.
