Barack Obama is close to making a groundbreaking announcement regarding UFO and extra-terrestrial activity before he leaves office, it's been reported. <br /> <br />The US President is under pressure thanks to similar disclosure promises made by the campaign of Democratic candidate for Obama's replacement, Hillary Clinton. <br /> <br />Stephen Bassett, executive director of US-based Paradigm Research Group (PRG), believes that there could be a massive announcement to come. <br />And he says David Cameron will follow suit almost immediately after. <br /> <br />The 69-year-old has been lobbying the White House to release these details for 20 years and is excited about being "on the brink" of discovering the truth. <br /> <br />"This will be a reality this year and across the front pages of newspapers across the world, he told the Daily Express, adding that "ET is real". <br /> <br />"The most significant news story that has ever been broken." <br /> <br />"We are going to get disclosure this year. I am not sure who will win the election, but I think Obama will be the disclosure president. <br /> <br />"He will be looking at a Nobel Prize for making an announcement like that. <br /> <br />"I am 85% sure Obama will make the announcement before he leaves office and within days your Prime Minister David Cameron will follow." <br /> <br />The possible revelations would come just months after Clinton told a US talk show that she was keen on transparency of information on ET and UFOs. <br /> <br />Campaign manager John Podesta also spoke about releasing top-secret files. <br /> <br />The Democratic candidate spoke out on Jimmy Kimmel Live as she leads the race against Bernie Sanders for the party's nomination for November's election. <br /> <br />She has followed in the footsteps of her husband Bill, who appeared on the show in 2014 and was asked if he ever looked into UFOs or Area 51 - a top secret airbase rumored to "back engineer" alien craft. <br /> <br />Bill said "sort of" but added there were no dead aliens there. <br /> <br />Speaking for the first time on TV about the issue, she told Kimmel: “I’m going to do it again. There’s a new name for UFOs. It’s unexplained aerial phenomena. <br /> <br />"That's the new nomenclature. I would like us to go into those files and hopefully make as much of that as public as possible. <br /> <br />“If there’s nothing there, let’s tell people there’s nothing there. If there is something there, unless it’s a threat to national security, we ought to share it.”
