Brazilian psychic Vó Baiana has blamed 'fake news' and misinterpretation after her viral warning that an alien craft would descend on Brazil's World Cup match against Scotland on 24 June failed to materialise, leaving fans in both countries asking the same question: where was the alien she had foretold.
The 59‑year‑old medium, whose real name is Ana Tércia da Silva Gonçalves, shot to global attention days before the game when she went public with a recurring dream in which extraterrestrials and reptilian beings touched down and abducted players from Brazil's national team mid‑match. The clip, shared widely on social media, sparked an explosion of AI‑generated images, conspiracy threads and breathless speculation that something otherworldly might interrupt Brazil's World Cup campaign.
