Group To Probe Ufo Reported Over Acton

Volunteer UFO investigators would like to learn more about a strange object they said a passing motorist reported and photographed in the Acton vicinity last July. Steve Firmani, director of the New England Mutual UFO Network, confirmed the organization received a report and photograph depicting an object a motorist reported seeing over Route 2 near the Acton and Littleton town lines on July 31. In the report, the unnamed motorist described seeing a "reflective, black tube-shaped object traveling in an easterly direction." The driver, headed west on Route 2, stopped at the Newtown Road exit to take a picture. The object is described as about 30 feet long and six feet in diameter and was perhaps 200 to 300 feet in the air when first spotted. At this time, the motorist said the object was now about 1,000 to 1,500 feet high and still traveling east. The photo attached to the report was taken with a 35-millimeter film camera, the report said. The report describes the model of camera and speed and type of film used, as well as the zoom of the camera used to take the photo. The Mutual UFO Network, commonly known as MUFON, is a multi-chapter organization of volunteers that fields reports of unidentified flying objects and other mysterious sightings. Volunteer investigators interview those who report sightings and may call in expert help to examine evidence that is offered, such as photographs. Firmani, of Leominster, said his MUFON chapter hopes to assign an investigator to the report soon.
