Some say it’s all superstition—others are starting to wonder.

Could 2025 be the year humanity finally meets intelligent life beyond Earth?

According to two well-known prophets—Baba Vanga and the so-called “Living Nostradamus,” Athos Salomé—the answer might be yes.


And that’s not all they’re predicting. From cosmic encounters to war and artificial intelligence, these forecasts are stirring curiosity, skepticism, and a fair bit of dinner-table debate.

Let’s take a closer look at what these modern and historical mystics have said, and how it compares to what we know from science and recent events.


Meet the mystics: Baba Vanga and Athos Salomé

Before diving into the predictions, it helps to know who’s behind them:

• Baba Vanga was a blind mystic from Bulgaria who passed away in 1996. Her followers credit her with foreseeing major world events such as the 9/11 attacks and the rise of ISIS, though many of her prophecies were recorded after her death and lack clear documentation.
• Athos Salomé, sometimes referred to as the “Living Nostradamus,” is a Brazilian psychic and paranormal expert in his late 30s. His bold predictions have gained attention in recent years, with some comparing him to the original Nostradamus of the 1500s.

Despite the decades and distance between them, both seers have made strikingly similar predictions for 2025—including the possibility of an extraterrestrial encounter.

A cosmic connection in 2025?

Baba Vanga reportedly predicted that humans would make contact with alien life in 2025—and intriguingly, that it might happen during a major sporting event.

Whether that means the Olympics, the World Cup, or even the Super Bowl, the idea is enough to raise eyebrows.

Athos Salomé supports the same idea, suggesting that discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope—or the declassification of long-held UFO documents—could finally bring the truth to light.

He also hints that governments, particularly the US, may soon unveil evidence they’ve kept hidden.

What does science say?

Of course, predictions and psychic visions aren’t substitutes for science.

But the James Webb Space Telescope has already revolutionized our view of the universe.

Since its launch in late 2021, it has discovered new planets, galaxies, and details from the early cosmos—but no confirmed signs of alien life yet.

Meanwhile, public discussions around UFOs (or UAPs, short for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) have grown.

The Pentagon has released reports, and even Congress has held hearings.

Still, researchers like Tony Milligan of King’s College London warn that too much speculation can blur the line between curiosity and conspiracy, potentially undermining legitimate scientific inquiry.

Looking at their track records

Baba Vanga is often credited with uncanny foresight, including Princess Diana’s death and the fall of the Soviet Union.

However, skeptics note that many of these claims were written down after the fact.

As for Salomé, he has built a following through dramatic and sometimes vague forecasts that invite broad interpretation—much like many historical prophets.

More than just aliens: war and AI worries

The predictions for 2025 don’t stop at alien life.

Salomé also warns of rising global tensions, including the possibility of a third world war.

Though that’s a recurring theme in prophecy, it always strikes a chord in uncertain times.

He also sees artificial intelligence reaching a new peak—designing buildings, diagnosing diseases, and more.

While some see AI as a helpful tool, others worry about its potential to spiral beyond our control.


Prophecies have long captivated the human imagination, especially during times of global change.

While there’s no scientific evidence that psychics can see the future, history reminds us that dramatic changes often catch us by surprise.

If nothing else, these predictions are a chance to reflect on how much we still don’t know—and to stay open to possibility, while keeping our feet firmly on the ground.
