Baba Vanga, often referred to as the 'Nostradamus of the Balkans', has made unsettling predictions for 2026, foreseeing the onset of World War 3 that could involve major global powers such as China and the United States. With rising international tensions, her forecasts suggest a catastrophic conflict that spans multiple continents, igniting political instability worldwide. Furthermore, she anticipates a significant economic downturn, potentially leading to a financial meltdown that could worsen the cost of living crisis in Britain. Vanga also predicts the demise of Vladimir Putin, paving the way for a new Russian leader who may reshape international relations. Alongside these geopolitical upheavals, she warns of environmental disasters, including tectonic shifts and volcanic eruptions, affecting 8% of the Earth's surface. Additionally, she foresees that artificial intelligence will begin to transform daily life and commerce in unprecedented ways. Notably, Vanga predicts that humanity will encounter extraterrestrial intelligence in November 2026, suggesting a monumental shift in our understanding of life beyond Earth.
