    O.J. Simpson passed away, a “blob” anomaly was spotted over Antarctica, and more UFOs may have been caught on camera. These are the weirdest things that happened this week, which will get covered in this Friday Night Live.
    After former NFL star O.J. Simpson's family announced his death on April 10, 2024, sports fans, celebrities, and true crime fanatics have been reacting and posting about the news. However, on top of all of the memes being created, there were a lot of memories coming up. The O.J. trial was one of the most watched programs of all time on TV, and it changed how people viewed television as well as how media agencies reported on the news. Since the internet didn’t exist yet, people were dependent on what the news media told them about the case. For the media companies, it wasn’t about if he was guilty or not; it was about milking this story for all it was worth as 30 million viewers tuned in every day. But did O.J. actually commit the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman? Why were certain facts left out of the courtroom, and why was America so fixated on the whole ordeal? Join Ben and Rob from Edge of Wonder as they unravel the history behind the case, what O.J. Simpson said for himself, and what others are saying today.
    Also on this show, there’s a mystery: A strange and unusual, massive, dark blob appeared on a map traveling north over Antarctica toward Africa—and 80-foot waves were spotted, as well. What was this strange anomaly? Was it just a glitch in the mapping system, as the company who spotted it stated? Is there more to this mystery? Find out on this Friday Night Live. Don’t forget about the Mandela Effect (or Bendela Effect, as we call them). What do you remember: Cheez-It or Cheez-Itz? Finish the show with everyone’s favorite, the Top 10 Weirder News of the Week, plus the “Dig Deep” Live Q&A only on Rise.TV! See you out… on the edge!

    Is There an Alien Camera? Nikon P1000 Discontinued During NASA Partnership

    Is There an Alien Camera? Nikon P1000 Discontinued During NASA Partnership

    👉 Watch all-new Edge of Wonder series, exclusive shows, and more on Rise TV!👉 Try Rise TV Free for 14 days!
    Is there an “alien camera”? Word on the street is that the Nikon P1000 is being discontinued on the same day that Nikon signed a Space Act Agreement with NASA.
    The P1000 could zoom in on celestial objects better than any other camera on the market, leaving amateur stargazers and UFO hunters wondering if this will impact their ability to capture what’s really going on in space. Simultaneously, the White House directed NASA to create a time zone for the moon, and the United States saw a rare solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. Join Rob Counts for a discussion about lunar happenings, photography, and the occult history of eclipses.
    Why were certain groups reportedly trying to generate fear around the eclipse? How did the changes in lunar and solar energy affect humans at the time? What symbolism is there around NASA’s APEP campaign, named after a “cosmic world serpent from ancient Egyptian cosmology”? Tune in for an otherworldly Edge of Wonder Live show out on the edge. Then, don’t miss the live Q&A followed by a meditation/prayer only on Rise.TV.

    Sesame Street Mandela Effect, Weird Weather & What’s Up With P. Diddy?

    Sesame Street Mandela Effect, Weird Weather & What’s Up With P. Diddy?

    👉 Watch all-new Edge of Wonder series, exclusive shows, and more on Rise TV!👉 Try Rise TV Free for 14 days! 
    There’s a new Sesame Street Mandela Effect, the weather is going wild, and what’s up with P. Diddy? These are the weirdest things that happened this week, and Friday Night Live will dive into them all.
    It’s the last weekend before the “great American solar eclipse,” and the weather is already acting weird. With an earthquake that just hit the New Jersey and New York area right after the earthquake that hit Taiwan, mainstream sources are wondering if this is because of climate change or something else. Surprisingly, some are following Bill Gates' suggestion of blocking out the sun—just like what The Simpsons predicted long ago. But what is “climate change” in relation to things like an eclipse or an earthquake? Tornado warnings and strange weather are happening all around the world, as well. 
    That’s not all: there’s a new photo of the Statue of Liberty's torch being hit by lightning around this same time, and some believe these are all warnings of something deeper that needs to be fixed. Back on Earth, more and more allegations are coming out about P. Diddy. He did host A-list celebrities, who have a lot to say. Diddy is freely walking around Miami and even going live on social media. What’s the truth? Why aren’t the mainstream media and other companies treating him the same way they did other celebrities who had allegations against them?
    In this episode’s weekly Mandela Effect or “Bendela Effect,” as they’re lovingly called, there’s a new, big one in the entertainment sphere: the Sesame Street character “the Count.” What do you remember his cape looking like? Join Edge of Wonder on this Friday Night as they dive deeper into these topics as well as the “Dig Deep” Live Q&A and the fan favorite Top 10 Weirder News of the Week only on Rise.TV. See you out… on the edge!

    CERN Targets Dark Matter on 2024 Solar Eclipse: What Could Go Wrong?

    CERN Targets Dark Matter on 2024 Solar Eclipse: What Could Go Wrong?

