In a fresh interview with journalist Ross Coulthart on NewsNation's Reality Check, Battista dropped exclusive footage he shot in his own backyard in 2023.
The clip allegedly captures a shapeshifting "non-human entity" with a football-shaped head, tiny eyes, insect-like features, and even wing-like appendages—think praying mantis meets ancient petroglyph.
But here's where it gets spicy: Viewers are split. Some hail it as "the best footage yet" of an otherworldly being, tying it to historical rock art depictions of similar entities.
Others? Total letdown. The low-res video (shot on a phone, apparently) has sparked backlash, with critics saying it looks like a blurry bug or a hoax, potentially tarnishing the whole UAP disclosure movement.
Join Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts on this Edge of Wonder Friday Night Live as they show the footage they have their viewers decide.
In related news, astronomers just spotted a new interstellar-ish object Swan R2 that is headed towards Earth. Could it be a probe from 3i/Atlas or just a comet passing through?
Also on tonight’s show is the Bendela Effect and the Metaphysical Minute segments.
During the “Dig Deep” Live Q&A segment, ask Ben and Rob your questions directly. In the fan-favorite Top 10 Weirder News of the Week, hear hilarious and bizarre stories such as….only on Rise TV.
And as always we will see you out…On the edge!
