While creating a scenario from scratch (i.e, start with a blank map, drop colony pods, and build bases), I noticed that some of the bases had built Secret Projects. I had not advanced any turns yet, so this spontaneous development is a mystery to me. I have the 3.0 patch.

1) Any suggestions on how this may have happened?
2) Any suggestions on how to get rid of them? I'm afraid if I just kill them in the 'Edit base' mode that they'll be unavailable for the rest of the game.
