Boy Takes UXO Home To Use As a Wall Decoration

Nantucket, Massachusetts An annual carnival turned out to be more than just rides and cotton candy for one 14 year old teenage boy after he came across a UXO. The boy reportedly found the UXO after wondering away from the carnival area with a friend. The munition, reportedly as a rocket (type unknown) was found near the Tom Nevers Navy Base on Navy FUDS bombing range.

The boy thought that the two-foot long rocket would make a nice decoration for his stepfather's bar so he decided to bring it home. The boy was allegedly cleaning off the munition item when his mother walked in. Mom quickly called the police who responded with a bomb disposal unit to remove the item from the house for proper disposal.
