One of Baba Vanga’s so-called ‘turning point’ predictions for 2025 still has time to come true - with a slew of major events on the horizon and a supposed comet passing close to the Earth.
Famed mystic Baba Vanga was born prematurely in 1911 in Strumica, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire but is now a small town in North Macedonia.
The prophet, whose real name was Vangelia Pandeva Dimitrova, lost her eyesight when she was 12 in what Sky History described as a ‘mysterious event’ which saw her being lifted high into the air by a tornado.
Of course, we don’t know if that bizarre feat actually took place, but Vanga claimed the aftermath was when she first experienced a prophetic vision.

As her reputation grew, everyone from celebrities to Tsars allegedly made the pilgrimage to her home in the Kozhuh mountains to seek the famous mystic’s guidance.
Vanga may have died in 1996, but she predicted a whole host of events before her death.
These allegedly included the death of Diana, the Princess of Wales, the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the 1986 Chernobyl disaster.

The presumed mystic also made a string of forecasts for what 2025 could have in store.
One of these would be that Europe would be engulfed by major conflict in 2025, writing: "A war in the East will begin, and there will be a Third World War. A war in the East that will destroy the West."
Another was that we’d experience breakthroughs in medical technology through scientists growing organs in a lab.
A third, which some have dubbed a ‘turning point’ prediction, is that extra-terrestrial life would make contact with the Earth for the first time during a ‘major sporting event’.

Both the FIFA Men’s Club World Cup and UEFA Women’s Euros have passed without aliens getting in touch, but there is still the Women’s Rugby World Cup, both the men’s Ashes series and the World Athletics Championships to come this year.
So there’s more than enough time for an otherworldly encounter to take place, which would change life as we know it.
Interestingly, Athos Salomé, 38, who is nicknamed the ‘Living Nostradamus’, has made a similar prediction for 2025.

Salomé said that the James Webb Telescope would be the instrument humanity used to uncover life across the galaxy.
"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," the Brazilian told the Daily Mail.
"If true, these discoveries could revolutionise one's view about the universe in which we exist - and about ourselves."

Both Vanga and Salomé’s predictions could come true this October, according to a group of Harvard University researchers.
They claim a recently discovered comet named 31/ATLAS could potentially be an alien probe.
"The hypothesis in question is that [31/ATLAS] is a technological artefact, and furthermore has active intelligence. If this is the case, then two possibilities follow," they wrote.
"If this is the case, then two possibilities follow: first, that its intentions are entirely benign and second, they are malign."
Of course, the comet could actually just be a comet - but we won’t know for sure until late October, when it is expected to pass our planet.
