(vanity unsourced) Ian Punnett C to C AM, reporting a source says Britain highest-ever terror alert?

OK so it's the same program which routinely reports on alien abductions, and ufos. And which really truly believed the Comet Hale-Bopp was accompanied by some sort of craft.

Members of the public should always remain alert to the danger of terrorism and report any suspicious activity to the police on 999 or the anti-terrorist hotline: 0800 789 321. If your information does not relate to an imminent threat, you can also contact the Security Service via the How You Can Help page.
Current threat level

The current threat level is assessed as SEVERE (as of 4th July 2007 - see threat level history for previous changes).

This means there is a high likelihood of future terrorist attacks and indicates a continuing high level of threat to the UK.

See The UK’s threat level system for more information on what threat levels mean, who decides the level of threat and how the threat level system is used.

The Government continues to maintain a state of heightened readiness in response to the threat from international terrorism. It remains the Government’s policy to issue warnings or advice if this ever became necessary to protect public safety in the event of a specific and credible terrorist threat.
Source and form of the threat

The threat of international terrorism comes from a diverse range of sources, including Al Qaida and associated networks, and those who share Al Qaida’s ideology but do not have direct contact with them. A threat could manifest itself from a lone individual or group, rather than a larger network. Domestic terrorism related to Northern Ireland, principally from dissident Irish Republican and Loyalist terrorist groups, also remains a threat.

The terrorist threat can take a number of forms, as terrorists may use a variety of methods of attack to achieve their objectives. These may include explosive devices, firearms, missiles, kidnapping, infiltration and electronic attacks. See the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) (new window) website for practical advice on how to defend against these threats.
