Not true. Like most conspiracy theories, it's rather preposterous. The government's side of the story is both less ridiculous and less intriguing. According to military representatives, the plane was carrying no secret cargo - instead, it was to deliver two people to Harrisburg, as well as pick up airplane parts. Due to a malfunction the plane ran out of fuel on the way to its destination. The crew tried to turn around and get to a nearby airport, but by the time they realized they were under-fueled they were just too far away. The engines sputtered to a halt over the Mon, and the pilot crashed it there. As for the search operation, the plane was almost found, but not quite. On the second day they hooked onto what appeared to be the wing of the plane, but the hook became unhinged and the plane sank back into the river. In the following days the river was dragged by searchers, resulting in a few broken cables due to other objects underneath the water, but no plane was found. In two weeks the government gave up. http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=579
