ANOTHER YEAR IS ending and a new one beginning. (Seems like it happens every year, doesn't it?) But what will the new year bring? Can you foresee it? What changes, surprises, tragedies and wonders will unfold? Can you sense what's going to happen in 2010, for the U.S. or on the world stage? Whether you're clairvoyant, a sharp observer of the times, or just a good guesser, we want to know what you predict is going to happen in 2010.
Every year around this time we invite readers to submit their best predictions for the coming year. There are five categories:
- Best World or National (U.S.) Event
- Worst World or National (U.S.) Event
- Greatest Scientific Discovery or Invention
- Most Surprising Paranormal Event
- Awards Predictions (Oscars/Grammies/Nobel Prize)
You may submit predictions for any or all of these categories, but please keep it to just one or two predictions for each category. And keep in mind that these are predictions for 2010 only, not for events beyond that.
There are two ways you can submit your predictions. You can go to our Paranormal Forum (where this tradition began), and post them there. Just go to the "Your Predictions for 2010" section of the Paranormal Phenomena Forum and REPLY with your predictions. Or you can simply e-mail them to me at: paranormal@about.com
The deadline is a short one, I'm afraid. All predictions must be posted or e-mailed by December 31, 2009. That gives you a few weeks in which to gaze into your crystal ball, read your tea leaves, consult your magic mirror on the wall, or whatever you do. I will publish the most interesting predictions in an article sometime in January, 2010. Because I receive so many predictions, there is no guarantee that I'll use yours; I certainly cannot publish all of them. So make them your very best and most significant predictions.
2009 PREDICTIONS
We need to do better for 2010 than we did for 2009. Unfortunately, there weren't many correct or accurate predictions last year. You can read all the highlights in the "Predictions for 2009" article. Here are a few that might be considered hits:
- People will have a growing concern of global warming, economic failure. (Granted, that was a pretty safe bet.)
- I think that there will be another terrorist attempt that will fail. (There were a few discovered plots that were foiled.)
That's about all I could find. And of course there were some spectacular misses:
- Universal health care in the USA.
- Another major hurricane hit the south Texas coast costing more than Katrina and Rita.
- A new faith will sweep the globe and many people will heal themselves.
- Deaths of O.J. Simpson and Prince Philip.
- NASA will be more forthcoming about their knowledge of UFOs.
We can do better! I know we have many psychic readers out there. Focus, concentrate, peer into the future and tell us what's in store for us in 2010. We like to be prepared.
