Kurt Cobain’s autopsy report has been leaked to the public for the first time ever, which has only added fuel to the conspiracy fire. Did Kurt Cobain actually kill himself? Why did they do the autopsy within 24 hours of his death and then cremate his body before a toxicity report came back? Check out what private investigator Tom Grant—who Kurt Cobain’s wife Courtney Love hired—thinks about it and what retired Seattle Police Commander Neil Low has said.
Low recently came forward with new information, saying that the entire case needed to be reopened and examined again. Why? Because of suspicious details of Kurt Cobain’s reported “suicide note,” along with a second note that Courney Love held in secret until a few weeks after Kurt Cobain’s death. Did Kurt Cobain really kill himself, or was he killed over a failed marriage and a desire to start a new life? And what was Kurt Cobain’s connection to Kristen Pfaff, who played bass in Courtney Love’s band Hole? Kristen Pfaff was found dead just a few months after Kurt Cobain. Why were missing pages missing in her journal after her death? Was this all just a botched investigation by the police, and there’s no conspiracy? Was Kurt Cobain actually murdered, and someone wanted to cover it up? Nearly 30 years after his death, we’re still looking for answers as slowly, details emerge about Kurt Cobain’s strange death.
Also on this Friday Night Live with Ben and Rob from Edge of Wonder, don’t miss how mainstream science is discussing if we’ll ever consider the occult as “science.” Archaeologists find more strange, ancient objects that have a mysterious purpose. New Loch Ness Monster photos emerge. The Jersey Devil may have been photographed in Pennsylvania (or maybe it’s the Mothman). Rumors swirl that the James Webb telescope might have found civilization on another planet.

The CIA did secret research on astral projection and questioned if we’re living in a holographic universe. If that weren’t enough, the CIA even recruited people to train them on achieving different states of consciousness. Why? They wanted to attempt to time travel back into the past to see events, or look into the future to see what would happen. And this isn’t a rumor or conspiracy theory: There were pages declassified from the CIA’s archives, and now, one mysterious document is available. One of the pages was originally omitted, but Ben and Rob hunted it down. Some of the conclusions that the CIA came to are literally out of this world.
The governmental agency also studied how transcendental meditation affects the body, and they monitored the flow of energy in people’s bodies. Did they gain any understanding of how we’re all connected to the universe? The report was written by US Army Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M. McDonnell, with technical assistance from mastermind Israeli-American biomedical engineer Itzhak Bentov. A man by the name of Robert Monroe led the research, and interestingly, he later founded an organization called The Monroe Institute to study consciousness.
The CIA’s document explained how they listened to certain rhythms and beats, which we now call binaural beats. They found that brain waves change as a person listens, inducing a meditative state and making it easier for REM sleep. What are the implications of that research? Join Ben and Rob on this Edge of Wonder Live as they discuss this mind blowing document that was only intended for the CIA’s top brass on transcending space-time, interdimensional travel, hypnosis, biofeedback, quantum physics, and universal holograms.

Friday Night Live: Plants Have Feelings?! Water Has Memory & Weirder News [Jan 19]
Saturday Jan 20, 2024
Saturday Jan 20, 2024
How would you view the world, your daily life, and even what you eat if you not only knew plants were alive, but also had feelings? What if they could communicate and even read minds? Japanese scientists found that undamaged plants sent defense responses to nearby plants, fundamentally changing the perception of sentience in this world. They found that plants respond to airborne warning messages when another plant nearby is threatened, as well. This goes to show that there is so much more to life, our universe, and even our physical bodies that we still have yet to discover and understand. In fact, the foods we eat play a crucial element to our overall development and physical and mental wellbeing, which then affects the world around us.
Why are people being pushed to cut out meat, eggs, butter, and salt, but we don't hear much about cutting out highly processed or sugary foods? Join Ben and Rob on this Friday Night Live as they explore these topics more deeply, as well as the miracles of water and how our thinking can shape both the way we feel and also the environment around us. Be sure not to miss the weekly Mandela Effect (or “Bendela Effect” as Rob calls them), the live Q&A, and of course the Top 10 Weirder News of the Week. This week’s list features Hulk Hogan becoming a real hero, a man getting stuck in the bathroom on a plane, a man dresses up as his girlfriend to take an exam, and a spooky ghost encounter.👉 Try Rise.TV for 97 Cents!

Taylor Swift is on her way to being one of the most popular artists of this generation. And of course, fame doesn’t come without a whole lot of controversy: everything from her fans having amnesia after her concerts to being blamed for Lana Del Rey’s stolen laptop to accusations her videos have dark symbolism. How about Taylor Swift dating Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, or the media frenzy that was caused by speaking candidly with her friend Selena Gomez? Weirdest of all, Jesse Watters from FOX News had on Stuart Kaplan, a former FBI special agent, who mentioned on live TV that it was possible Taylor Swift was being used to sway votes. For one, after Taylor Swift posted a link to vote.gov, thousands of new voters signed up. Kaplan mentioned a “perception optics management team” and believed it was possible that they were working with Taylor Swift.
Of course, the Pentagon said that they were going to “shake it off” after the accusation emerged, and the mainstream media has been criticizing anyone talking about it. Is there any truth to this news, or is it just a weird, fringe conspiracy theory? Join Ben and Rob from Rise.TV as they dive deeper into the facts and discuss how music has changed over the years. Why don’t we see many songs that changed our world the way they did decades ago? Also don’t miss out on the live Q&A along with a meditation/prayer only on Rise.TV.

Did you know that the “new year” wasn’t always celebrated on January 1? Why did that change? Every culture around the world celebrates a different day for the New Year, but when was this changed in modern history? More importantly, why did Pope Gregory XIII make the change to switch to the Gregorian calendar? The secret reason why will not only shock you, but also make you wonder why we don’t go back to the original way. Did our year once upon a time actually have 13 months? Astrological calendars still seem to follow the original calendar, with the year ending in March under Pisces and the year beginning in April with Aries. Speaking of April, that brings up April Fools Day, April 1. Since some people still celebrated April 1 as the new year, they were considered “fools.” Join Ben and Rob on this Friday Night Live as they reveal the secrets of the new year calendar, plus more.

The Rendlesham Forest UFO Incident happened exactly 43 years ago, on December 26, 1980. Did the US Air Force see UFOs during “Britain’s Roswell”? What did Lieutenant Colonel Charles Halt’s men see in the woods that startled them so much, he wrote a report to the UK Ministry of Defence about it? A major National Press Club conference was held years later in Washington D.C. with Halt and other US military veterans to reveal what they saw at different military bases and share their experiences. Allegedly, UFOs tampered with multiple nuclear weapons. Disc-shaped objects, bright lights, dysfunctional missile silos, and craft over weapons bunkers are just the beginning of this whistleblower testimony. Join Ben and Rob from Edge of Wonder as they discuss the behind-the-scenes military handshakes happening for decades between America, Britain, and even Russia.
In this episode, Ben and Rob discuss eyewitness testimony from nuclear missile site experts in the United States military. Debate with Edge of Wonder what information was covered up, never reported at all, or just plain imagined. Are there benevolent beings trying to send a message that nuclear technology has gone too far, and humans are getting help so they don’t destroy themselves? Multiple air force bases around the world have had incidents that shocked some witnesses to the core—but that didn’t surprise their superiors in the least. Just how common are UFO sightings around such bases if encounters are regularly being swept under the rug, not investigated properly, or witnesses are deemed crazy for speaking out?
