We present near-IR imaging and spectroscopy of the newly discovered CO molecular outflow sources associated with IRAS 03271 + 3013 and IRAS 03282 + 3035. We have identified the central exciting source in IRAS 03271 + 3013 which lies within 5 arcsec of the IRAS coordinates. The star is heavily reddened, has bright molecular hydrogen (H2) line emission and appears surrounded by a faint nebula about 5 arcsec in extent. Diffuse emission possibly extends to the north of the object. The H2 line fluxes suggest that the emission is shock-excited and that the line emission region is over-laid by about 51 magnitudes of visual extinction. No stellar sources were detected within 30 arcsec of the coordinates of IRAS 03282 + 3035 implying the exciting source of this outflow is considerably more obscured than that of IRAS 03271 + 3013.
