Gary, who probed the 7/7 London bombings for the British Transport Police, is now a leading UFO detective, giving lectures around the world.
The 65-year-old, who took early retirement in 2013 to launch his own UFO magazine after 24 years in the force, says it's only a matter of time before an incident would go viral over the internet sparking alarm.
And he believes the pressure is growing to reveal the truth after several whistleblowers have come forward to give evidence before the US Congress and a new documentary featuring 34 high level military and government officials - including Senator Marco Rubio - has been released.
He said: "With the arrival of President Trump for a second term in

"This was after many others who would go on to become senior officials in the administration had openly and publicly stated their views on the need for transparency on the UAP issue prior to taking office.
"People like Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, Kash Patel, the Director of the FBI and John Ratcliffe, the Director of the CIA.
"These people have openly advocated UAP transparency but in the first four months of the administration they have said nothing on the issue publicly. Why not?"
With wars waging in Ukraine and the Middle East, Gary believes now would be the right time to admit we are being visited by non human intelligence (NHI) to unite the planet.

Gary Heseltine
Ex-cop and UFO expert
"It remains a big question, just how much do our political leaders know about the reality of UAP?
"I fear that they are vastly under informed and under prepared for an NHI Disclosure world."

Gary, of Wakefield, West Yorkshire, who edits UFO Truth Magazine, is hopeful about a new documentary called Age Of Disclosure - featuring dozens of top officials including US Secretary of State Marco Rubio - could bring about "a new dawn in mankind's history."

Trump vows to release new Pentagon UFO videos if he wins after admitting there 'could be life on other planets'
By Sayan Bose
DONALD Trump vowed last year to reveal exclusive UFO footage if he was elected back to the White House.
The Republican presidential candidate said he would push the Pentagon to declassify the alleged UFO sighting videos in a sensational interview.
Trump, who went on to trounce Democratic rival Kamla Harris in the presidential elections in November 2024, is known to have a decade-long fascination with aliens and unexplainable sightings.
He told popular American podcaster Lex Fridman that he would "surely" make secret footage of alleged UFO sightings public.
During the chat, Fridman asked Trump: "Will you help push the Pentagon to release more footage, which a lot of people claim is available?"
To which Trump readily agreed and said: "Oh yeah, sure, I'll do that. I would do that. I'd love to do that. I have to do that."
The Republican leader also claimed he had faced pressure to declassify previous records of alien encounters as he admitted "there could be life on other planets".
He added: "People begged me not to do it but I'll be doing that very early on."
"Clearly the Trump administration is not going anywhere near the NHI topic at the moment, so when will the issue be broached? It's a good question.
"The Federal Secrets Task Force under the stewardship of Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna was given only a six-month mandate to look at the likes of the JFK, RFK assassinations etc, but it was also supposed to look at UFO/UAP/USOs yet, the latter dates to discuss that have been put back until no-one knows.

"If things don't develop soon on that front, then the six months mandate may soon expire. What then?
"Approximately two months ago a major new UAP documentary film, 'The Age of Disclosure' premiered at a mid-west film festival and it received very favourable reviews in the mainstream media yet, the roll-out of the film nationwide/worldwide did not follow and has been put on hold.
"Why? My guess it is all about timing.
"I suspect the volatile situations in Europe and the Middle-East have put paid to addressing the UAP issue for the time being.

"I think it will be interesting to see when the film is released, and indeed how it is rolled out.
"Some people think it may get a national cinema run which would be very interesting if that occurs.
"I believe the documentary may hold the key to a 'Disclosure' moment as it is meant to
usher
in a new dawn in mankind's history.
"Senator Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State for the United States is featured in the film and he is seen as third only to the President and the Vice President in terms of his place in the administration.

"His appearance in the film is bound to be a major talking point for the media.

