Baba Vanga and Living Nostradamus predict 'turning point' 2025 event
Two famous psychics, known for chillingly predicting the coronavirus pandemic, Princess Diana's death, and the 9/11 attacks, are now forecasting extra-terrestrial contact for this year.
Baba Vanga and the so-called Living Nostradamus have both predicted that 2025 will be the year aliens make contact with Earth.
The blind Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga, who passed away in 1996 aged 84, envisioned Earth establishing communication with alien life during a "major sporting event".
Speculation is mounting about when we might witness this otherworldly encounter with numerous significant events approaching, such as the Women's Euro final, Women's Rugby World Cup, and Formula 1 races, reports the Mirror.
Athos Salomé, 38, from Brazil - nicknamed the Living Nostradamus - has meanwhile pinpointed the James Webb telescope as the instrument through which we'll uncover alien life. Launched on Christmas Day in 2021, NASA proclaimed it as "the largest, most powerful and most complex telescope ever launched into space".
"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," Salomé told Femail. "If true, these discoveries could revolutionise one's view about the universe in which we exist - and about ourselves."
The James Webb telescope has been revealing the mysteries of space, illuminating the universe's first moments following the Big Bang.
Despite Vanga passing away almost three decades ago, her predictions for 2025 are generating widespread discussion. She predicted that this year would witness humanity establishing contact with alien life forms and experiencing breakthroughs in medical technology through laboratory-grown human organs, potentially ending transplant waiting lists and substantially prolonging human life. According to Sky History, such medical progress could drastically boost lifespans, potentially extending them beyond 120 years.
Vanga's additional predictions for 2025 include multiple earthquakes and a devastating European conflict. She once declared: "Russia will not only survive, it will dominate the world."
Salomé has warned 2025 could mark the year when "humanity may lose control of technology." The psychic stressed that whilst the coming year holds promise for revolutionary breakthroughs, it simultaneously presents unprecedented dangers.
He proposed that the advent of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and medical advancements could signify either a revolutionary leap forward or an impending disaster, dubbing 2025 as a "turning point".

ITV Karen Pirie season two ending explained as devastating murder case solved
Karen Pirie has returned to ITV with a second season and a new case to solve After a lengthy three-year hiatus, the much-anticipated return of Karen Pirie has graced our screens with its second series on ITV. Adapted from Val McDermid's acclaimed Inspector Karen Pirie novels, the drama features Outlander star Lauren Lyle as the eponymous protagonist, portraying a bold and spirited Scottish detective "with a quick mouth and a tenacious desire for the truth". The latest series, entitled A Darker Domain, sees Pirie embroiled in yet another cold case, peeling back layers of deception to unearth the grim realities shrouded in secrecy and a tangled web of potential motives. The three-part season exposes the 1984 kidnap of a charming heiress to a vast oil fortune, Catriona Grant, and her two-year-old son Adam. They were brutally taken and held at gunpoint outside a fish and chip shop in Fife, with the ransom notes leading to an uncontrollable press storm. However, as the kidnappers retreated into silence and the police investigation hit a dead end, the fate of Catriona and Adam remained shrouded in enigma, reports the Mirror. The discovery of a corpse connected to the original kidnapping, the first shred of evidence in decades, propels Pirie and her squad into what could be the defining case of their careers, all while under the watchful eye of Catriona's father. "As Karen delves deeper into what happened in the autumn of 1984, political grudges and painful secrets reveal themselves, and it soon becomes clear... the past is far from dead," hints the tantalising synopsis. Karen Pirie season two ending explained - what happened to Catriona Grant? In a startling revelation, it turns out that Catriona (portrayed by Julia Brown) was complicit in her own abduction. Motivated by a desire to retaliate against her father Brodie (played by James Cosmo) upon learning that he had exploited Fergus (John Michie) - Adam's covert biological father - to conceal the fatalities caused by his oil operations, Cat and her boyfriend Mick (Mark Rowley) orchestrated a faux kidnapping. Her plan was to abscond with her father's wealth and start afresh with Adam, but this scheme was thrown into chaos when Mick's mates Andy and Kevin got entangled in their plot. Mick, sceptical of Kevin, aimed to keep Cat's involvement in the kidnapping under wraps, leading to a heated debate about whether they should disclose the truth to Kevin. When Kevin eavesdropped on their dispute, he threatened to expose the truth to Brodie, prompting Cat to shoot him in the head, resulting in his death. His body was discovered years later, triggering the commencement of the investigation. However, his remains weren't the only ones unearthed. Pirie's team stumbled upon Cat's body in a cave, with viewers soon discovering that her mother, Brodie's former wife Mary (Frances Tomelty), was responsible for her death following an emotional confession. Fergus and Brodie had uncovered Cat's role in orchestrating the entire kidnapping, and arranged a meeting with Mick, Andy and Cat to hand over the money. Unbeknownst to them, Mary had trailed them armed with a gun, intending to frighten off the actual kidnappers, oblivious to the fact that her daughter had been aware of the whole situation all along. Upon reaching the cave, she fired two shots, accidentally killing Cat and triggering a collapse that left her trapped inside. Mick, Andy, and Adam managed to get away, while Brodie and Mary concealed the truth for years, clinging to the hope that Cat had somehow survived. They weren't the only ones to discover the truth however, as Adam, re-named Gabriel after Mick raised him in Italy, learned who he really was and about his biological father and mother. The case ends with the arrests of Mary and Brodie, and Adam meeting his biological father Fergus, who is also on trial, but choosing to continue living his life with Mick in Malta, as he couldn't be reached by the Scottish authorities there. "There's no joy in closing a case like this, no joy, no celebration," Karen reflects as the series draws to a close. "Because my job is about finding answers, and I hope those answers bring peace. "But sometimes they aren't the answers that anyone wants to hear, people aren't who you expect them to be, victims don't always fit the ideal narrative. "Money and power can help you re-write history until even you believe it, but [in the end] everyone needs the truth, so I'll keep looking for it."

