| President Obama will announce this year aliens exist, according to Paradigm Research Group |
Steve Bassett, executive director of the Paradigm Research Group, is the only registered "alien disclosure" lobbyist in the United States and has been campaigning for the White House to come clean about what it really knows for the past 20 years.
In an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk, the 69-year-old set out why he is convinced 2016 will be the year for the world's most historic ever announcement.
There was an air of excitement about Mr Bassett as he arrived at the Daily Express offices in London during a visit to the UK and Europe to gather international support for a 20-year mission.
He was clutching a mock-up Daily Express front page he created with the words "We Are Not Alone" over the face of an alien as the top story.
He said: "This will be a reality this year and across the front pages of newspapers across the world. The most significant news story that has ever been broken."
Mr Bassett is convinced his two decades of work are about to bear fruit.
So why 2016?
A media storm has slowly been brewing on both sides of the Atlantic.
In January, Express.co.uk was among many media outlets that reported on remarks made by Hillary Clinton during the election trail, that she wanted to get to the bottom of the UFO mystery once and for all.
