Mysterious Blob Stalks Manhattan & Drone Sightings Continue

08/08/2025

A massive anomaly, dubbed the “Hot Blob,” was spotted by scientists moving slowly beneath the Appalachian Mountains, gradually oozing toward New York City. Could this anomaly explain the recent drone sightings over New York State and New Jersey?

Local residents continue to report drone sightings, despite media coverage fading, which makes it seem as though the drones have disappeared. Could these drones be studying the “Hot Blob,” or do they serve another purpose?

ChatGPT-5 has been released, as well, and users are already reporting issues. On this Edge of Wonder Live, join Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts as they discuss a haunting underwater voice, a possibly real fairy caught on camera, and more.

During the “Dig Deep” Q&A segment, ask Ben and Rob your questions directly. In the fan-favorite Top 10 Weird News of the Week, hear hilarious and bizarre stories, such as people flocking to Washington, D.C., to see the “corpse flower”; a Denmark zoo seeking unwanted pets for a disturbing purpose; a radioactive wasp nest discovered; and more—exclusively on Rise.TV.

And as always, see you out … on the edge!

Live Q&A: “Is China linking AI to nuclear weapons?” “Is it a Mandela Effect that Steve Perry from Journey is alive?” “For $500,000, an animal will chase you for 48 hours. What animal would you choose?” “What are the reasons you’re happy you left NYC? What do you miss the most?” “Do you think there will be a fake alien invasion?” “When will you do another Edge of Wonder special?”

Top 10 Weirder News of the Week:

10. A swirling black ring loomed over a Kansas town.

9. An Iron Age statue with clearly visible 3000-year-0ld “fingerprints” was found.

8. A man turned his car hood into an aquarium.

7. One mom gave birth on the same day four times, so she’s up to four kids with the same birthday!

6. A Denmark zoo asked the public to donate unwanted pets or horses to feed captive predators.

5. An angler expecting a fish pulled up a rare, 700-year-old sword.

4. A talking parrot helped bring down a drug gang.

3. A radioactive wasp nest was found at a site where the US once made nuclear bombs.

2. The partying “Ibiza final boss” went viral for his haircut.

1. People flocked to Washington, DC to get a whiff of an unspeakably foul-smelling “corpse flower.”
