Gian Quasar is recognized as the leading authority in the world on the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, the man responsible for taking the subject out of the haze of two decades of debunker driven obscurity and placing it in its actual and often disturbing light. He is the first person to completely document the Bermuda Triangle, incident by incident. His research began over 15 years ago, and he has compiled the largest private repository of reports and official maritime documents, containing over 350 cases spanning over 2 centuries. Over 150 of these have been disappearances which have happened in the last 25 years.
Gian’s tenacity in finding every scrap available has gained him popular recognition as Generation X’s number 1 investigator of the most famous phenomena topics long established by the 1970s, uncovering them for an entirely new generation, but now with actual documentation instead of the endless hype and hyperbole of their public marketing. He presents them as all facts must be presented: in a mature and objective manner.
In 1990 he began with the Bermuda Triangle, approaching it from the perspective of a sportsman, presenting the mysteries according to the facts based on official reports rather than newspaper or popular magazine accounts. These facts launch his readers into a modern day odyssey, from the Triangle seas to far lands, from beneath the oceans to far out in Space, to the past, back to the present, and to the threshold of the future and what warnings the evidence may hold for it.
He has a wide knowledge of and long standing interest in avionics and maritime matters. He remains constantly abreast of current incidents and regularly receives documents from the US Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board. He is the first to propose von Karman’s vortices, Gulf Stream Eddies, and “The North Wall Phenomenon” of the Gulf Stream as viable theories for some of the missing, while at the same time documenting facets of incidents which remain completely unexplainable. His research required the Coast Guard to update their official stance on the topic, and hence that of the Federal Government. As a result, after more than 30 years, inaccuracies and obsolete theories were finally removed from their official opinion.
Bermuda-Triangle.org began in 1999 when he decided to place up a web site in order to counter the many false claims. The overwhelming response has culminated in the first book on the Triangle in over 25 years. This was not a “write for hire” work. Rather, in the old style, Gian wrote his manuscript and sent a proposal to an editor. It was accepted immediately, and the book was “crashed” for publication for November 2003 by McGraw-Hill, and is now in paperback in its 4th printing.
Along with the Bermuda Triangle, Gian has been actively investigating other unexplained but popular topics, such as “Bigfoot,” Flight 19’s disappearance, and the kernel of truth the Loch Ness monster and other sea serpents. Gian’s continuing investigations have inspired or culminated in tangible explorations, both at sea and in the forests. He is also the founder of Pacific Northwest Expedition II, which is currently data-gathering.
. Gian is also a frequent guest on radio talk shows. He has also been the primary researcher on TV projects as well holding the powers of consultant or associate producer. His articles have appeared in historical journals as well as popular magazines.
His web site has generated unprecedented interest, with several hundred thousand regularly visiting it. It was listed in the Web’s Most Linked as being in the top 15 percent of visited web sites in the world.
Although educated in history (classical Western Civilization), Gian preferred film making and began his career by writing screenplays. A man who always preferred to remain behind the camera (“When you look like you came from under the camera, it is always best to remain behind it”) it is ironic then that he became well-known for his “hobby” of real life adventures into the mysteries of the world, and found television to be unavoidable. Gian and his work have been the subject of dozens of hours of TV, including several 1 hour long documentaries on Discovery Channel, History Channel, The Learning Channel, Travel Channel, BBC, TVN Poland, National Geographic Explorer and National Geographic TV & Film, SCI-FI Channel, NBC, plus several other independent TV companies in America and overseas.
Gian’s investigations, whether of the world of the unexplained or not, are not just those of a data gatherer or commentator. The object of data gathering is to find the solution. He has actively searched to uncover some of the mysteries, including the disappearance of Flight 19, the five Avengers lost in 1945. Moreover, his MS on the subject, They Flew into Oblivion (though not yet released), was the inspiration and basis for the stunning 2 hour SCI-FI Channel sponsored documentary produced by NBC NEWS Productions (aired November 27, 2005), which showcased NBC and SCI-FI Channel’s multimillion dollar search in the Okefenokee Swamp in southern Georgia for the lost flight, as well as the extensive at-sea search for the Martin Mariner, led by David Bright of Titanic and Andrea Doria fame. His data also inspired a lobby led by Congressman E. Clay Shaw (R. Florida), who then sponsored a Resolution in Congress honouring the men of the flight. This passed overwhelmingly on November 17, 2005, with a vote of 420 to 2. This was the first of its kind involving any of the great disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle.
Gian’s passion shall always be History and Film making. He can echo the words of traveler Richard Halliburton “I love places far away and times long ago. . . ” He is currently working on a number of screenplays and novels. He has a working knowledge of several languages and scripts. He is a native Californian and still resides there. He is also a strong supporter of continuing education, especially the programs at both Oxford University and the University of Cambridge.
