British UFO investigator and filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee has made a startling prediction: extraterrestrial beings could make their first official appearance to humanity in the summer of 2026, during one of the final matches of the FIFA World Cup hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Lee bases his forecast on a detailed analysis of ancient prophecies combined with recent surges in UFO sightings.

He points specifically to the blind Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga, who reportedly foresaw humanity’s first contact with aliens in late 2026 during a massive global gathering – a timeline that aligns perfectly with the World Cup final scheduled for July 19, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Connections to Nostradamus Prophecies

The researcher also draws parallels with the quatrains of Nostradamus, interpreting references to “invasions from the sky,” devastating wars lasting 27 years, catastrophic floods, and the collapse of established powers.

These ominous visions, according to Lee, mirror current geopolitical tensions, increased UFO activity, and official government reports on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).

Mark Christopher Lee, known for documentaries such as “God Versus Aliens,” “The Rendlesham UFO: The British Roswell,” and “The King of UFOs,” emphasizes that the sharp rise in sightings, declassified U.S. documents, and whistleblower statements all point toward an impending alien disclosure.

He urges world leaders to prepare for potentially transformative – and chaotic – changes, including conflicts, natural disasters, and groundbreaking technological shifts.

Why the World Cup?

The 2026 tournament will be the largest in history: 48 teams, games across three countries, and billions of viewers worldwide.

If extraterrestrials seek maximum global attention, no event offers a bigger stage. Lee warns that such a revelation could trigger the chain of upheaval described in the prophecies of Vanga and Nostradamus.

While skeptics dismiss these claims as speculation, the growing mainstream interest in UFOs – including Pentagon reports and U.S. congressional hearings – lends credibility to Lee’s warnings.
