Healed By Aliens: 300 Documented Cases | UFO Author Preston Dennett

<p>Are some UFO encounters actually healing people?</p><p>In this interview, I sit down with veteran UFO researcher and author Preston Dennett to talk about his landmark work on over 300 cases of people who say they were healed by non-human intelligences. From injuries and infections to chronic illnesses and even cancer, Preston has spent decades gathering testimony, medical records, and investigator reports to map out one of the strangest – and most hopeful – patterns in the UFO phenomenon. </p><p>We dig into what these cases have in common, how the healings seem to work, who gets chosen, and what this might reveal about alien motives. We also talk about the darker side – when people aren’t healed – and how mainstream science reacts when confronted with this kind of data.</p><p>If you’ve only heard about abductions and fear, this conversation flips the script and asks: what if part of the agenda is actually to help us?</p><p><br></p><p>⏱️ Chapters (approx.)</p><p>00:00 Intro – why UFO healings matter</p><p>03:00 How Preston discovered the first healing cases</p><p>10:00 Types of illnesses &amp; injuries reportedly healed</p><p>22:00 Patterns in who gets healed (and why)</p><p>34:00 Tech, light beams &amp; “ET doctors”</p><p>47:00 Skeptics, medical records &amp; evidence</p><p>1:02:00 What this says about alien motives</p><p><br></p><p>🔗 Preston Dennett’s work</p><p>📚 All of Preston’s books (including The Healing Power of UFOs)</p><p>https://prestondennett.weebly.com/books.html</p><p>Preston's YouTube channel:</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/@prestondennett577</p><p>Chris Lehto is a former F-16 pilot with 18 years of experience in the Air Force.
