“Skeptics have dismissed the Triangle as a nonmystery, but they weren’t in my airplane when the fog surrounded my craft and I leaped ahead 100 miles. I documented what happened and memorized every detail of that flight.”
— Bruce Gernon

In December 1970, Bruce was flying from the Bahamas to Florida when he encountered a rapidly forming storm in the Bermuda Triangle. He describes entering a tunnel-like opening in the clouds before his aircraft became surrounded by a strange gray-white haze.

His instruments malfunctioned, visibility became distorted, and the airplane appeared to travel approximately 100 miles in far less time than should have been possible.

Bruce later coined the term electronic fog to describe the anomaly. The experience changed the course of his life and led to more than five decades of research into weather, electromagnetism, vortex formations, and possible distortions of time and space.

To show what he witnessed more accurately, Bruce created a three-dimensional reconstruction of the flight, including the cloud tunnel, electronic fog, and apparent displacement.

In our conversation, Bruce also shares more of his personal story, including a childhood UFO sighting and an unexplained voice he heard after the flight. The voice told him to remember the events of that day because they would be important for the world to understand in the future.

Bruce has also documented a curious hexagonal opening in storm clouds witnessed with his granddaughter. Could geometric cloud formations be connected to vortex activity—or something science has yet to identify?

For decades the public conversation has largely asked: “Are UFOs real?”

Director Rhett McClure has a confession. He had his own UFO sighting when he was 13. And that made him curious. When he stumbled onto John's story, he wanted to know more.

JOHN FOSTER: IDENTIFIED PHENOMENA is a documentary asking a more challenging question than whether UFOs are real. The question: What happens when a lifetime of documented experiences refuses to fit within our current understanding of science, consciousness, history, and human potential?

Foster recounts encounters involving windowed saucers, coffin-shaped craft, luminous atmospheric distortions, and entities that appeared capable of moving between realities. Speaking as both an experiencer and an engineer, he explains how he continually tested his own memories against verifiable facts, determined to understand what was happening rather than simply believe it.

Sometimes the greatest mystery isn’t what appears in the sky. It’s what quietly walks beside us for a lifetime.

- Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of corresponding with and interviewing John Foster on multiple occasions, so seeing his remarkable life story brought to the screen is especially gratifying. His story deserves a broader audience. Our conversations are in the archives.
