On January 31st, 1956 at approximately 4:09 p.m. an Air Force B-25
Mitchell Bomber, on a cross country flight from Nellis Air Force Base (AREA 51) in Nevada
to Washington, D.C., mysteriously lost power and ditched into the dark waters of the
Monongahela River within the City of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania...and disappeared without a
trace. Out of the 6 official crewmembers, two drowned and four survived. Yet, who was the
mysterious 7th man pulled from the river?
Now you can follow the true-life adventures of investigator Robert Johns as he encounters:
official stonewalling, governmental harrassment and cover-up, a Deep Throat agent, death
threats, attempts on his life... LOVE... Redemption... mysterious cargo, THE 7TH MAN,
missing time, and a twisted trail of facts and conspiracy that leads from the enigmatic