South Africa is officially one of the world's funniest countries
If there's one thing South Africans are known for, it's our ability to laugh through just about anything. We don't take ourselves too seriously – and more often than not, that sense of humour brings us together. Take lockdown, for example. When Cabinet Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma defended the tobacco ban with her now-infamous line – "When people zol, they put saliva on the paper, and then they share that zol" – the internet did what it does best. Within days, Capetonian music producer Max Hurrell had turned the moment into the viral hit 'Zol', which quickly became a national lockdown anthem. Fast forward to the 2023 Rugby World Cup and the peak of loadshedding, and Mgarimbe gave 'Sister Bethina', affectionately called South Africa's unofficial second national anthem, a fresh spin with 'Amabokoboko (Sister Bokkina)', featuring the memorable line: "We're taking the loadshedding to France, boys." View this post on Instagram A post shared by 947 (@947joburg) Now, science has caught up with what we've always known. A global study by Remitly using the Humour Styles Questionnaire, involving 6,000 participants across 30 countries, set out to identify the World's Funniest Nations – and South Africa made the list, ranking 19th with an average humour score of 69.26. The study assessed four types of humour: Affiliative humour: The social glue – friendly, inclusive, and uplifting. Self-enhancing humour: Optimistic and resilient – helping people cope through tough times. Aggressive humour: Sarcastic, teasing, and sometimes at others' expense. Self-defeating humour: Self-deprecating and used to deflect or gain approval. While we didn't crack the top 10 overall, South Africa did claim the number one spot for both affiliative and self-enhancing humour. The 10 Funniest Nations: Czech Republic Portugal Ireland Belgium Chile Greece Australia Poland Denmark Hungary So no, we might not be the absolute funniest, but when it comes to laughter that brings people together and keeps spirits high, South Africa leads the pack. As if our sense of humour isn't enough (we're looking at you Trevor Noah), we've were also recently named one of the Best Countries on Earth!

Terrifying new Earth-sized planet found with deadly secret that would instantly kill anyone visiting
Anything that lands there would be immediately incinerated NIGHTMARE WORLD Terrifying new Earth-sized planet found with deadly secret that would instantly kill anyone visiting A NEW Earth-sized planet has been discovered in a faraway constellation - and it would kill any astronaut who dare travel there. Some 117.4 light-years away from Earth, scientists have stumbled across a nightmarish alien world where the planet's surface is likely molten. 5 The surface of molten exoplanet Credit: Alamy 5 An artist's impression of a molten exoplanet Credit: Alamy The planet, dubbed TOI-2431, orbits quite close to its nearest star over a very short period, resulting in a high surface temperature. Unlike Earth, which has an orbital period of 365 days, TOI-2431 orbits its star in only 5.4 hours - making it one of the shortest period exoplanets ever discovered. The alien world, located in constellation Cetus, is thought to have a surface temperature of about 1,700C (3092F). Anything that lands there would be immediately incinerated. The international team of astronomers, led by Kaya Han Taş of the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, detected the new exoplanet orbiting a nearby star using Nasa's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). 5 Nasa's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) Credit: Nasa "We have confirmed the ultra-short period planet TOI-2431 b using a combination of photometric transit data from TESS, precise radial velocity observations with the NEID and HPF spectrographs, and ground-based speckle imaging with the NESSI instrument," researchers wrote in the new research paper. The Nasa tool monitors about 200,000 bright stars near Earth, scanning for hidden planets that might cause any blips of light as they pass their star. Just last week, researchers revealed they used TESS to follow a repetitive flicker of starlight to a new 'Super Earth' 154 light-years away. Since its launch in April 2018, the satellite has identified more than 7,600 possible exoplanets - which are nicknamed TESS Objects of Interest, or TOI. Exactly 638 of these have been confirmed as alien worlds so far. Best-ever sign of ALIEN life found on distant planet as scientists '99.7% sure of astounding biological activity signal' The planet's host star is only about two-thirds the size and mass of our Sun, and appears to be pulling the planet towards a fiery death. Researchers estimated that the planet has a tidal decay timescale of about 31 million years - which is fairly short in the grand schemes of the universe. Tidal decay causes a planet's orbit to gradually shrink and spiral towards its host star - eventually leading to its destruction. The 2billion-year-old host star, which researchers believe is roughly double the temperature of its nearby planet, will eventually collide with the planet. Researchers hope they can secure time with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to study TOI-2431 b more closely. Doing so could shed more light on the planet's surface composition, and may answer the question of whether or not it has an atmosphere. The $10 billion telescope discovered its first-ever exoplanet just last month, but has been used to analyse others on its journey through space. 5 The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Credit: Alamy 5 An artist's impression of a molten exoplanet Credit: Alamy All you need to know about planets in our solar system Our solar system is made up of nine planets with Earth the third closest to the Sun.