    👉 Watch all-new Edge of Wonder series, exclusive shows, and more on Rise TV!👉 Try Rise TV Free for 14 days!
    CERN is targeting dark matter during the 2024 total solar eclipse. What could go wrong? In what’s being hailed an “historic moment,” CERN will attempt to harness the power of the world's most renowned particle accelerator (the Large Hadron Collider or LHC). The purpose is to help scientists understand what they call “dark matter,” which is different from antimatter or dark energy.
    According to most scientific understandings, “dark matter” is still a “hypothetical form of matter.” (Then why CERN is spending millions to research some “hypothetical matter” if it’s only a theory. Do they already know it exists?) What is “dark matter” anyway? Dark matter is like an invisible force that's spread throughout the universe. It doesn't emit light or energy like stars or galaxies do, so it can’t be seen directly. However, scientists think it's there because of its gravitational effects.
    Just like how the Earth pulls things towards it, dark matter's gravity or attractive properties affect the movement of stars and galaxies—theoretically. It helps to hold them together and shapes the large-scale structure of the universe. In other words, it’s possible that CERN may be trying to manipulate dark matter and thus affect the gravitational force, which could cause a time shift or subspace distortion that in their words “would last only a fraction of a second.” In our words, though, “You’re trying to open up a time portal using a black hole.”
    How? The Large Hadron Collider will accelerate protons at nearly the speed of light, recreating conditions akin to those just after the “big bang,” in hopes of unveiling the secrets surrounding dark matter's influence on the formation of the universe. However, the “big bang” itself is still just a theory. Sir Roger Penrose shocked the world of physics when he stated that the big bang wasn’t the start of the universe, but rather, the end of a previous one. If that’s true, what if CERN isn’t just looking for dark matter from our own universe, but also the form of matter that came from the previous universe? Join Edge of Wonder to see what these new, wild experiments mean during the solar eclipse of 2024 and whether we can expect to discover even more Mandela Effects after April 8, 2024. Maybe we’ll find the cornucopia back in the Fruit of the Loom logo! At the end of the show, don’t miss the live Q&A followed by a mediation/prayer only on Rise.TV. See you out on the edge!

    Baltimore Bridge Collapse, P. Diddy Raid & Air Jordan Mandela Effect

    Baltimore Bridge Collapse, P. Diddy Raid & Air Jordan Mandela Effect

    The Baltimore Key Bridge collapsed, P. Diddy’s house was raided, and there’s a new Mandela Effect about Air Jordans that will blow your mind. These are some of the strange things that happened this week, which Ben and Rob will cover on this Friday Night Live.
    Sometimes it really feels like we’re living in an alternate reality, especially with the Baltimore bridge collapse happening nearly the same time that Sean “Diddy” Combs (a.k.a. “P. Diddy,” a.k.a. “Puffy,” a.k.a. “Puff Daddy”) is scrutinized by the feds.
    With the Francis Scott Key Bridge bridge, a lot of theories, rumors, and strange and unusual facts have emerged. Some wonder if it was a cyber attack, but if it was a planned attack, why would it be done at night? Who was involved? These are the known facts: Maersk, which chartered the Dali ship that hit the bridge, was involved in a cyberattack in 2017. The Chinese Communist Party has already infiltrated other US infrastructure. Ships do experience mistakes and navigational problems. Was this all planned, or just an accident like the authorities say? Join us tonight as Ben and Rob debate the realities and share what they discovered that you couldn’t find anywhere else.
    Also on this Friday Night Live, don’t miss the weekly Mandela Effect for a new one about the Air Jordan logo, also called the “Jumpman.” Ben found changes in the logo that were shocking! On the topic of Sean “Diddy” Combs, his homes were raided on suspicion of sex trafficking. Court documents have been exposed that listed high-level celebrities and executives who not only knew what was going on, but allegedly financially aided in his parties. There’s a lot to unpack in this episode, so be sure not to miss this Edge of Wonder Live followed by a “Dig Deep” Live Q&A and the fan favorite Top 10 Weirder News of the Week only on Rise.TV. See you out on the Edge!

    Is the Kate Middleton video real? Before, everyone was wondering, “Where is Kate Middleton?” Now, everyone is asking if the person in the Kate Middleton video, which was produced by the BBC, is real. Kate revealed for the first time that she has cancer, so we thought this would put an end to all of the speculation about her whereabouts. However, some inconsistencies emerged, with certain eagle-eyed observations making everyone question if this is really Kate Middleton. Ben found some things that haven't been talked about in the media, as well as disproving some of what other people claimed.
    Could some of these videos just be poor editing, or did AI generate this latest video of Kate Middleton? Both Ben and Rob have their own views on the matter that they’ll debate tonight. Also, speaking of eclipses like the upcoming 2024 eclipse, there may be a “total eclipse of the heart” as new details emerge about Prince William’s hidden past and King Charles’ health. At the end of the show, don’t miss the live Q&A followed by a mediation/prayer only on Rise.TV. See you out on the edge!
