Frank Hoogerbeets, a Dutch seismologist known for his controversial predictions, has issued a warning for a possible significant seismic event expected to occur between April 11 and 13. The specific location of the predicted earthquake remains unspecified.

Hoogerbeets, who leads the Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), shared the warning through his account on “X” (formerly Twitter), highlighting the research institute’s focus on the celestial bodies’ spatial relationships and their impact on Earth’s seismic activity. According to the institute’s advisory, the proximate alignment of four planetary conjunctions from April 9 to 11 may trigger significant seismic activity approximately between April 11 and 13.

This warning follows a recent earthquake near Taiwan, measuring a magnitude of 7 on the Richter scale, which led authorities in Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines to issue tsunami warnings for coastal areas. The earthquake, the strongest to hit the island in 25 years, underscores the potential severity of the seismic events Hoogerbeets’s predictions aim to forewarn.
Hoogerbeets’s predictions, often disseminated through social media, have gained widespread attention, sparking global concern over anticipated strong earthquakes linked to planetary alignments and their supposed “critical geometry” affecting Earth. Despite Hoogerbeets’s firm defense of his theory, the scientific community maintains that there is no scientific basis or method to predict earthquakes before they occur, nor is there evidence to support the influence of planetary alignments on seismic activities on Earth.
