CANBERRA, Oct 10 AAP - Evidence of extraterrestrials, top overseas experts and the latest on alien abductions are all promised by the organisers of a conference with a difference which takes off in Brisbane tomorrow.

Director of the Queensland branch of MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) Glennys Mackay said top speakers including bestselling alien abduction authors Whitley Strieber, whose book Communion became a film, and Professor John Mack, would attend the three-day event.

But she is particularly excited about the appearance of the director of Brazil's Centre for Flying Saucer research, Professor Ademar Gevaerd, who says he will present proof that the Brazilian military captured several extraterrestrial visitors on January 20 this year.

"This puts Roswell (an American town UFO watchers say was the site of an alien autopsy supervised by the US Government) and all the others to shame," Mrs Mackay told AAP.

She said Professor Gevaerd would show photographs and also screen a video rumoured to contain footage of an autopsy performed on the unexpected visitors, left stranded after their spacecraft crashed near the city of Varginha in central Brazil.

Mrs Mackay said she hadn't seen the video yet.

"All we know ... is that it has some pretty hot stuff," she said.

Witnesses, including military personnel, had told Professor Gevaerd the aliens had small humanoid bodies, three protuberances in the head similar to horns, and a strange odour.

Mrs Mackay said Brazil was not alone in being a popular attraction for alien visitors.

"There's a tremendous lot of sightings at the moment of green and blue lights over the Gold Coast and in the hinterland of northern NSW."

She is expecting about 500 people to descend on Brisbane for the event, which has attracted delegates from France, Africa, Japan, Taiwan and the US as well as from throughout Australia.

Members of the public - especially sceptics - were more than welcome to attend, she said.

"It's good to have a healthy scepticism. This is an opportunity for people to come and ask questions and check the information."

But she is confident the quality of the presentations will be convincing.

"I think if they don't go away believers they will go away and start being open (minded).

"We're just trying to get the truth out."
