| The Light Gate Episode #022: Lifelong Experiencer Steve Boucher | 20 Feb 2026 | 01:53:36 | |
Tonight, The Light Gate welcomes lifelong UFO experiencer and author, Steve Boucher. Steve Boucher is an AutoCAD Draftsman who lives in St. Catharines, Ontario. He is also a musician, singer, and fine artist. Steve has had experiences with non-terrestrial beings since he was a baby. The bulk of his experiences were buried in his subconscious mind for many years until he began to have brief flashes of conscious memory after reading Budd Hopkins’ book ‘Missing Time.’ Steve then wrote to Budd Hopkins and informed him of the memories he was having. Budd then contacted Steve and invited him to come to New York and stay at his art studio in Manhattan for a week. Steve accepted the invitation and during that week in 1984, he underwent 3 hypnosis sessions which revealed that he had experienced repeated visitations from short grey-skinned beings approximately 4 feet tall with large eyes and large heads. After Steve returned to Canada, he went to a UFO Symposium in Toronto and met up with some people from a group known as CUFORN (The Canadian UFO Research Network). CUFORN has since disbanded, but they took over the case and did a thorough investigation of Steve’s UFO experiences. They scheduled several more hypnosis sessions for him, at which they were present and published the results of the investigation in their CUFORN Journal. The case was also reported in the MUFON Journal and the Flying Saucer Review. To protect his identity at the time, CUFORN gave him a pseudonym (Jack T.) However, he has decided that now is the time to reveal his identity to the public because he feels that the story needs to be told. Steve has remembered many more details and more experiences have surfaced since the initial investigation took place. Steve holds 2 Canadian patents on a container for making wine at home and a rotary vane engine. And, like many experiencers, he has an amazing connection to nature and animals. Steve Boucher’s book, Beyond the Extraterrestrial Firewall (with a forward by Grant Cameron) is one of few books written by an actual experiencer. Sadly, Steve Boucher passed away in January 2025. This was one of the last interviews he did. Thank you for tuning into The Light Gate.

| The Light Gate Episode #018: Yvonne Smith (hypnotherapist/author) | 16 Feb 2026 | 01:54:14 | |
Tonight, “The Light Gate” welcomes researcher, presenter, hypnotherapist and author, Yvonne Smith, C.Ht. Yvonne is one of the leading researchers into cases involving onboard encounters and missing time. She has also had some of her own experiences. In this gripping episode, she talks about her own experiences and how she came to work in the field of onboard UFO encounters. In 1992, Yvonne founded Close Encounter Resource Organization (CERO), a post-traumatic stress support group for individuals and families having trauma experiences. CERO has been active for 31 years, and has been recognized nationally and internationally by TV and radio. Yvonne became interested in victims of post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) in the late 1980s. Then, in 1990, after two years of studies and 1000 hours of internship at California Hypnosis Motivation Institute, the only accredited college of hypnotherapy in the United States, she received her hypnotherapy certification. Specializing in post-traumatic stress disorder cases, she uses her hypnotherapy skills to assist such victims to work through their anxiety, with many of her subjects referred to her by physicians and psychiatrists who believe her expertise can benefit their patients. Many such patients have been doctors, military personnel, domestic and foreign pilots, university professors, and many other backgrounds. While Yvonne has assisted many stress victims with military or traumatic early life situations, she points out that “PTSD” can also involve difficulties due to common situations such as traffic accidents and individuals who have experienced Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind. Some who have consulted Yvonne include a foreign air force pilot who flew to Los Angeles for sessions with Yvonne due to an experience which caused him unrelenting nightmares for many years, as well as a NATO officer with similar longtime anxiety due to previous military related exposure. In fact, it is not unusual for “military family” members to suffer anxiety due to concerns for their active service member. Yvonne has co-lectured on tour with Dr. John Mack, head of Harvard University’s psychiatry department, presenting lectures in the United States at M.I.T. and other universities. Yvonne has also lectured for several years at international conferences from South America to Europe, and enjoyed a conference with Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, Major Robert Dean, and Nick Pope, former member of British Defense Department. Yvonne has been on dozens of television programs in the United States and across the world. and is a frequent consultant to producers, directors and actors for film and television programs. She has been a guest on all the major UFO radio shows and podcasts all over the world. She is the author of the well-received books, "Chosen, From the Alien Hybrid Program to the Fate of the Planet," now in its 3rd edition, and “Coronado: The President, the Secret Service and Alien Abductions," a true account about a mass abduction which occurred in 1994. In these books, Yvonne has taken the time to reveal explicit, dramatic and unedited transcripts of clients’ reliving, during hypnotic regression, their recollections of alien encounters and abductions. Yvonne is currently working on the manuscript for the "CERO Anniversary book," along with members of the support group, (to be published in Spring of 2024.) Filming is underway for the CERO documentary which will depict the "personal side" of the abduction experience, also due to be released in 2024. On January 1, 2023, Yvonne reached an important milestone of celebrating 32 years of working with UFO abduction cases. Thank you for tuning into The Light Gate.