"Whilst I have not seen the film the excellent trailer states that 34 key people appear in it, including several current politicians.
"In the film trailer, Jay Stratton, the former head of the UAP Task Force states openly that he has seen NHI craft and Non-Human bodies. That in itself is highly noteworthy. He's never said anything like that publicly before.
"In recent months two eminent scientists involved in UAP research for decades have finally revealed things in public for the very first time.
"Hal Puthoff, arguably the most important scientist ever to work on the UAP issue, said recently on the Joe Rogan podcast, that the U.S. has 10 NHI craft in its possession.

"And only in just the last few weeks, Eric Davis, a scientist who has worked with Puthoff for many years said at a UAP Disclosure Fund event in Congress, that there are four different types of NHI, the Greys, Reptilians, Mantids and Nordics!
"What has long been suspected has now been confirmed by one of the world's leading scientists on the UAP issue. His public statement is something of a wow moment for me."
'PHOENIX LIGHTS'
Back in March 1997, thousands of people, including Hollywood actor Kurt Russell and a former US governor, witnessed the so-called Phoenix Lights.
Some people managed to film the lights using camcorders as camera phones were not available.

But smartphones are everywhere now and Gary believes another major event could not be easily hushed up or dismissed by the powers that be like they did before.
He said: "I think we are truly at a crossroads on the Disclosure issue.
"There is a real chance this year that things will come together and the film 'Age of Disclosure' will be used to support an announcement by President Trump of the reality of NHI.
"However, if that does not happen this year then the moment we have all hoped for so long may have been lost for who knows how long and the prospect of 'Catastrophic Disclosure', a term coined by Colonel Karl Nell, may be the only way that the NHI story finally breaks into the mainstream world.

What were the Phoenix Lights?
The Phoenix Lights were a series of widely sighted unidentified flying objects (UFOs) observed over Arizona and Nevada on March 13, 1997.
Thousands of people reported seeing a V-shaped formation of lights moving silently across the sky, and stationary lights in the Phoenix area.
While some believe it was a UFO sighting, the official explanation is that they were flares dropped during military exercises.
The lights were observed between 7.30 pm and 10.30pm MST, spanning a distance of about 300 miles, from the Nevada border through Phoenix to Tucson.
The Air Force stated the lights were flares dropped during military exercises at the Barry M. Goldwater Range near Phoenix.
Despite the official explanation, many people believe the lights were a genuine UFO sighting, and the incident has become a significant event in UFO lore.
The Phoenix Lights remain a subject of debate and fascination, with many still questioning the official explanation.
"Yet 'Catastrophic Disclosure' should be a last resort measure because of the uncertainty such an event may cause.
"For decades the forces that have controlled the UAP narrative have risked such an event but were half prepared to combat such a scenario, the risk for panic and alarm is now much higher because of the internet, new technology and the use of social media.
"Think about it, everyone carries a smartphone with high quality video cameras and applications that offer immediate 'live streaming'.
"I've been saying it for several years that if the 1997 Phoenix Lights event took place now that it would likely cause a 'Catastrophic Disclosure' moment.
Advertisement
"Back then the authorities were able to cast doubt on grainy poor quality videos of lights in the
sky
above the city and they just about managed to 'control' of the media and officials but it was a close shave.
"But here is the kicker, I believe that if that same event happened today and was seen by over 50,000 people, and was captured in 4k, 8k video and 'live streamed' within minutes of it occurring the authorities would not have time to contain it.
"Such an event would likely go viral across the world on social media in minutes …. and the cat would be out of the bag.
"A mile wide craft of unknown origin captured in stark reality over the city of Phoenix and with it 'Catastrophic Disclosure' on an unprepared world.
Advertisement
"So this is a choice for our political leaders. I would urge President Trump to inform the world about the reality of NHI soon or risk causing major public panic with a 'Catastrophic Disclosure' event.

