Episode Bio: In this episode your hosts Gary & Shona Allen welcome special guest Gary Heseltine..Gary is a former British Police Officer, Editor of UFO Truth Magazine, creator of PRUFOS (Police Reporting UFO Sightings) database, UFO researcher and author. Gary will be discussing with us his own UFO experience, research and his fascinating new book 'Non-Human: The Rendlesham Forest UFO Incidents: 42 Years of Denial' Guest bio: Gary Heseltine was born in 1960 in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. Between 1983-89 he served in the Royal Air Force as a police officer. In 1989 he joined the British Transport Police where he had an almost 24 year career before retiring early to follow his passion for UFO research. For 19 years he was a Detective Constable, working on all manner of inquiries from murder, manslaughter to rape. He was also an Advanced police interviewer of suspects and witnesses. In the summer of 1976 Gary Heseltine had an encounter that would fundamentally change his life. He was to experience something that would change his perception of the universe and man's place within it. In simple terms he had a UFO encounter that sowed the seeds in an ever widening ripple effect that would eventually pull him into the field of ufology to the extent that it has become the all pervading theme of his life. In November 2001, Gary woke up with the germ of an idea to create an unofficial database for UK police officers to record and collate their sightings. The database didn’t have a name at that point but the basic idea would be to record 'on and off' duty sightings made by serving and retired officers. PRUFOS (Police Reporting UFO Sightings) database was born. The database (note: some cases are not listed yet) contains details of around 550 cases going back to 1901 involving approximately 1,100 British police officers. In June 2022, he was one of nine researchers to give testimony before the Brazilian Senate on UAPs. Gary is also the Vice President of ICER (International Coalition for Extraterrestrial Research), a not-for-profit international NGO, composed of scientists, academics and leading UFO/UAP researchers. It currently has national representatives in 30 countries. Gary is the Editor of UFO Truth magazine and he has a new book out called 'Non-Human: The Rendlesham Forest UFO Incidents: 42 Years of Denial ' and is currently hosting 'NON-HUMAN The Rendlesham Forest Tour'.
