Nostradamus Predictions That Actually Came True

“From the sky will come a great fire and flame, carried by a new ship. The people will be struck with terror, as death comes in a flash.” This quatrain is frequently linked to the Challenger disaster.

On January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart just 73 seconds after liftoff, killing all seven astronauts aboard. The explosion was broadcast live on television and shocked millions around the world. Nostradamus’s description of a fiery disaster from the sky fits closely with the tragedy of that day.
