The Testimony of Gary Heseltine (UK) For The Citizens Hearings Washington DC
Good morning,
My name is Gary Heseltine and I am a recently retired police detective in England having served almost 24 years with the British Transport Police.
I am here on behalf of police officers worldwide who have witnessed UFOs.
In January 2002 I created the POLICE REPORTING UFO SIGHTINGS website otherwise known as the PRUFOS Database, (www.prufospolicedatabase.co.uk) a facility for recording and collating on and off duty British police officer UFO reports.
When I began my research I did so with a handful of cases involving a dozen officers, 11 years later I can reveal that I now have over 425 cases taking place between 1901-2012 that involve in excess of 940 British police officers.
These sightings have taken place the length and breadth of Britain and have been reported at all times of the day.
Analysis of the cases on the database reveals that over 70% are multiple officer reports thus offering significant corroboration to a sighting event.
Many cases involve corroboration by 6 officers or more with events being witnessed by officers from multiple geographical locations.
In one particular case in excess of 24 police officers were involved in tracking at least one object over six counties of Britain on the night of March 30-31st 1993. This case is referred to as the Cosford Incident.
Many officers have observed structured craft of huge size and proportions in close proximity to their ground position. These craft range in shape and dimensions from tens of feet to many hundreds of feet in size.
Many of the police witness cases on the database are truly extraordinary and I will highlight three of these.
For example in October 1984 near RAF NORTHHOLT in Middlesex, a silent black triangular craft was seen at low altitude by two uniformed police officers on mobile patrol which they described as the being the size of three football fields. When I sought to clarify the estimate of the size the officer told me that the size was accurate because when it was observed it was seen directly over three football fields.
The source of this report is Police Constable ROBIN PERRY (Metropolitan Police).
On another occasion in October 1978 three uniformed police officers in a rural area of Buckinghamshire observed a huge object (described as the size of a football field) which suddenly and silently materialised in front of them in the blink of an eye and at relative close proximity to their position. A number of smaller objects were seen flying around the larger main craft. The larger object then projected a wide beam of light down to the ground as it slowly traversed the landscape for several minutes before suddenly disappearing in the blink of an eye. The manner of its appearance and disappearance was described as like switching a light bulb on and off.
The source of this report is Police Constable (ret) ERIC RAYMENT (Thames Valley Police).
Many officers have seen objects that appear to move in ways that seem to defy the known laws of physics and aerodynamics.
For example in May of 1981 or 82 two firearms officers were involved in the close protection of a then prominent Conservative Minister at a secret location in North Yorkshire. At approximately 0530 hours in the morning as they were walking in the grounds of the residence they suddenly became aware that the early morning sunshine had darkened. When they looked up to establish the cause they saw a huge dark purple cylindrical object, which had a pronounced undercarriage underneath it, that was described as being the length of a football field and hovering silently above the house at an altitude of 200/300 feet. The object remained motionless above the house for 5-10 minutes before it suddenly and silently accelerated toward the horizon at a tremendous speed. There it remained stationary for a short time before quickly accelerating out of sight.
The source of this report is Police Sergeant (ret) John Pawson (North Yorkshire Police).
In my introduction I mentioned that I would refer to police officer sightings worldwide and in the time permitted I would like to draw your attention to two particular countries where numerous police officer UFO sightings have taken place.
Namely I refer to the United States and Belgium.
Many of the US cases are outstanding and I will highlight two of them.
Just after midnight on 14th December 1994, 15 police officers of Trumball County, Ohio, observed multiple circular UFOs from different geographical positions. In one particular sighting the engine of police vehicle driven by Sergeant Toby Meloro suddenly cut out. When he got out of the vehicle he observed a UFO hovering directly above him and the vehicle. As soon as the object moved silently away from the vehicle engine restarted and for a short time tried to pursue it.
On 5th January 2000 in Illinois multiple police officers observed a large triangular craft that was witnessed from many different geographical locations and was sometimes seen at close proximity to their ground positions.
Broadly speaking all the officers involved in both of these incidents describe craft that moved in silence and which were able to make incredible high speed manoeuvres unlike that of any known aircraft.
Finally in the skies above Belgium between 1989-1991 hundreds of police officers observed large triangular objects all over the country. Many of these sightings involved multiple police officer witnesses and were frequently seen at relative close proximity to their ground locations. In addition many of these sightings were confirmed on multiple civilian and multiple military radar facilities.
In the allotted 10 minutes given to brief you I want to say on behalf of all police officers worldwide that what many of them have observed have been actual craft, physical in nature and which moved in ways that the officers involved have never witnessed before or since their encounters.
*At the end of my testimony I shall be submitting summary reports of all the cases I have highlighted here today for your perusal.
In closing I urge this panel to accept their collective testimonies as genuine and that they offer compelling circumstantial evidence that many of these sightings represent extraordinary unknown structured craft flying in the Earths airspace.
In closing and on a personal note I believe the time is now to lift the veil of secrecy that has shrouded this subject for over 60 years and that the subject of UFOs should now be openly accepted in the mainstream media as being real in nature which in turn would allow people from around the world to come forward without fear of ridicule and a risk to their careers.
As a police detective of many years service I believe the collective testimonial, documentary and physical evidence obtained in over sixty years of UFO research overwhelmingly confirms that some UFO sightings do represent an ongoing extraterrestrial engagement with planet Earth.
I am deeply honoured to have given testimony before this panel and I submit it to your on behalf of police officers worldwide.
Thank you.