She came across her vocation unexpectedly. When she was nine years old, she had her first profound out of body experience wherein she saw the heavens open and a beautiful marble staircase surrounded by angels which led to the throne of God. In this out of body experience, she was told many things, among them that He would return to her later in her life and give her a mission to fulfill in relation to out of body travel. When she was 22 years old, she had her first out-of-body experience in adulthood which began a process of journaling which would unleash thousands of out of body travel and mystical experiences over the next decades. As result of these words, the vision for The Out-of-Body Travel Foundation was born. Says Marilynn, ‘Our mission came from the words of Mother Teresa, “The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for a little love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God.”’ Thank you for tuning into The Light Gate.

| The Light Gate Episode #016: UFO contactee, researcher, author Terry Tibando | 14 Feb 2026 | 01:56:36 | |
The Light Gate welcomes researcher, presenter, author and experiencer, Terence “Terry” Tibando. He has a lot of information to share, not only about UFOs, but his own experiences. Terry’s background and understanding of the UFO phenomenon expands over 70 years of personal UFO sightings and ET contact which began when he was five years old, followed by a lifetime of many other-worldly sightings and encounters. Thus, began a journey into the mysterious universe of Unidentified Flying Objects, Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the paranormal. As an experiencer, researcher, and investigator in Ufology he is more than qualified to talk and write with some expertise on this topic. Like many contactees, Terry learned that other members of his family had their own UFO sightings. Even his father who served in the Royal Canadian Air Force as a Nuclear Civil Defense instructor at the high-security underground facility of the NORAD SAGE site in North Bay, Ontario, had his own amazing UFO sighting. In 1951 he saw a saucer shaped craft emerge from an air force hangar in Moulton AFB that flew into the air, hover briefly and then descended back into the hangar. In the late sixties, Terry began attending UFO lectures while in high school, meeting such people as Dr. Edward Edwards, a linguist from the University of Victoria and Daniel Fry from New Mexico, USA, a well-known contactee and UFO author. Terry attended the University of Victoria majoring in astronomy, physics, math and other sciences, yet, everything he was studying was always leading him in his search for answers that would bring him closer to understanding the nature and reality of extraterrestrial life in the universe. During those university years other alien craft were sighted near his family's home in Victoria leading Terry to theorize that a possible ET undersea base exists off the coast of Vancouver Island which would account for the numerous UFO sightings seen over the Island. He was a former member of APRO (Aerial Phenomenon Research Organization) and its Canadian sister organization CAPRO during the sixties. His investigative research culminated back in the summer of 1996 when he met with Dr. Steven M. Greer during a one week "Ambassadors to the Universe" training seminar. They soon discovered that they shared similar UFO/ETI experiences during their early life as well as being "spiritual brothers" as fellow members of the Baha'i Faith. Terry was a standing-in speaker for Dorothy Izzat of Vancouver at the Bellingham UFO Group (BUFOG) UFO seminar in 1996, and as a panel speaker along with Peter Davenport from NUFORC and Sharon Filip, alien abduction researcher. He has talked on the Grimerica blog talk radio and been interviewed on the Discovery Channel during their "Alien Week" series in 1997 which had two ET spacecraft show up during the TV interview. He has been interviewed on BCTV News, and appeared briefly in Dr. Greer's successful documentary movie "Sirius" and was a major financial contributor to the current documentary "Unacknowledged!" He was instrumental in coordinating, hosting, and emceeing the first Disclosure Project event on UFOs and ETS in Canada as a part of Dr. Greer's Disclosure Witness Tour held at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver on September 9, 2001, which included guest speakers Dr. Steven Greer, Dr. Carol Rosin and Dr, Alfred Webre. For the last 30 years, Terry has lead teams of people on field expeditions as the CSETI Vancouver Coordinator successfully establishing contact and communications with extraterrestrial intelligences visiting the Earth. He is the author of the massive six-volume books titled, “A Citizens Disclosure on UFOs and ETI.” Each volume, 1 through 6 covers different aspects of the UFO phenomenon. He has appeared on many of the major UFO podcasts such as Fade to Black with Jimmy Church, Everything Imaginable with Gary Cocciello, the UnX podcast with Margie Kay, UFO Paranormal with Jim Harold and many others, including tonight on The Light Gate! Thank you for tuning into The Light Gate.

He then moved into radio and TV, hosting a Holistic Health Care call-in radio show in Tucson, AZ and as host and producer of the “The Hidden Truth,” which featured UFOs, the paranormal, conspiracies and more.

