Book Synopsis
On the night of March 31, 1967, a series of strange events occurred in South Florida involving several unidentified flying objects, U.S. and Cuban military personnel, and hundreds of civilian witnesses. Bill Schroeder, a young Army fire control operator at B Battery HAWK missile site in Key West, tracked several objects on radar traveling at impossible speeds. These “bogeys” evaded both U.S. and Cuban fighter jets scrambled to intercept them. Even more disturbing, the UFOs emitted an electromagnetic countermeasure that disabled B Battery’s electronic surveillance and destroyed one of the Cuban MiG-21s. Unknown Down shines a light on Schroeder’s experience and includes other witness accounts, interviews with military personnel who experienced similar incidents, and UFO researchers who point to the significance of cases involving military/missile bases, military witnesses, confirmed radar acquisition, and other tangible evidence supporting the existence of UFOs.
