Space Symposium 2026

In April 2026, the Space Symposium hosted what is being widely cited as its first-ever dedicated UFO/UAP panel discussion. The event focused heavily on government transparency, aerospace safety, and stripping away the historical stigma surrounding the topic within the elite space and defense contracting communities. The panels were organized and driven by the WEAPONIZED team (Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp). They took place as featured, live-audience “Tech Talks” hosted at the Redwire Space pavilion (Booth #1373), which essentially turned its footprint at the symposium into a live broadcasting stage for UAP disclosure advocates. The LineupThe panel featured a heavy-hitting cross-section of political, intelligence, and aerospace figures: Representative Eric Burlison (R-MO): Spoke directly on congressional oversight, pushing for transparency, and his work on the House task force. David Grusch: The former U.S. intelligence officer and whistleblower (who now acts as an advisor to Rep. Burlison on secret files) made his first official appearance on a National Space Symposium panel. Mike Gold: A seasoned space industry executive (and President of Redwire Space) who has previously testified before Congress regarding the UAP enigma. RADM (Ret.) Timothy Gallaudet: Retired Rear Admiral who has been a vocal proponent for studying UAPs from an oceanographic and maritime/aerospace safety perspective. Rod Roddenberry: CEO of Roddenberry Entertainment, adding a foundational cultural perspective to the search for intelligence.
