Numerous refugees said they had
seen big missiles before leaving
the island.
And sources inside Cuba sent
word that's missiles were
being transported from Soviet
ships.
But coming from untrained
observers who had never seen
a missile before, such reports
could not be considered accurate
and wholly reliable . ,-.
Certainly they were not dependable
enough to alert the President ...
the nation .. . and the Hemisphere.
Meanwhile ... on 5 September

sweep over selected areas around

were detected.
