UFOs: Database Of Police Sightings Of Records 310 Incidents In
Six Years

A database set up to record UFO sightings by police officers has
recorded 310 incidents in the past six years.
By Ben Leach

Gary Heseltine, a British Transport Police officer, has produced
an annual report detailing UFO sightings by officers across the
country since 2003.

His latest report, published on his PRUFOS (Police Reporting UFO
Sightings) database this week, highlights 50 new cases involving
106 officers - taking the total of individual sightings recorded
to 310.

The 48-year-old said: "Police officers are trained to give
dispassionate, detailed descriptions of things they see and are
highly credible witnesses as a result."

Mr Heseltine said he set-up the database in the mid-Nineties
after he found a UFO magazine full of highly credible accounts
of sightings by military pilots backed up by radar evidence.

He said one of the most startling reports on it is that of PC
Alan Godfrey, who spotted a diamond-shaped UFO levitating above
a road in Todmorden, West Yorks, in 1980.

He tried to call for help on his police radio but it had stopped
working. He then tried to get out of his car but was blinded by
a white light. Pc Godfrey's next conscious memory is being back
in his car, further down the road, with the UFO having vanished.

Under hypnosis he claimed he was taken up into the spacecraft
and examined by small creatures.

Since starting the database Mr Heseltine, a detective constable
from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, who has two grown-up children,
claims to have made two UFO sightings.
