Paranormal News This Week: Mystery Stone Attacks, Wolverhampton UFO Video and the Earhart Search
The KASE Weekly | 30 September–6 October 2026
Stones hitting rooftops after dark, three lights keeping formation over Wolverhampton and an expedition finally leaving to investigate one of aviation's biggest mysteries. This week's stories give us something more useful than another argument about whether we believe: specific claims that can be checked.
In India, frightened residents want the stone attacks stopped. In England, newly circulated footage raises a familiar question about what three lights actually tell us. In the Pacific, researchers are going to look at an object rather than endlessly debating its picture. Curiosity is welcome in all three cases. So is a decent record of what happened.
Mystery stone attacks leave an Indian village afraid of the night
An Indo-Asian News Service report published on 4 October describes residents of Appajipeta, in Andhra Pradesh's Anantapur district, reporting repeated stones striking their homes. The incidents had reportedly continued for about a week, particularly around 10pm. Residents described damage and minor injuries.
The report says four constables were deployed after a complaint, and villagers joined a watch from a nearby hillock. According to residents, the stones continued despite that vigil. Some suspected paranormal activity. The exact starting date and the stones' trajectories are not established in the published account.
Coast to Coast AM picked up the story on 6 October. Its description of stone showers is evocative, but the underlying report describes suspected stone-throwing. Those are not interchangeable explanations. Nobody identifying a thrower is different from demonstrating that the stones materialised or fell from an impossible direction.
The KASE take
The immediate concern is the people living beneath those roofs. An unexplained attack still needs investigating, even when its eventual explanation may be entirely ordinary.
We would start with timing, impact locations and lines of sight. Cameras facing different directions, with synchronised clocks, could help establish whether the stones come from one place or several. A patrol can miss an obscured launch point; watching from a hill does not automatically provide a view behind every wall or tree. Deliberate throwing remains a possibility to test, not an accusation against any particular resident.
The stones themselves matter too. Where were they collected, who handled them, and do they resemble nearby material? Photographs of damage should be linked to a specific time and roof, rather than gathered into a general collection of frightening incidents.
We have not obtained a police incident record, original recordings showing the stones' approach, or a documented inspection of the sites. Gulf Today's coverage is credited to the same news agency, so it is another publication of the account, not independent confirmation of its extraordinary details.
There is enough here to take the residents' concern seriously. There is not enough to identify a paranormal cause. Before reaching for a poltergeist, establish where the rocks are coming from.
Three lights over Wolverhampton: one object or three?
A video reportedly filmed in Wolverhampton on 23 August 2026 shows three lights moving in a triangular formation. Coast to Coast AM covered it on 5 October after it began circulating online over the weekend.
According to the witness account shared by MUFON, the lights moved slowly across the western sky without making a sound. They appeared to stay the same distance apart, but the witness could not see anything joining them. There were no reported sharp turns or sudden bursts of speed.
The clip is on YouTube under MUFON case number 149194. We haven't seen the original recording or a published conclusion from MUFON about what it shows.
The KASE take
It's easy to see why three lights in formation suggest a triangular craft. The question is whether we're looking at the corners of one object or three separate lights.
From the ground, that can be surprisingly difficult to judge. We would check for aircraft, drones and lanterns, using the recording time, viewing direction and weather that night. Without those details, picking one would be a guess.
The original, unedited video would help. So would another recording from a different location: a second angle could reveal how far away the lights were and whether they really held formation. We'd also want to see how they arrived and disappeared, rather than just the middle of the sighting.
For now, we don't know what the lights were. The footage is worth a closer look, but three lights alone aren't enough to identify an alien craft or a secret military aircraft.
The Earhart search leaves the departure lounge
There is a concrete development in the search for Amelia Earhart's missing aircraft. Purdue University confirmed on 2 October that three expedition members departed from its airport, beginning the Taraia Object expedition. The joint effort involves the Archaeological Legacy Institute, Purdue Research Foundation and Purdue University.
The target is a visual anomaly in the lagoon of Nikumaroro, in the South Pacific. The expedition aims to establish whether it could be a remnant of Earhart's Lockheed Electra 10-E. Purdue's published itinerary said all 17 members would gather at Tarawa on 6 October and depart by sea on 7 October. Those later stages are the announced plan, not arrivals or departures we have independently confirmed.
The idea has been discussed before. What qualifies it for this edition is the documented departure, rather than another announcement that a search might eventually happen. There is no confirmed aircraft discovery in the sources reviewed for this article.
The KASE take
An object that looks promising in an image is a reason to investigate. It is not an identification.
The expedition has a testable target. Close inspection could show aircraft material, a different wreck, natural features or something else entirely. If manufactured parts are found, measurements, construction details, markings and documented recovery would matter far more than a suggestive outline. Even identifying aircraft wreckage would not, by itself, identify Earhart's aircraft.
We would want the team to publish clear records of where it searched, what it observed and how any material was assessed. A negative result would be useful too, provided the survey's coverage and limits were explained. Not finding something in one area is different from ruling out every version of a much larger historical mystery.
Purdue and its partners are participants with a clear interest in the expedition. Their departure photographs support the operational update; their enthusiasm does not establish what is in the lagoon. This is a worthwhile search with an answer still to come. Let the fieldwork do the talking.
What this week tells us
The stone reports need a source and a timeline. The Wolverhampton lights need geometry and original files. The Earhart expedition needs identifiable material and a documented search. Each story becomes more interesting when we ask what would actually settle it, rather than which explanation makes the best headline.
Which would you investigate first, and what single piece of evidence would you ask for before forming a view?
