According to the event's organizing team - The Canadian Contact Collective - the December 2016 article in the New York Times by correspondents Ralph Blumenthal, Leslie Kean and Helene Cooper - Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program is what ignited the disclosure explosion that persists to this day.
The article shocked the news world by revealing that unbeknownst to the general public and U.S. Congress, the Pentagon had been investigating UFOs for years - from 2007 to 2012 with $22 million in funding obtain by former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

The NY Times article referenced remarkable visual evidence of the famous Tic-Tac UFO image engaging an American jet over the Pacific Ocean. To this day experts, military officials and Congressional leaders continue to debate the videos’ authenticity and possible origins.

"Working closely with former Pentagon official Lue Elizondo and later a group of U.S. Navy aviators, we quickly captured the attention of Congress. We managed to convince them the phenomena were real and America needed to take action to determine the capabilities of these craft and the identity and intentions of their operators."[Politico]

When asked why hold a symposium now? Ms. Mitchell-Clarke told ZNN, "First of all it must be acknowledged that the entire landscape of disclosure has been altered. When ex-Pentagon official Luis Elizondo and former Assistant Deputy Secretary of Defence for Intelligence under President Clinton Christopher Mellon broke ranks with the US government in 2016, they released the worldwide blockbuster Tic-Tac video. This set off a firestorm of controversy that has not yet subsided."
Ms. Mitchell-Clarke went on to say, "CNBC, CBS 60 Minutes, ABC and yes - even our own CBC in Canada has joined the international media in showing the video and reporting on U.S. Navy pilot testimony... So, now it's Toronto's turn to tell the world."
ZNN can confirm that after a major confrontation with the Pentagon, Luis Elizondo retained former Watergate solicitor Daniel P. Sheehan to demand a Pentagon spokesperson cease and desist from making false statements about Elizondo's actual role as Director of the then UFO investigation program, AATIP (the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program).
ZNN has also since confirmed with Mr. Sheehan's office that he is expected to address the Toronto symposium not only to throw light on Mr. Elizondo's challenge to the U.S. Pentagon, but to also reveal how the intended evolution of bi-partisan UAP legislation initiated by Senate Majority Leader Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was gutted by House Representative Mike Turner (R-OH).
In a final statement Ms. Michell-Clarke insisted, "The era of politics and UAP has now emerged as a reality. It is now time to bring the future closer - and we'll do it at the Toronto Contact and Disclosure Symposium."
