New England MUFON
A witness at Fall River, MA, is questioning what appears to be a cigar-shaped object in a photo he shot February 20, 2010, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
"I showed my wife and several friends, and all agreed that although the object is difficult to see clearly due to its distance, it does not in fact appear to have wings or a tail," the witness stated.
Fall River is a city in Bristol County, MA, population 90,931.
The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If New England MUFON State Director Steve Firmani investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update.
One extra caution: Sometimes jets and airplanes - if photographed at the right angle - appear to have no wings.
MA, February 20, 2010 - Shot photo of UFO in distance while taking photos of Coast Guard helicopter. MUFON Case # 22457.
On February 20, 2010, at 9:39 AM, my toddler son and I were walking on the boardwalk at Fall River Heritage State Park, Fall River MA.

We saw a US Coast Guard helicopter fly directly overhead very low to the ground along the edge of the Taunton River, heading north. Because my son loves helicopters, I took my digital camera out and started photographing it.
As I was shooting photos, the helicopter turned west and accelerated quickly across the river toward Somerset, MA. I saw an object in the distance, moving at a steady speed in a northbound direction. One of my photos captured this object. At first, although I did notice it, I didn't pay it much attention, assuming it might be a plane departing TF Green Airport in Providence RI. The object continued to fly in a northerly direction until it was out of sight past the treeline along the river.
However, when I uploaded the photos to my computer, I looked at the one of this object and noticed that it doesn't appear to have wings or a tail section. I showed my wife and several friends, and all agreed that although the object is difficult to see clearly due to its distance, it does not in fact appear to have wings or a tail.
The first attached photo is the original unedited photo. I was standing on the aforementioned State Park boardwalk, facing west. The second photo is cropped and zoomed to show the helicopter and object relative to each other.
Comments
Roger, Remember the T-6 trainer the lady took over the lake last Summer. You couldn't see its wings either because of the position it was in. I would like to get Marc's opinion on this one.
The Helicopter looks Photo shopped.
Who cares! UFO or not? They have been here for centuries. Who needs government to say they are real? Yeah why are they here? Well why are we here?!
Seen it, was right under it had no wings!
