The Light Gate Episode #027: Experiencer Tony Ditata

Author: Preston Dennett February 25, 2026 Duration: 1:49:57
“The Light Gate” welcomes UFO contactee, Tony Ditata.

Tony Ditata was Born in New York, Tony Ditata had his first UFO sighting at age seventeen, while walking outside his home in Brentwood. A few years later, he experienced a dramatic face-to-face encounter with a gray alien on the local golf course. Before long, he started having memories of being taken onboard a craft. Soon more encounters followed: sightings, missing-time, onboard experiences, and more face-to-face encounters.

When Tony realized finally accepted that he was a UFO abductee, he sought regressive hypnosis and recalled an incredible experience where he and his girlfriend were taken onboard a massive disc which had landed alongside the road in upstate New York. Tony's encounters span the gamut of the UFO experience, with virtually every type of encounter, some of which are extremely bizarre.

At one point, he was able to meet with who he believes is his hybrid-ET daughter, or as he calls her, his "Star Daughter." Along with the UFO encounters came various paranormal experiences, such as poltergeist encounters, past life memories and more. Tony's encounters have left him profoundly changed, and have left him a whole new view of life on Earth and beyond. His story provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a contactee.

Tonight you will hear his story firsthand as he describes his encounters, and how they have affected him and altered the course of his life.

Tony's amazing encounters are documented in the book, “Onboard UFO Encounters: True Accounts of Contact with Extraterrestrials."

Step through THE LIGHT GATE and settle in for conversations that wander the blurred edges of reality. Hosts Preston Dennett and Dolly Safran guide these explorations, sitting down with a variety of guests to discuss experiences and ideas that challenge conventional understanding. Each episode delves into specific, curious territories, from the well-documented mysteries of Unidentified Flying Objects and government secrecy to more personal encounters with the extraterrestrial and the psychic. The dialogue often circles back to profound questions about consciousness, the nature of the afterlife, and creatures that might exist just outside the bounds of accepted science. This isn't about sensationalism, but rather a sincere, open-minded examination of what these phenomena could mean for our perception of existence itself. The resulting podcast feels like a series of late-night talks, where the topics are vast and the conclusions are often wonderfully elusive. If you've ever looked at the night sky with a sense of deep curiosity, or wondered about the untold stories hiding in the shadows of the everyday world, these conversations provide a thoughtful space to sit with those questions. Tune in for a journey that is as much about the inner landscapes of belief and wonder as it is about the outer mysteries of the universe.
