With the end of the year fast approaching, people are once again becoming concerned with the predictions for the future made by so-called prophets.
Baba Vanga, a Bulgarian mystic, is credited with foreseeing the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the spread of Covid-19, reports the Daily Mail.
Given this supposed track record, it is tempting to take everything that this figure has said as meaningful – but what about their predictions for the year that’s now coming to a close?
Baba Vanga’s first 2025 prophecy: Humans to make contact with alien lifeforms
One of Baba Vanga’s prophecies for 2025, which predicted that humans would make contact with alien life, was directly tied to last Friday’s FIFA World Cup 2026 draw in Washington DC.
Specifically, the mystic’s vision described a UFO that would appear like a “new light in the sky” over the event, allowing humanity to meet extraterrestrials for the first time – bringing the world answers instead of fear.
Moreover, this historic moment was predicted to take place during a major sporting event and people from around the world would be able to see it, although Baba Vanga never revealed which sporting event this would happen at.

However, it is important to note that Baba Vanga left no written records of her predictions. Most of the accounts come from her niece, Krasimira Stoyanova, or other followers who documented her alleged visions after her death, and who have been accused of misinterpreting what she said.
During the roughly one-hour ceremony, all 48 qualified teams were randomly placed into 12 groups of four, deciding exactly who will play whom in the opening stage of the tournament next summer at stadiums throughout the US, Canada and Mexico. While there can be no doubt that the selection ceremony on December 5 set the stage for the next edition of one of the most popular tournaments around the globe, there was no “new light in the sky” that could have been interpreted as an example of extraterrestrial life.
However: Social media users point to interstellar object 3I/ATLAS
Still, some on social media have claimed that Baba Vanga’s prediction is accurate, thanks to the passage of the mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, which will make its closest pass by Earth on December 19. NASA and other astronomers have concluded that the object is a lifeless comet, but many in the public, including at least one distinguished researcher, still believe 3I/ATLAS could be an extraterrestrial spacecraft.
Speculation around other celestial events
There has also been speculation that the light in Baba Vanga’s vision could refer to a meteor shower, the Northern Lights, or the expected supernova of T Coronae Borealis Nova 3,000 light years away, which would be visible from Earth.
Many believers thought this event would take place during the Super Bowl in February, which is one of the most viewed television events annually, but that did not happen.
Deadly earthquakes and devastating war in Europe among Baba Vanga’s other 2025 predictions
Before she died in 1996, the psychic predicted that 2025 would see earthquakes ravage the world. Indeed, there have been a number of deadly earthquakes this year, which have had devastating effects on communities in countries including the Philippines (October) and Afghanistan (August and November).
She also predicted a devastating war in Europe that would decimate the continent’s population. As previously mentioned, both the war between Ukraine and Russia and the conflict in Gaza appear to qualify the psychic’s prediction.
As the year draws to a close, it remains to be seen whether any of Baba Vanga’s remaining predictions for 2025 will come to pass. While some may dismiss her visions as mere speculation or misinterpretation, others continue to hold out hope that the mystic’s alleged glimpses into the future will prove accurate.
