‘AI takeover, alien arrival’: What are Baba Vanga predictions for 2026? Disasters, war loom

Blind mystic Baba Vanga, often referred to as one of the world’s most accurate prophets, left behind alarming visions for the year 2026. Her followers believe the Bulgarian-born clairvoyant foresaw global conflicts, disasters, and even alien contact, painting a grim picture of the future.According to reports by the Daily Star, Vanga claimed that 2026 would see the outbreak of World War Three, triggered by escalating tensions in the East. She allegedly warned: “In the spring, 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.” She also reportedly foretold that Russian President Vladimir Putin would become “lord of the world” and that Europe could be reduced to a “wasteland.”Natural disasters form a major part of her forecast for 2026. Vanga predicted a string of catastrophic events including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and extreme climate shifts, which she suggested could devastate as much as 7–8% of Earth’s landmass. Ecosystems and vital infrastructure, she warned, would be at risk of collapse.Technology is also at the centre of her prophecies. Vanga suggested artificial intelligence may advance to the point of dominating human lives — controlling jobs, relationships, and everyday activities. As reports summarised, she implied 2026 could be the year humanity begins to lose control to machines.But perhaps the most startling prediction concerns outer space. Vanga is said to have foreseen the arrival of a vast spacecraft in November 2026, marking humanity’s first confirmed contact with extraterrestrials. Baba Vanga, born Vangeliya Pandeva Dimitrova in 1911 in what is now North Macedonia, lost her sight at the age of 12 after being swept up by a tornado. By her 30s she was known for her predictions and healing abilities, attracting attention from ordinary people as well as world leaders, including Bulgaria’s Tzar Boris III and Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev. She died in 1996, aged 84, and her home in Petrich, Bulgaria, was later turned into a museum.
