UFO Researcher Details The STRANGEST Alien Encounters - Preston Dennett | DEBRIEFED ep 93
⏱ 190 min video · 4 min read19 Jun 2026Worth watching
TL;DR
UFO researcher Preston Dennett shares his personal ET encounters, onboard craft experience on his birthday in 2022, and decades of interviewing contactees, building a detailed picture of alien types, agendas, and the strange phenomenon of investigators themselves becoming targets of contact. The conversation also covers out-of-body experiences and their relationship to ET contact.
Key points
1
Preston Dennett had a fully conscious onboard ET experience on May 6, 2022, in which he was pulled through a wall, flew through space, explored a craft 500 miles above Earth, met a 7-8 foot tall gray he recognized as 'mama' from contactee Dolly Saffron's accounts, and was given a green liquid drink before blacking out back into bed.
2
Dennett coined the pattern 'UFO investigators disease' - a documented phenomenon where researchers who deeply investigate the subject begin experiencing their own encounters, which happened to him starting in 1992 during the Topanga Canyon UFO wave investigation.
3
Based on a personal 'download' vision, Dennett believes the Grays are evolved or damaged humans with a different ancestry, whose features changed due to radiation exposure - a view reinforced by contactee messages stating 'We are you, you are us, we are one.'
4
Dennett rejects the demonic, time-traveler, and single-intelligence theories of the UFO phenomenon, instead believing multiple distinct humanoid species are involved, some looking almost identical to humans, others classic Grays, and mantid beings acting as overseers.
5
Out-of-body experiences appear closely linked to UFO research and contact; Dennett and host Chris both began having spontaneous OBEs around the same time they intensified their UFO research, and Dennett used OBEs to reconnect with his deceased mother and explore expanded consciousness.
Key takeaways
→
If you are a UFO researcher or investigator, be aware that deep involvement in the subject may attract ET attention toward you personally - document everything immediately and do not dismiss anomalous events.
→
Dennett recommends recovering suppressed encounter memories through meditation and dream journaling rather than hypnosis, citing Betty Hill as an example of someone who recovered full abduction memories through dreaming alone.
→
Out-of-body experiences can be developed by anyone using Robert Monroe's exercises from 'Journeys Out of the Body' - Dennett recommends one hour of daily meditation, dream journaling, and allowing the process to unfold naturally without tools like Hemi-Sync.
Notable quotes
“It turns out this is a thing. If you start investigating this, they might start investigating you.”
“I honestly think we are dealing with people like us who certainly have a much better understanding of other dimensions, psychic abilities, and things like this, but they are all humanoid almost without exception.”
“She tilts her head, leans forward, and said telepathically, 'So, is this what you thought it would be like?' And I'm like, 'Nope, this is so much better. This is amazing.'”
