Plum Island, formerly Ft. Terry, is an animal facility comprising various labs. FADDL, or the Foreign Animal Disease Diagnostic Lab is a diagnostic facility that is a full service diagnostic laboratory receiving samples from around the world. PIADC, the Plum Island Animal Disease Center comprises various laboratory facilities and studies exotic diseases of animals.
Plum Island is a pork chop shaped island, an army research facility rumored to be an incubator for germ warfare, about one mile and a half off the north fork shore at Orient Point, Long Island. It is approximately 10 miles across Long Island Sound from US submarine base at Groton, Connecticut. Plum Island is accessible by Government Ferryboat only. There are two Ferryboat docks, one at Orient Point on Long Island, and the other at Old Saybrook, Connecticut near Lyme Connecticut.
There has been a lot of speculation if the Montauk Monster or “related” creatures have originated from Plum Island.
With theories running wild as to “what really goes on there”, it seems odd that the federal government is currently looking to sell Plum Island to a private company or owner. The research that is being conducted on Plum Island will continue in Manhattan, Kansas.
