About the Symposium
Advancing the Scientific Study of UAP
For decades, the MUFON Symposium has served as the premier annual gathering for serious UFO and UAP research. Each year, experts from around the world present their latest findings, examine historical and contemporary cases, and explore the broader implications of disclosure.
The 2026 Symposium focuses on how UFO revelations are shaping science, society, and humanity's understanding of the universe.
