I used to think these would have a greater impact on my adult life.
Ditto.
I'm probably around the same age as the guy who wrote that.

The term is newer than I thought. It was created in 1964 and it first appeared in print in this magazine.

It took Vincent H. Gaddis to coin the catch-all phrase that would enter popular culture; his article in the February 1964 issue of “Argosy” [later incorporated into his book "Invisible Horizons"] was titled “The Deadly Bermuda Triangle.”
both those things used to be my childhood obsessions.
then i made quicksand in my yard with a hose and nothing sank in it but it was cool how it instantly hardened when the hose turned off. little green army men survived.
and i was dragged on my one and only cruise straight through the triangle and most that happened as a cool storm where i got to sit in the huge porthole as it repeatedly was lashed with waves. i survived.
I envy you. I have no stories to share of violent battles and treacherous sea voyages. But I did watch a ton of tv and think about quicksand and the Bermuda Triangle with wonder. If I remember correctly in the 70s I watched Spock (I called the actor that too) narrate something about the Bermuda Triangle.
Unfortunately it gave me a sort of negative nostalgia value. Now that I'm an adult it's clear In Search of... episodes are surely nearly all are piles of shit and pseudo science. Google says there are ~145 episodes. I really wish Nimoy had narrated something else. Something of actual value about science or technology or history anything else that's real. Oh, well.
