The Light Gate Episode #059: Open Mic (It's Q&A Night on The Light Gate!)

Author: Preston Dennett April 2, 2026 Duration: 1:16:02
It’s open mic night! Tonight, The Light Gate, features a Q&A episode with your hosts, Preston Dennett and Dolly Safran, and you, the audience! Ask us anything! UFOs, ghosts, OBEs, the paranormal! Time to have some fun. These episodes are always fun and interesting because we get to interact with all of you, and we cover so many different topics. 

Preston Dennett began investigating UFOs and the paranormal in 1986 when he discovered that his family, friends and co-workers were having dramatic unexplained encounters. Since then, he has interviewed hundreds of witnesses and investigated a wide variety of paranormal phenomena. He is a field investigator for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a ghost hunter, a paranormal researcher, and the author of 30 books and more than 100 articles on UFOs and the paranormal. Several of his books have been Amazon UFO bestsellers. His articles have appeared in numerous magazines including Fate, Atlantis Rising, MUFON UFO Journal, Nexus, Paranormal Magazine, UFO Magazine, Phenomena Magazine, Mysteries Magazine, Ufologist and others. His writing has been translated into several different languages including German, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Icelandic. He has appeared on numerous radio and television programs, including Midnight in the Desert with Art Bell, Coast-to-Coast and also the History Channel’s Deep Sea UFOs and UFO Hunters and Ancient Aliens. His research has been presented in the LA Times, the LA Daily News, the Dallas Morning News and other newspapers. He has taught classes on various paranormal subjects and lectures across the United States.

Dolly Safran has worked as a limo driver, assistant manager at Wendy’s, a zookeeper, a bus driver, a security guard, a nurse, and more, including as a civilian worker for the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and also in the Army as an employee for the U.S. Department of Defense. Her UFO contacts began around age one, and are still ongoing today. She is a fully conscious UFO contactee and the subject of the full-length book, “Symmetry: A True UFO Adventure.”

Thank you for tuning into The Light Gate. With Dolly Safran having so much extensive experience as a firsthand lifelong contactee, and my own experience as a longtime researcher, along with our wonderful guests, we aim to bring new insights into the field of UFOs and the paranormal, and a wide variety of other subjects. We all deserve to know the truth about what's happening on our planet, and beyond! If you enjoyed this episode, please check out the many others here.

Have fun!

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.
