Baba Vanga, a blind Bulgarian mystic credited with foreseeing major world events, made several predictions for 2025 covering natural disasters, AI breakthroughs and political unrest
Baba Vanga, dubbed the Bulgarian Nostradamus, was a blind Bulgarian mystic who many believed possessed the gift of prophecy through her visions.
Renowned for allegedly predicting the 9/11 terror attacks, the Covid-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, the seer’s track record of accurate forecasts has prompted many to scrutinise her words for glimpses into what lies ahead.
This year the mystic foretold of numerous calamities and innovations visiting humanity as she predicted numerous natural disasters and even technoligal breakthroughs in science and medicine. As 2025 draws to a close, here’s a breakdown of the Bulgarian Nostradamus’ predictions she appears to have got spot on this year, alongside a few that may have missed the mark.
Natural catastrophes
For 2025, the mystic foresaw humanity being battered by countless natural calamities, envisioning scenes of turmoil and widespread displacement across the globe. In one prophecy, the clairvoyant spoke of “double fire that will rise from heaven and earth simultaneously” occurring in 2025.
Numerous theorists have interpreted the fortune-teller’s words as potentially referring to a series of devastating earthquakes worldwide, which have wreaked havoc on communities in nations such as the Philippines (October) and Afghanistan (August and November).
As the many analysed her words about “double fire that will rise from heaven and earth simultaneously” to be in reference to the numerous volcanic eruptions that occurred across the globe. 2025 saw a number of volcano eruptions occur as Mount Etna (Italy) and Kanlaon (Philippines) all erupt over the course of the year.
Technology
Regarding technological advances, many have interpreted the mystic’s cryptic phrase “What is opened cannot be closed” as a prophecy about the trajectory of technology in 2025.
The technological breakthrough that has seized headlines this year has been the extraordinary advances in Artificial Intelligence with Time magazine even naming the “Architects of AI” as their “person of the year” in 2025.
Some theorist believe the mystics prediction could point to major developments in artificial intelligence or biotechnology as she also predicted breakthroughs in cancer treatment for 2025 – potentially even a cure.
Aliens
Regarding extra-terrestrials, the mystic prophesied in 2025 a UFO would manifest as a “new light in the sky” during a major sporting event. This encounter would enable humanity’s first contact with alien beings – delivering knowledge rather than terror to the world.
While aliens have not come down from the cosmos to introduce themselves to mankind, some theorists have suggested Baba Vanga’s forecast rings true. Hopeful theorists point to the passage of the interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS as the “new light in the sky” Baba Vaga speaks of – which reached its nearest approach to Earth on December 19, 2025.
NASA and fellow astronomers have determined the object is simply a dead comet. But many continue to suspect 3I/ATLAS might be an alien vessel. The mystic’s prophecy specifically outlined a UFO would manifest as a “new light in the sky” above the event, enabling humanity’s inaugural encounter with extra-terrestrials – delivering enlightenment rather than panic to the world.
Politics
On the subject of politics, the mystics’ prophecies that in 2025 “The united hand will be broken into two, and each will go its own way.” Observers interpret this as a possible allusion to fractures within NATO or the European Union, and even the decline in America’s military assistance to Ukraine’s war effort.
Numerous analysts have suggested this prediction might indicate a widening chasm between the United States and Europe, as tensions have started emerging amongst the various western nations. Earlier this month, Trump launched an assault on the continent and said: “Europe is a different place. If that keeps going the way it’s going, in my opinion, many of those countries will not be viable countries any longer.”
He said: “Their immigration policy is a disaster.” The divide between America and Europe could persist beyond the Trump presidency following the publication of a National Security Strategy that lambasted Europe and cautioned of “civilisational erasure” across the continent. The paper urged for “cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations” a stance which has been blasted for being anti-democratic.
The End of Europe
One catastrophic occurrence that the mystic foretold for 2025 that hasn’t yet materialised is a devastating incident that will herald mankind’s downfall.
The seer foretold of a calamity that will trigger humanity’s destruction will be an undefined conflict in Europe that will obliterate the continent’s population. Some have speculated the event might be referencing the Ukrainian conflict.
While 2025 has been an eventful year the seer predicts many more historic incidents unfolding in 2026 which will alter the course of mankind forever. In 2026 mystic foretold of the arrival of an unidentified civilisation venturing to Earth and even the potential exploration of other planets, including Venus.
