A mystery hum plaguing a Connecticut community, a triangular UFO photographed in Australia, and a strange case of missing cigarettes blamed on paranormal activity were among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.
A pair of maddening mysteries made headlines this past week, beginning with a Connecticut community that has been plagued by an inexplicable hum for the last several years. In response to irritated residents who lamented that their lives have been torn asunder by the sound, city officials signed off on an acoustic study to locate the noise and hopefully silence it for good. Meanwhile, in a Pennsylvania community, people say that they are dealing with a similar problem in the form of mysterious blasts that light up the night sky and shake their houses. Despite being captured on video, no one knows what is behind the booms that have been rocking Bensalem Township since at least 2024.

A rather fantastic photo of a triangular UFO caught our attention this week after an Australian miner revealed the image snapped early last month in the country's Pilbara region. The odd object was witnessed by six workers who noticed the aerial anomaly and struggled to explain what they were seeing. Also from the UFO front this past week, a Vermont lawmaker introduced a bill that would create a special government panel to investigate UAP sightings in the skies over the Green Mountain State. Finally, a peculiar new study produced a ranked list of states based on the odds of someone being abducted by aliens there, with New Hampshire taking the top spot and New Mexico coming in last.

Easily the weirdest story of the week came by way of Washington state, where cops were called by a resident with some rather odd concerns about possible paranormal activity in their home. One imagines that the Moses Lake Police Department dispatcher did something of a double-take when the unnamed man reported that his hand-rolled cigarettes had mysteriously gone missing in a matter of seconds. Having searched high and low for the smokes, the resident was left with no other explanation for their disappearance besides the fantastic theory that "paranormal activity" was to blame. Unfortunately, cops arriving on the scene found no sign of ghosts, aliens, Bigfoot, or any other supernatural suspects.
