The Light Gate Episode #022: Lifelong Experiencer Steve Boucher

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.
