Prophecies attributed to Baba Vanga have drawn renewed attention following an announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump ordering the release of classified government files related to UFOs and extraterrestrial life.

On February 19, President Trump said he would instruct the Pentagon and relevant agencies to review and make public documents concerning unidentified flying objects (UFOs), unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), and the possible existence of life beyond Earth. The decision has sparked global debate and revived long-standing theories about alien contact.

Amid this backdrop, one of Baba Vanga’s most controversial predictions has resurfaced. According to accounts from her relatives and followers, the blind Bulgarian mystic allegedly foretold that humanity would make its first contact with extraterrestrial beings in November 2026. She reportedly described a “giant spacecraft” entering Earth’s atmosphere, providing undeniable proof of alien life, though she did not specify the visitors’ intentions.

Trump’s announcement and public reaction
Trump’s directive came just days after former U.S. President Barack Obama caused a stir by saying during an interview that “aliens are real.” Although Obama later clarified that he was referring to unexplained aerial phenomena rather than extraterrestrial beings, the remark fueled widespread speculation.

According to media reports, Trump is preparing a formal speech on UFOs later this year that may outline what the U.S. government knows about unexplained phenomena. This has further intensified interest in Baba Vanga’s prophecy, particularly her alleged warning that the appearance of a massive spacecraft could be linked to the outbreak of World War III.

A controversial prophetic legacy
Born in 1911, Baba Vanga lost her sight at the age of 12 after a violent storm—an event often associated with the beginning of her claimed psychic abilities. She became known as the “Nostradamus of the Balkans,” with supporters crediting her with predicting events such as the September 11 attacks, the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and the rise of ISIS.

She also reportedly made far-reaching predictions about the distant future, including underwater cities built with alien assistance in the year 2130 and the invention of time travel in 2288. Baba Vanga died on August 11, 1996—a date she was said to have predicted herself.

However, many of her forecasts remain unverified or have failed to materialize. For example, claims that UFOs would appear at a major sporting event in 2025 did not come true. Scientists and agencies such as NASA have repeatedly dismissed conspiracy theories surrounding extraterrestrial visits, citing a lack of evidence.

As the U.S. government prepares to release more classified material, public curiosity continues to grow. The question remains whether Baba Vanga’s prediction of first contact in November 2026 will prove prophetic—or simply another enduring mystery fueled by speculation.
