In a statement on The Disclosure Activists web site, Mr Calka said: "I have come to the final conclusion that the only thing that will save this planet from self-destruction and allow the human species to advance our development amongst the stars is the formal acknowledgment of an extraterrestrial presence."

Dr Galarneau even believes that aliens have given world leaders technology, including the ability to create costless electricity, but withhold it from us so business tycoons can still cash in on fossil fuels.

She added: "We are aware that there are a number of suppressed technologies, including free energy, that have been withheld from our citizenry.

"We know that extraterrestrial craft have been reverse-engineered and that our military and space programs have craft of their own."

The pair hope that Trump's maverick nature could make him the first president to tear up the "truth embargo".