Trump's deal with Europe sucks for Ireland and what the EU is importing
Europe is poised to embrace a surge of American vehicles and energy following Brussels securing an eleventh-hour trade agreement with Donald Trump, barely averting a transatlantic trade war. The pact, revealed on Sunday, means the European Union will now encounter a uniform 15 per cent levy on exports to the United States—cutting in half the 30 per cent rate previously threatened by the former president. In return, Mr Trump stated the EU had consented to eliminate tariffs completely on US goods entering the bloc. Nevertheless, in stark contrast to the EU's negotiations with the UK over Brexit, where complex matters such as implementing trade obstacles across the Irish Sea arose, this time Ireland's interests appear to have been relegated to the lower end of the bloc's priorities. How significant is Trump's agreement with Europe? Under the arrangement, the EU will purchase $750bn (£558bn) of energy from the United States and pledge an additional $600bn in investments into the world's largest economy. "We are agreeing that the tariff straight across for automobiles and everything else will be a tariff of 15pc," said Mr Trump, who has consistently advocated for Europe to purchase more American oil and gas. "We have the opening up of all the European countries, which were essentially closed. You were not exactly taking our autos, you weren't exactly taking our agriculture. Now it is open. "It is open for our companies to go in and do a good job." Europe is set to welcome a wave of American cars and energy after Brussels clinched a deal (Image: Getty) Mr Trump stated the agreement would provide Europeans with enhanced access to US pickup trucks and SUVs, with commerce between the two economies now poised to grow. "They [Europe] are going to make a lot of money with this," he said. "I think everybody is. And it is going to bring a lot of unity and friendship." Financial markets have been rattled in recent months by Mr Trump's fluctuating trade policies, with the tariff standoff generating uncertainty for global investors and governments. What does Trump hope to achieve with his Europe trade deal? Ms von der Leyen said the objective of the agreement was to "rebalance" trade flows between the two sides. "The starting point was an imbalance, a surplus on our side and a deficit on the US side, and we wanted to rebalance that," she said. "We wanted to do it in a way that trade goes on between the two of us, across the Atlantic. "The two biggest economies should have good trade flowing: rebalance, but enable trade on both sides, which means good jobs on both sides of the Atlantic, which means prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic. That was important to us." The agreement excludes steel and aluminium, which will still face higher tariffs of 50 per cent when exported to the US. British exports of the same materials face a reduced tariff of 25 per cent. Bad for Ireland: drugs firms left out of deal This exclusion could prove a major blow to Ireland, which depends heavily on its pharmaceutical exports. "We have to have them made in the US," Mr Trump declared. "We want them made in the US. Pharmaceuticals are very special. "We can't be in a position where we are relying on other countries. Europe is going to make pharmaceuticals, drugs and everything else for us too, a lot, but we are going to make our own." The Irish government has voiced concerns that looming US tariffs could deal a major blow to the country's pharmaceutical sector, which employs around 45,000 people. Ministers are particularly worried about the impact on multinational drug companies based in Ireland, following signals from Washington that the pharmaceutical industry may be the next target in a broader trade clampdown. While the EU's new trade agreement with Donald Trump excluded pharmaceuticals from immediate tariff hikes, the US has made clear that it still plans to address the sector in separate talks. Claus Vistesen, from Pantheon Macroeconomics, stated that the agreed 15 per cent tariff was less severe than many feared, and unlikely to alarm financial markets-but he warned it would still dent both the EU and US economies. "Trump is finding a middle ground," Mr Vistesen commented. "He is still shooting himself in the foot. US consumers will pay higher prices, and growth in trading partners will be lower than it would have otherwise been."

