The Light Gate Episode #004: Experiencer, author, researcher, Dev Rugne

from THE LIGHT GATE · host Preston Dennett

Experiencer, investigator, author, Dev Rugne has over 40 years of UFO research and independent investigative experience. She became interested in UFOs at an early age and has had many UFO sightings and paranormal experiences. Her main interest has been the abduction phenomenon, with a high interest in close encounter cases with unknown crafts. But she’s also studied other strange topics, including DogMen!After moving up to Portland, Oregon, Dev rejoined MUFON in January of 2008 and became the Oregon MUFON Chief Investigator. Moving back to Northern California in early 2010, she became a Section State Director for seven counties, then became the Chief Investigator later that year. Dev is now the Assistant State Director and is on the STAR team. She has spoken at many chapter meetings, conferences, UFO-related radio shows, podcasts and has been on a couple of TV shows.She is the author of the book, “UFO Investigator: A Personal Look into Circumstance, Investigations and Discovery.” Nothing but great reviews. About Dev's book: What makes people who are more than just interested in UFOs become UFO investigators? Is it that we want to learn the truth about an intriguing enigma? Could it be a burning desire to know what UFOs are and who is flying them? Or is it that our own sightings and strange events have us looking for answers through the cases we investigate? For me, it is all of the above. UFOs have always consumed my life, and I have always wondered why? After many years, I could no longer deny several events that had taken place during my life that pointed to a deeper involvement.In this episode, Dev talks about her own personal experiences and encounters with UFOs and shares some of the most interesting cases that she has personally investigated in her career as a UFO researcher. 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.
