Former police officer, Gary Heseltine, puts forward a compelling theory suggesting that the enigmatic UFO incident in Rendlesham Forest might have unfolded over a period of six days. This forest is at the heart of one of the most puzzling UFO sightings in history.
Known as 'Britain's Roswell,' the enigma of Rendlesham Forest has fascinated UFO enthusiasts for the past 42 years. During three consecutive nights over the Christmas period, military personnel were certain that they had witnessed peculiar flashing lights in close proximity to a Royal Air Force base in Suffolk. Various speculations have surfaced over the years, ranging from elaborate pranks to sightings of a distant lighthouse and even theories of time travel.
However, former detective Gary Heseltine has recently presented new evidence that challenges our understanding of the incident. Controversially, he asserts that the mind-boggling event in 1980 might have unfolded over a period of five or six nights, as he has meticulously traced a total of 17 distinct sightings during that time.
"In simple terms, the Rendlesham case is very distinct from most other UFO cases because it's not just a single event; rather, it comprises a series of events that occurred over consecutive nights," Heseltine stated in an interview with MailOnline.
"For a long time, it was believed that there were only two events on two nights. Then, over time, more details emerged, and we were fairly certain that it was three events over three nights.
"As a former detective, when I reinvestigated this, I approached it chronologically to the best of my ability, breaking down the incidents and involving different individuals.
"And, in the conclusion of my book, there were 17 distinct timed events involving numerous personnel over what now appears to be a five to six day period.
"New information came to me that dates the first incident to be on December 23 - something that nobody had ever heard of before.
Back in 1980, military personnel claimed to have seen lights hovering in the sky and descending into the woodland on three separate nights just before New Year.
While they were convinced these objects were alien spacecraft, it was later dismissed as a scaremongering prank played on the US Air Force by Britain's Special Air Service (SAS).
At the time, the SAS was said to have routinely tested the US security by probing the nearby perimeters of RAF Woodbridge, which was believed to store nuclear warheads during the Cold War.
On one occasion, the British personnel were allegedly subjected to a brutal interrogation and beaten up by US security before being released 18 hours later after authorities intervened.
However, Heseltine claims that there is more to this incident than what has been made public, suggesting that it all began with airman Steve Wagner on December 23.
Just before Christmas Eve, it is said that Wagner investigated a strange incident near the East Gate of RAF Woodbridge, as something had reportedly 'come down' among the trees.
Together with two others, Wagner reportedly went to investigate, and in Heseltine's book 'Non Human,' it is claimed that they found something quite unexpected."
"The airman Steve Wagner described what they came across as depressions in an equilateral triangle in a small clearing near the trees," Heseltine shared with MailOnline.
"He mentioned something significant because all the depressions were of the same size and shape - approximately 5ft wide.
"So, if the date of December 23 is accurate - and he said, 'I'm pretty certain it was before Christmas' - it's much larger than what happened on the night of Christmas into Boxing Day - so it's incredibly significant."
Having passed 42 years since the incident, Heseltine has largely relied on witness accounts to support these claims.
Besides Wagner, the former detective has also investigated other key witnesses, including Jim Penniston, Ed Cabansag, Larry Warren, and Sergeant Adrian Bustinza.
According to his findings, three separate unexplained events occurred on December 27, six on December 28, and one on December 29.
One of his most notable claims involves US Lieutenant Bonnie Tamplin, who allegedly encountered an 'unknown object' near the site while driving.
Reportedly, this caused her to crash into a ditch, losing complete control of her car.
Heseltine even claims that she was relieved from her duties after the incident and returned to the US in distress.
These revelations come at a time when the US Senate is expected to consider a bipartisan measure concerning UFO sightings.
The 64-page UFO Disclosure Bill aims to make all information regarding 'unidentified anomalous phenomena' (UAPs) accessible to the public.
Heseltine believes that such legislation will play a crucial role in enhancing the credibility of extraterrestrial sightings, which are often dismissed as fake or not taken seriously.
He believes that there is a possibility that the UK might follow a similar path in enacting its own legislation.
"In my lifetime, I have never witnessed this level of anticipation for something that appears to be genuinely unfolding," he stated.
"There is an escalating sense of excitement that we may receive official confirmation that we are indeed encountering non-human intelligence."