Hilarious moment Donald Trump's golf caddie appears to subtly drop ball in prime spot before he arrives to take shot
THIS is the hilarious moment Donald Trump's golf caddy appears to drop his ball into a prime spot before he takes his shot. A video clip has emerged which shows two golf caddies alongside the US President as he drives a golf cart around Turnberry's Ailsa course, in Scotland. 6 Donald Trump is on a five-day visit to Scotland, expected to end on Tuesday Credit: Getty 6 Footage appeared to show a caddy drop the President's ball in a prime spot Credit: X / RoguePOTUSStaff 6 The US leader was enjoying a round of golf on Turnberry's Ailsa course Credit: X / RoguePOTUSStaff He donned a white USA baseball cap and was joined by Trump, 79, is seen being escorted down to the course, with a convoy of 20 other carts following close behind. The caddies go ahead of the US leaser and one appears to try and secretly place a golf ball on the ground. The President then gets out and claims to have made the shot himself. Read More Trump waves for cameras on the third green at the southeast end of the course before the party moves on. One person who watched the footage circulating on X wrote: "Caddy did that so smoothly. Can only imagine how many times he's done it." "I want to know how he finds caddies to do that for him," added another. This comes as the US President arrived aboard Air Force One at around 8.30pm on Friday for his five-day private visit to Bonnie Scotland. Most read in The Sun After waving to the crowds, he was welcomed by Scottish Secretary Ian Murray before being whisked to his luxury Turnberry resort 20 miles down the Ayrshire coast. Villagers waved as the convoy passed through nearby Kirkoswald and later arrived at the resort at around 9.30pm. And he wasted no time in taking to the green after being seen teeing off at the luxury resort. Several protests were planned, with opponents of Mr Trump gathering in both Edinburgh and Aberdeen earlier this week. The Stop Trump coalition has planned what it has described as being a "festival of resistance". Activists also shut down the Forth Road Bridge in South Queensferry as part of a huge protest ahead of Trump's visit. 6 Trump donned a white USA baseball cap Credit: Getty 6 The footage has circulated social media platform X Credit: Getty 6 The President was playing with his son Eric Credit: Getty Climate campaigners from Greenpeace confirmed that 10 activists abseiled from the massive 156m bridge to block an INEOS tanker. A large number of police and military personnel were seen searching the grounds at the golf resort to ensure Mr Trump's safety before he teed off. A high-profile security operation was in full swing with land, sea and air coverage from police and security services while a number of guests were checked over. Secret service agents with sniffer dogs checked bushes as snipers were positioned on a platform on the edge of the course and the roof of the hotel. Uniformed and plain clothes cops guarded all access points to the course, including roads, footpaths and the beach. Amid the search, a few golfers were also spotted at the course, enjoying an early-morning game. A number of onlookers had gathered at the entrance to Turnberry hoping to catch a glimpse of the game. But they were not let anywhere near. Police also had road closures in place, with limited access for locals and members of the media. Upon his arrival, Mr Trump told reporters: "There's no place like Turnberry. It's the best course in the world." As well as visiting Trump Turnberry, Mr Trump will later head to Aberdeenshire and visit his golf resort in Balmedie. During his stay, he will officially open his second course at Menie, named in honour of his late mother, Mary Anne MacLeod. His visit is expected to last until Tuesday, July 29. The President is also scheduled to meet Scottish First Minister John Swinney and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer during his trip. After landing in Scotland, Mr Trump said the "invasion" of migrants is "killing" Europe and told the leaders to "get their act together". But when asked about illegal immigration, Mr Trump said a "horrible invasion" was taking place in Europe which needs to stop. He said: "On immigration, you better get your act together. 'You're not going to have Europe anymore, you've got to get your act together. 'As you know, last month we had nobody entering our country – nobody, [we] shut it down.' He added: 'You've got to stop this horrible invasion that's happening to Europe.' Mr Trump, who made a crackdown on illegal immigration a major policy in his second term at the White House, boasted: "Last month we had nobody entering our country." A massive £5million security operation has been rolled out to ensure his safety, with around 6,000 police officers drafted in from across the UK to support the efforts. We previously told how police and security services assessed fears that Trump could be assassinated during his visit to Scotland after he survived an attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania last year. David Threadgold, General Secretary of the Scottish Police Federation, said "a huge amount of threat assessment and intelligence gathering' took place ahead of the visit.
