The Encounter
Gary Hessel is a former police investigator detective who now studies UFOs. He created a UK Pilots reporting UAP website to collect sightings. In late 2009, the UK Ministry of Defense closed its UFO reporting facility, claiming UFOs were misidentified objects. However, reports of UAPs continued from police and military. Hessel discusses historical UAP encounters, starting with WWII Foo Fighters, and various incidents involving military pilots in the 1950s and beyond. These encounters include sightings of unexplained objects and radar detections. Hessel aims to encourage pilots to report UAPs without fear of ridicule. His work highlights the need for serious investigation into UAP sightings in UK airspace.
