What Happens on This Secluded US Government Owned Island? #shorts

Situated off the coast of Long Island, New York, Plum Island is just three miles long and one mile wide. It is owned by the US government and has been the subject of many conspiracy theories.

The island was bought in 1659 by the Governor of Connecticut from Wyandanch, the local ruling native chieftain of Long Island. The price was 100 fish hooks, a coat and a barrel of biscuits.

It was owned by more than 20 families before being bought by the government in 1899 for $90,000. In 1954 the Department of Agriculture created the Plum Island Animal Disease Centre. Studies held there was said to be for the benefit of ranchers, farmers, and the national food supply. Because of the nature of the research access to the island is strictly off limits. The Department of Homeland Security took over all the facilities in 2003.

The conspiracy theories have probably emerged because the place is shrouded in so much secrecy and several strange creatures have washed up on the shores around the island over the years. Like the famous Montauk Monster. Are these creatures failed animal experiments that the government doesn’t want us to know about?
