When a talk show host married a former model, he had no idea that she would reveal she was a brainwashed CIA secret agent. Was she the subject of government mind control experiments, or is her troubled childhood to blame?

Science-Fiction as a genre, whether the written word or the visual, has some basis in science fact, even the barest inkling, no matter how far out the box.
In a new series the Science channel explores real life Twilight Zone scenarios called Dark Matters: Twisted But True. To make this new series pop, John Noble, known as Walter from Fringe, will host the show which is based on the realism of crazy but true science stories.
The show will examine scientific research that has been taken too far, in a six-part series. The show will center on strange science and expose some of history’s most bizarre experiments and delve into the most unusual research such as an attempt to crossbreed humans and apes. Now that is certainly bizarre, and seriously crazy.
To make this a truly interesting experience the audience will be able to see these situations with cutting-edge CGI recreations which will she the the pivotal moments when brilliant minds face controversy or ethical crossroads on the fringes of science. Dark Matters: Twisted But True premieres Wednesday, August 31, at 10:00 PM (ET/PT).
“The stories we share in DARK MATTERS: TWISTED BUT TRUE are as outlandish as a great sci-fi script or as disturbing as a classic horror tale — the only difference is that they’re all true,” said Noble. “The series offers a glimpse into the dark side of science, as well as human nature.”
“DARK MATTERS: TWISTED BUT TRUE offers a fascinating insight into moments of scientific history where individuals went to extreme measures to achieve a breakthrough. It’s impossible to turn away from these true stories that you always assumed were just outlandish urban legends,” said Debbie Adler Myers, general manager and executive vice president of SCIENCE. “This is real science — just the dark side of it, featuring brilliant minds who eventually took a dramatic turn. John Noble is the perfect tour guide to escort viewers through this bizarre world of research gone horribly wrong, but that in some cases, actually led to technology and science that we use today.”
The series premiere features the shocking story of Soviet scientist Dr. Ilya Ivanov, who in the 1920s attempted to start his own “planet of the apes.” In an attempt to build an invincible army, Ivanov tried to crossbreed humans with apes to create a race of supersoldiers. Viewers also will be introduced to Morris Jessup, a self-identified UFO expert who attempted to expose what he believed to be a military cover-up involving experiments with invisibility. Finally, unorthodox studies by America’s greatest inventor, Thomas Edison, result in a dark and unintended invention which remains infamous today.
