  • The Light Gate Episode #022: Lifelong Experiencer Steve Boucher
    Feb 20 2026
    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.

  • The Light Gate Episode #018: Yvonne Smith (hypnotherapist/author)
    Feb 16 2026
    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.

In this episode she shares many of her amazing adventures out of body to the Other Side. You will be amazed!

    Marilynn founded The Out-of-Body Travel Foundation in 2003 (Mission: Reduce Spiritual Hunger Worldwide). Marilynn has experienced, researched, written, and taught about Out of Body Travel and Mysticism since 1987 and has spoken on dozens of radio and television programs to discuss her thousands of out of body experiences.

She has also studied Individual Schools of Theology, to include Franciscan, Carmelite, Ignatian, Dominican, and Benedictine.

    She received certifications in various psychological and therapeutic modalities including NLP, REBT, CBT, ACT, DBT, MBCT, EFT, TFT, SFBT and NBA Therapies. Marilynn Hughes has authored 109 books, 40 magazines and 18 CD's on Out of Body Travel and Comparative Religious Mysticism including her seminal classic The Mysteries of the Redemption: A Treatise on Out-of-Body Travel and Mysticism, which is in development to create a feature film/tv series based on her experiences. She was featured in the documentary film, The Road to Armageddon: A Spiritual Documentary, and in Documentary Film Productions: The Grand Phases of the Soul, The Stairway from Earth to Heaven, How to Have an Out-of-Body Experience, The Tao of Mysticism, The Initiations into the Mysteries, The Rites of Passage, The Prayer of the Twelfth Hour and At the Feet of the Masters. She is the author of an English Language Encyclopedia of Ancient Sacred Texts, The Voice of the Prophets: Wisdom of the Ages (In Twelve Volumes).

    Her out of body travel work has been featured in The Encyclopedia of the Unseen World, by Constance Victoria Briggs and in Extra-Planetary Experiences: Alien Human Contact and the Expansion of Consciousness, (along with Dr. Edgar Mitchell and Ingo Swann) by Dr. Thomas Streicher. KC Armstrong, (Former Producer of the Howard Stern Show), in his book named Marilynn as one of thirteen Simply Amazing Women.

    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.”’

  • The Light Gate Episode #016: UFO contactee, researcher, author Terry Tibando
    Feb 14 2026
    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!

    Aage Nost was Born on a farm in Norway, Aage managed the family farm and after attending and graduating from Agricultural College, he managed the family farm for many years. But even as a teenager, he pursued interests in the paranormal and learned hypnosis from a magician in Europe. As a young man, he spent one year in mandatory military service, driving a battle tank in Norway. Leaving the military, he pursued all forms of knowledge.

    By age 25 he learned several languages, studied numerous scientific disciplines as well as metaphysics and different schools of spirituality. He then left Norway and went to the USA where he graduated from Flight School at Emery School of Aviation in Greeley, Colorado, obtaining his pilot license with full certification, including a commercial pilot with instrument rating, a flight instructor.

    After a long career in aviation, he began to pursue his interests in the paranormal, hypnosis and mind development. He has taught classes in speed reading, creative visualizations for healing and manifestation, creative goal setting and much more. He created the “Freedom Civil Rights Investigation Service,” helping many people with legal problems. He published and wrote for “The Constitutional Liberator,” a monthly newsletter covering controversial issues about effective medical cures that had been “banned” and other topics that the mainstream media refused to touch.

    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. Numerous other shows followed, including “Access News,” “The Universal Consciousness Show,” and currently, with his partner, Nori Love, “Broadcast Team Alpha.” With his partner, Nori Love, they have created a MasterMind for Meditation and Manifestation of the future we like to see, instead of when others create everything for us.
