Brazil's World Cup clash with Scotland in Miami on Tuesday has taken an unlikely turn off the pitch, after Brazilian psychic Vó Bahiana claimed an alien mothership will descend over the stadium and abduct players and fans live on television.
The warning has turned what should have been a routine group-stage fixture into a global sideshow fusing football, TikTok prophecy and UFO folklore. Bahiana, a self-styled spiritualist with more than 24.4 million Instagram followers, has spent days telling her vast online audience that she repeatedly dreamed of an alien invasion targeting the match, and that the vision was too vivid to brush aside.
