13559 (MSN 880-8343, 27th FIS) crashed Jul 2, 1954 after both crewmembers
ejected after a fire warning light had illuminated.  Aircraft crashed
at Walesville Intersection, NY, killing 4 people on the ground.
This incident is often listed in UFO lore as being brought down
while chasing a UFO.  Supposedly, when the pilot tried to close
in on the target, a sudden, unbearable heat filled the cockpit,
forcing the crew to bail out.  The F-94 was on a routine training
mission when GCI requested the plane intercept an unknown
aircraft.  The pilot identified it as a C-47 and was then requested
to check out a second unidentified aircraft (later described
as an unidentified weather balloon).  When the pilot started
a descent, he noted an increase in cockpit temperature and noted
the fire warning light, the engine was shut down and both
crewmembers ejected successfully.
