UAP-PD: Dave Rich and Marianne Robb
UFO-PD (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon-Police)
Marianne Robb and Dave Rich, retired Arizona police officers with a combined 59 years of law enforcement experience take center stage to shed light on a fascinating and lesser-known aspect of their profession: investigating Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), the paranormal and cryptids. With impressive collective experience, they offer unique insights into the challenges that have historically hindered UAP & paranormal investigations within law enforcement circles.
Drawing from their own first-hand encounters and conversations with fellow officers, the duo courageously explores the enigmatic world of unexplained sightings (UAP’s, the paranormal, cryptids) whether seen in the sky or on land. They also reveal a stunning truth – amidst the responsibilities of protecting the public, some of these dedicated law enforcement officers and first responders have witnessed perplexing phenomena and chose to remain silent about their experiences, Why?
Their captivating presentation seeks to answer that question while also treating the audience to some of the most intriguing UFO/UAP, Paranormal and Cryptid cases these brave professionals and their colleagues have encountered.
Get ready to explore the uncharted territories: “WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT MEETS THE UNKNOWN”, uncovering secrets that will leave you astonished.

Major Lori Rehfeldt
Rendlesham Lone Ranger
A Security Policeman’s Perspective from the East Gate
In December 1980, a series of unexplained events occurred near RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge in Suffolk, England. These events would later become known worldwide as the Rendlesham Forest Incident.
Major Lori Rehfeldt was a young U.S. Air Force Security Police airman stationed at Bentwaters during that time. Standing guard at the East Gate and working patrols across the base, she experienced firsthand the unusual atmosphere surrounding the installation and the strange occurrences that many airmen would later struggle to explain.
In this presentation, Lori shares her personal experiences serving at Bentwaters during the Cold War, the environment on base leading up to the Rendlesham events, and the human side of a story often told only through official reports and speculation.
Drawing from her book Rendlesham Lone Ranger, she explores what it was like to be a nineteen-year-old airman placed at the center of one of the most mysterious cas in UFO history.
Her talk also examines the broader environment of Suffolk during that era, including Cold War radar experiments, the pressures faced by Security Police, and why many witnesses remained silent for decades.
This presentation offers a rare perspective from someone who was there, standing watch when history quietly unfolded in the forest beyond the gates.
