On September 25, 2005, I attended my first Symposium on UFO Disclosure which took place at the Convocation Hall of the University of Toronto.

On the eve of the Symposium (September 24, 2005), I was at the CFRB 1010 radio station where "Strange Days...Indeed" host Errol Bruce-Knapp and co-host Victor Viggiani interviewed three of the four speakers: Richard Dolan, Stanton T. Friedman and Stephen G. Bassett.

David Cherniack was there to shoot video footage for documentaries he's working on. His most recent project was a documentary entitled UFOs: The Secret History, which aired on the History channel on July 15, 2008.

During the Symposium, I met up with some colleagues of mine that I had known for a few years, as well as some new people, including Mike Bird, the Provincial Director for MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) in Ontario, and Victor Viggiani who co-hosted "Strange Days...Indeed!"
