This is an unofficial police site run by a serving police detective with over 17 years experience.
My views are personal to me and do not represent that of my force.
My name is GARY HESELTINE and I am a serving Detective Constable with the British Transport Police based in Leeds.
I launched the PRUFOS POLICE DATABASE in January 2002. It caters for serving and retired police officers to record their respective UFO sightings.
My interest in UFOs began in 1975 as a 15 year old when I had a sighting of my own.
Police sightings are listed in two categories - On and Off duty sightings.
Since its lauched I have 213 cases dating back to 1901 involving 500 British police officers.
...
I urge any officer out there, whether serving or retired to contact me about their respective UFO experiences. Anyone wishing to have their identity withheld can do safe in the knowledge that I will never release their details unless they specifically allow me to.
This site is run by a serving police officer for police officers past and present.
Some examples:
149. June 1991. 0500 hours. Gwent, South Wales.
Two uniformed officers a police sergeant and a female police constable were driving in the Blackwood area of Gwent in a rural location when they saw two orange UFOs circling above a farmer’s field. They stopped the vehicle and got out to watch. After about 10 minutes the objects disappeared in different directions. As the sun came up they saw a newly made crop circle under where the objects had been seen darting about the sky. Fearful of ridicule neither officer reported the incident. They made a pact not to report the incident.
UFO CLASSIFICATION – CE2 (CLOSE ENCOUNTER 2ND KIND)

1995
159. 1850 hours. 19/01/95. Location – Birmingham. Following a number of reports by the public of a UFO in the skies above the city, two uniformed officers were dispatched to Russell Road in the Moseley area to investigate. However as they approached the scene they observed the UFO on Dogpool Lane, Stirchley. There they saw a UFO hovering above some nearby trees. They described the object as being the size of a doubledecker bus. In the middle of the object there was a horizontal bar of orange light, whilst on the outside there appeared to be a blue field of energy. After a few seconds the object appeared to shrink in size and vanish from view. Further reports from members of the public followed the police sighting. Unconfirmed reports allege that several other police officers also observed the object from the vicinity of the West Midlands Police training school at Tally Ho.

1996
166. Location - Scotland. Following a 999 call two on duty uniformed officers observed a huge gold coloured egg shaped UFO hovering over fields in Scotland at close proximity of 200 metres. They viewed the object through binoculars and one of the officers made a pocket book entry regarding the sighting. This forms part of a series of three sightings by the principal officer who is very reluctant to release further details.

167. June 1996. Late evening. Location: M62, Brown Cow Public House, West Yorkshire. Two uniformed officers were alerted to a triangular shaped UFO seen in the sky above the Brown Cow Public House by a crowd of people who had stopped their cars to have a look at the object. A member of the public later rang the Huddersfield Examiner newspaper to see if they were going to put out an appeal for witnesses. The caller later received word from he paper that an alleged ‘D’ notice from the MoD had been served on the paper not to print the appeal.

168. 05/10/96. 0314-1109 hours. Location: East Coast. This was a major sighting that took place off the East Coast where a red and green rotating light was seen by police officers at Skegness and Boston. In addition the object was seen by several coastguard officers and the crew of an oil tanker. Enquiries were made with RAF Kinloss, RAF Neatishead and RAF Waddington confirming that the object was captured on radar. A fascinating and revealing transcript of radio transmissions was obtained by researchers Nick Redfern and Irene Bott who also ske with members of the oil tanker crew. The crew ruled out any conventional explanation. It is reported that the airspace in the effected area of the sighting was closed for several hours after the sighting. The MoD suggested that everyone had mistaken the light for Boston Stump!
