At the 20th annual International UFO Congress, or IUFOC, nearly 30 speakers will travel from around the world to Scottsdale, Ariz., on Wednesday for a five-day conference with topics including alien technology, government cover-ups, black projects, crop circles and ultimate disclosure of extraterrestrial visits to Earth.

"This year is pretty exciting because we have a very credible lineup -- we're really bringing a strong ex-military presence. We have six retired military personnel, three of whom were officers," said Alejandro Rojas of Open Minds Production, which is hosting the event.

"It's one thing to hear about here and there where the media will focus on certain stories, but to have all of these people together in one spot, I think, can be very moving and very eye-opening," Rojas told AOL News. "Especially when you see an abundance of people who are very credible and willing to talk openly about their beliefs that we're being visited by extraterrestrials."

The list of IUFOC speakers reads like a Who's Who of all things otherworldly. It includes Paul Hellyer, former Canadian minister of national defense; retired U.S. Army Col. John Alexander, a UFO myth and reality insider; Linda Moulton Howe, an Emmy Award-winning TV producer and investigative reporter; nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman; best-selling cover-up and conspiracy author Jim Marrs; award-winning space and missile defense consultant Carol Rosin; and retired U.S. Air Force Col. Charles Halt, the highest ranking U.S. military officer speaking about his personal, dramatic UFO experiences while in the military.

Also on hand at the event will be Nick Pope, author of "Open Skies, Closed Minds" (Dell), who was, essentially, Britain's real-life Fox ("X-Files") Mulder when he headed up the British government's UFO project at the Ministry of Defense, or MoD.

Pope's analysis of UFOs and his access to classified government files on the subject eventually convinced him that while some unidentified flying objects represented a real mystery, they didn't seem to threaten Britain's national security.

"I was charged to investigate every UFO sighting reported to the ministry and to assess whether there was evidence of anything of any defense significance. Was there a threat or was there anything else of any more general defense interest?" Pope told AOL News.

"For example, if any of these sightings could have told us anything interesting about aerodynamics and propulsion systems, irrespective of what these things are, whether we detected any threat or not, that might have been interesting from a technological perspective."
