The Light Gate Episode #084: James Goodall (researcher/author)

Author: Preston Dennett April 27, 2026 Duration: 1:52:53
Tonight, The Light Gate is honored to welcome James Goodall. He is an expert on UFOs, advanced aircraft and Skunk Works.

James C. Goodall is a published author with 27 books in print. He is a former Docent at Kitt Peak National Observatory, former Associate Curator at Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, former Restoration Manager on the MoFs deHavilland Comet Mk 4C at The Museum of Flight, and a former Master sergeant at United States Air Force. He studied Business marketing at University of Minnesota.

He is a recognized authority both on low-observable aircraft, such as the F-117, B-2A, the Lockheed ‘twins’ (F-22 and F-35) and the Lockheed Skunk Works family of Blackbirds, and the US Navy’s fleet of modern-day fast attack and ballistic missile submarines. He has been photographing and writing about ‘spooky’ military aircraft, naval ships and submarines for the past 35 years, and his last book, 75 years of the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, was published by Osprey in 2021.

James is exceedingly intelligent and incredibly funny. We had such an enjoyable and illuminating conversation that I'm sure you will enjoy.

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.