About Dev's book: What makes people who are more than just interested in UFOs become UFO investigators? Is it that we want to learn the truth about an intriguing enigma? Could it be a burning desire to know what UFOs are and who is flying them? Or is it that our own sightings and strange events have us looking for answers through the cases we investigate? For me, it is all of the above. UFOs have always consumed my life, and I have always wondered why? After many years, I could no longer deny several events that had taken place during my life that pointed to a deeper involvement.

| The Light Gate Episode #109: Yossi Ronen (author/experiencer) | 28 May 2026 | 01:54:14 | |
Tonight, The Light Gate welcomes UFO experiencer/author Yossi Ronen. Currently, Yossi is living in Israel. He had a face-to-face encounter and communication with several aliens who appeared in his room when he lived about a year in 1981 in Los Angeles. The experience led his life on a new path. His interests have changed to independent search and learning in areas related to the encounter experience phenomena. For two years he has written articles in Alternative magazine in Israel, articles directly or indirectly related to UFO and contact or meeting the visitors, such as alternative medicine, currents in mysticism, parapsychology, oneness/God, and the Ancient secret Hebrew language. His book “ONE,” is a summary of about 40 years of study and research in the world of spirit, cognition, culture, and the human spirit in the face of the contact and to the information he received in the face-to-face contact with the visitors.

Tonight, The Light Gate is honored to welcome researcher, author, and astral traveler Gerard Pratt. Such an honor, as Gerard is very good at astral traveling. Gerard is passionate about exploring astral projection and out-of-body experiences. He believes that transcending the astral plane connects him with intelligent ethereal entities and spirits, providing insights into the mysteries beyond the veil. His fascination with the paranormal began in childhood, marked by vivid apocalyptic visions and the unforgettable memory of witnessing a silver, metallic, disc-shaped UFO soaring over his Liverpool home. Since 2019, Gerard has been in regular contact with a humanoid entity named Aryabhata and a group of hooded beings. His experiences during astral projections have allowed him to encounter various humanoid forms, including Greys, Nordics, Energy beings, and a blue Arcturian entity. He is often accompanied by a guide named Stewart, knowledgeable in biblical lore, and a female entity he affectionately calls the Teacher. Through his explorations, Gerard has met numerous spirits eager to assist him, being guided to an inner Earth base and accessing spirit realms to reconnect with deceased loved ones. One of his most remarkable experiences was the opportunity to pilot a disc-shaped craft under Aryabhata’s guidance. Gerard actively enhances his clairvoyance at a local psychic development circle, engages in group meditation, and passionately pursues the development of his PSI abilities. Throughout this journey, he has had the privilege of attending physical mediumship séances, where he has witnessed extraordinary phenomena such as the levitation of objects, apportation, and the remarkable materialisation of spirits into solid matter. Determined to uncover the truth behind unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), Gerard is deeply invested in Human-Initiated Contact Experiences (HICE) or CE-5. He is actively involved as a group expert at his local CE-5 group and embraces opportunities to connect with like-minded individuals at spiritual events and conferences.

She felt lonely in a city and family where no one talked about non-human intelligence. Poly soon began to have recurrent experiences during her sleep, where she was taken inside a craft to be part of what appears to be a hybridization program. After graduating from school, Poly received a B.A. in Journalism and Social Communication. At the age of 21, she left Colombia and went to live in Israel in 1999. Her sightings started about three years ago, together with her son. Poly shares E.T. content in many social media platforms around the world, and in the last year she became a member of the UFO MAN Podcast Team in YouTube. You can find her content on Facebook groups such as “Bob Lazar and Beyond,” “UFO/UAP Disclosure Australia,” “NHI Realities, Ascension and Beyond,” “UFO Man Nation,” and more.

| The Light Gate Episode #091: Heidi Hansen (experiencer/author) | 04 May 2026 | 01:46:43 | |
Tonight, The Light Gate welcomes back experiencer and author, Heidi Elisabeth Hansen. Heidi is a spiritual writer and her first ever contact with God happened at the tender age of 6 months. Throughout her life, she has had countless moving miraculous events and profound spiritual insights. The experiences she writes about in her books, shown through the powerful unconscious mind deeply rooted in her connection with God, have taught her many things. One of those lessons was asking God correctly and in detail when something was on her mind. You will experience all this while reading her books. She has had so, so, so many amazing experiences of all kinds. Says Heidi, “My humble hope is that my books will take you on a journey that will hopefully positively influence your life. By listening to God, I have not only saved my life but also the life of my son. Furthermore, I found a lost boy and avoided an assault, just to mention a few events. My book tells a story of a life filled with supernatural events and several people have asked me to share these experiences with the world. These experiences are real-life stories; stories that sometimes can be a little intimidating and very scary to deal with. It is an area that has given me an insight into not being alone in this world and not being afraid of sharing the stories with you all anymore. I hope to bring you enlightenment on your path in life so that you too will become a beacon of light that others will be inspired by.” Heidi is a Dame/Lady at The Most Honourable Order of Christian Knights of the Rose. She currently resides in Vordingborg, Denmark. Here’s a review of one of her amazing book: Tove Johansen wrote on the German Amazon these words: “This new book I bought, really got me sitting on the edge of my chair while reading it. Yet again like the 2 other books in this category she wrote, is soo good, fantastic, chilling and very well written like you where there yourself. Real-life experiences like these are rare so thank you Author Heidi Elisabeth Hansen for raising awareness of these subjects.” Thank you for tuning into The Light Gate.
