Well I have always totally ridiculed both of the above but now I am not so sure.
Firstly on UFOs I have at last seen a report that could be plausible.
From Guernsey of all places - seem by 2 prof pilots and their passengers!!!
As far as the conspiracy theories go - regarding the latest Foot and Mouth outbreak I was reading this article YESTERDAY.

ISIS Report, September 24, 2001
"Plum Island Animal Disease Centre had been researching foot and mouth disease since 1954. It is the repository for the North American Foot and Mouth Disease Vaccine Bank, established in 1982, which keeps vaccine for the US, Canada and Mexico [2].
Merial is a Merk and Aventis company that have foot-and-mouth vaccine production laboratories close to those of the government’s Institute for Animal Health at Pirbright, Surrey."
Note the date of the report - this was about the FIRST foot and mouth outbreak in 2001.
It has just been announced TODAY that
"The strain detected in infected cattle is identical to that used at the Institute for Animal Health, at Pirbright, three miles from the farm."

I now wonder about the first outbreak that cost this country over £9 BILLION!!! And they say it's the terrorists we need to worry about..........
