He wants to set the record straight
A man known as the living Nostradamus has hit back at critics, claiming that four of his predictions for the year have already come true.
Athos Salomé told the Daily Star he is ‘not seeking praise’ or ‘unnecessary personal accolades’ but he wants public validation of his realised visions.
Salomé said: “I have noticed that, on several occasions, my predictions are appropriated by other individuals (not clairvoyants or paranormal experts) who present themselves as the originators of these ideas.”
At the end of last year, he predicted that an asteroid would hit the Earth in 2024, a prediction which is yet to come true.
He said: “Unfortunately, many people doubted and mocked this prediction.
“On 28 July this year, I posted a video in my Instagram stories again about the asteroid, predicting that NASA would make an announcement in September, confirming that the asteroid would enter a collision course with Earth by November.
“My predictions are not coincidences. They are grounded and come true.”
However, NASA has now confirmed that its ear-Earth Object Observations Programme has been monitoring a huge asteroid dubbed ‘God of Chaos’. It’s expected to brush past us at a mere 620,000 miles away on Sunday.
It isn’t the only asteroid prediction he has made. He also predicted an asteroid ‘abundant in rich materials’ that would trigger a new space race.
He said: “In September of 2024, an asteroid unexpected by NASA, approximately one metre in diameter, disintegrated in the atmosphere over the Philippines, taking everyone by surprise, highlighting advances in the ability to monitor small celestial bodies close to Earth.
“Although the event didn’t pose a threat, the growing attention to space objects reflects my prediction of a new era of space exploration and competition. This race to discover cosmic secrets could easily turn into an arena of geopolitical rivalry, as I predicted.”
Salomé also made predictions about the severity of natural disasters, particularly destructive typhoons affecting Asia.

He said that those most affected would include the Philippines, Vietnam and some areas of China.
He said: “In September of 2024 real events supported these expectations with typhoon Yagi, which affected and brought a large amount of damages to these parts of the world.
“The typhoon had winds in excess of 93mph causing devastating floods and landslides with casualties and major destruction of structures. I said that more and worse cases of the event would occur, and going by the observed natural disasters this year, I was right.
“The increase of these events deepens the discussion on climate change and the poor readiness of countries for the consequences of climate change.”
He also predicted that World War 3 was an ‘urgent reality’ but said it would not be sparked by events in Ukraine or Gaza but in the South China Sea instead, due to ‘some surprise event or a catastrophic cyber strike’.
He said: “This was prophetic and in 2024 it became so real when the prediction was made. This regional tension is a reflection of my words and brings out the point that territorial issues are a reason for big world wars.
“As China ramps up its military build-up and as all the military muscles flex in the Pacific by the United States and its allies the situation is getting more and more ‘volatile’ in Athos’ terms closer to the vision of a world poised on the edge of catastrophic war.”
Back in February, he told the Daily Star that advances in technology would allow users to go into a different dimension in addition to augmented and virtual reality applications.
He believes he was right with the release of Hauntify, a mixed-reality app that appeals to a user’s ‘fear sensors to create a paranormal experience’.
“Hauntify is an excellent example of the real-to-virtual experience, which allows users to get into places with something of the spooky world. Using camera and microphone, this app makes apparent that one is merely pretending to be spiritual which gives a combo of humour and technology experience,” he said.
However, many still doubt the man’s predictions with one person commenting on social media: “He couldn’t predict the weather if he was looking out the window.”
