Did a UFO-Air Force Encounter Accidentally Kill 4 in New York?

Buried in a Project Blue Book file dated 1954 is a story that’s been forgotten by most…save for residents of Walesville, a small village in upstate New York. That July, an Air Force F-94 Starfire was flying toward an unidentified object to investigate it when something went wrong.

Within 25 minutes, the plane would crash, taking the lives of four people on the ground — destroying two houses and an automobile with a family inside.
