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 caused the destruction of one of the Cuban MiG-21s. Told by his superiors the incident was part of a NORAD drill and not to discuss it with anyone, Bill Schroeder lived with this secret for years before finally coming forward with his story. Author Jack Roth shares Schroeder’s incredible account, along with other witness testimony and details that have been brought to light over the years as a result of Schroeder’s persistent research. Unknown Down also includes interviews with former military personnel who experienced similar encounters 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.

JACK ROTH is a veteran writer and investigative journalist who has spent the past two decades researching and documenting unexplained phenomena, including hauntings, UFO sightings and alien abductions. He initially went down the “rabbit hole” in 1995 when he took some life-changing photographs at a haunted plantation in Louisiana. Since then, he has felt compelled to search for the answers to some of life’s biggest mysteries. He conducted seven years of research for his first book, Ghost Soldiers of Gettysburg, in which he and co-author Patrick Burke documented both the battle history and paranormal legacy of America’s most historic sites. Jack considers his quest a journey of enlightenment, and his goal is to continue to document his research and experiences for the benefit of those who continue to live in the shadows of secrecy and for the hope of a brighter future for humanity.
