Gary Heseltine: 1,100 Police Officers and the UFO Mystery
5/6/20261 hr 18 min
Gary Heseltine returns to That UFO Podcast to discuss the PRUFOS Police Database, an archive of UFO reports involving serving and retired British police officers.
Gary, a former British Transport Police detective, explains why police testimony deserves serious attention, how he built the database, and what patterns appear across decades of reports. We discuss on-duty and off-duty sightings, witness stigma, cases involving multiple officers, and why trained observers may offer one of the most overlooked bodies of evidence in the UFO subject.
We also get into some of the standout cases from the database, including historical sightings, multi-officer incidents, and the question of what this evidence might mean if it were viewed through the lens of a courtroom.

The object, it was described as being about 300 or 400 feet in diameter, or ri- or, or shall we say, the width of a football field. And flying around it were six smaller cylindrical craft in total silence. It is then scanning the terrain with a h- beam of light. They all see it, and then suddenly [snaps finger] disappears. Some people have been crying down the phone to me because they've unloaded onto me, and they, they started off by being very sheepish and say, "You're gonna think I'm crazy." But I have had police officers crying several times down the phone because they've never told their wives, they've never told their girlfriends, they've never told their family because of the stigma.
