Aliens are — soon to be — among us, according to these allegedly all-seeing psychics.
Though Baba Vanga, the blind Bulgarian oracle, died back in 1996, she made a few major predictions for the future, and psychics of today, the renowned Living Nostradamus included, concur on this particular prognosis.
She prophesied that humans would come into contact with extraterrestrials in the year 2025, and that the event would likely coincide with a “major sporting event.”
Though a few of the year’s most notable games and championships have already occurred — Wimbledon, the Super Bowl and the NBA playoffs, to name a few — the year is only halfway over, so there are still plenty of rowdy sporting events to draw extraterrestrial visitors in.
Athos Salomé — also known as the Living Nostradamus, after the 15th-century French astrologer and seer of the same name — has also predicted that humanity can cross alien contact off its bucket list at some point this year.
Salomé, a 38-year-old self-proclaimed paranormal expert and fortune teller from Brazil, told The Daily Mail that technological advancements and increased space exploration would result in our humble species’ eventual convergence with extraterrestrial life.
“Thanks to the James Webb Telescope, humanity might finally get the answer to the existence of alien life, while governments like the US may declassify UFO files,” he explained. “If true, these discoveries could revolutionise one’s view about the universe in which we exist — and about ourselves.”
The telescope, which departed our home planet in December 2021, is currently orbiting the sun. While it has certainly led to some major new astronomical findings, including the discovery of an exoplanet back in June 2025, it hasn’t yet discovered any extraterrestrial life — though, never say never.
However, some experts say that excessive alien anticipation can be harmful to society.
“Too much background noise about UFOs and UAPs can also get in the way of legitimate science communication about the possibility of finding microbial extraterrestrial life,” wrote Tony Milligan, a research fellow in the philosophy of ethics at King’s College in London, for a paper published in The Conversation.
“It is increasingly clear that belief in alien visitation is no longer just a fun speculation, but something that has real and damaging consequences,” he continued.
Both the Living Nostradamus and Baba Vanga claim to have accurately predicted major events in the past — though in Baba Vanga’s case, there is no official record of her premonitions.
Before her death, which she also factually foretold, Baba Vanga is attributed with correctly prophesying Princess Diana’s untimely passing and the 9/11 attacks, as well as several other notable global events.
Meanwhile, Salomé claims to have accurately predicted Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, Queen Elizabeth’s death and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aside from extraterrestrial contact, he also predicted that World War III could occur in 2025 and additionally speculated that AI technology would become increasingly more powerful.
“Advanced systems will be able to operate in multiple domains at the same time, mimicking human reasoning,” he said in the same Daily Mail interview.
“An AI will be able to design buildings, plan advertising campaigns and diagnose diseases in a matter of seconds. But as we transfer so much power to machines, the question arises: what happens if we lose control?”
