Spinning Fish, Strange Weather

In the Florida Keys, sawfish are being spotted spinning in circles nonstop until they die—something strange and mysterious that’s baffling experts and scientists.

They’ve been trying to understand what’s causing them to spin, thrash, and ultimately beach themselves. Some scientists believe high amounts of algae are the cause, but others say that wouldn’t create the fishes’ issues. There are rumors online that HAARP or other facilities are doing secret weather experiments. Others think the animals are confused by a pole shift, that pharmaceuticals in the ocean are to blame, or that there’s been some kind of oil spill. Hear all the theories tonight.

Speaking of secret bases, CBS published an article about a group of veterans who are becoming sick after working at a secret military base, but aren’t able to get government aid. Why? Because the government hasn’t acknowledged that the base actually exists.

This allegedly created an issue: If other military personnel were at secret bases and got sick, would these be ignored, as well? Can we trust that secret bases and secret facilities don’t exist simply because the claims have been denied? Here’s more from Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts on The Edge of Wonder.

From Single Cells to Humans

The emergence of life began 4 billion years ago in the form of single-cell organisms. It proceeded in three different directions called domains, which are the top classification levels. They included different types of algae that became the plant kingdom; various molds or the fungus kingdom; and amoeba-like organisms that evolved into the animal kingdom. Because the mechanisms involved, such as mutation and natural selection, had long periods to work with, each new development along the evolutionary cycle took tens of millions of years. Matt Baker of Useful Charts explains the process.
