Dutch researcher sparks controversy with accurate predictions about Taiwan earthquakes

The predictions of Dutch researcher Frank Hoogerbeets regarding seismic activity in Taiwan have come true, reigniting a contentious debate surrounding his theories linking planetary movements to earthquakes.

In the early hours of Saturday, Taiwan experienced a series of earthquakes, with at least 10 recorded by the Central Weather Bureau. A magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck off the coast of eastern Taiwan’s Hualien County at 2:21 a.m. Saturday, according to the Central Weather Administration (CWA).

This event coincided with Hoogerbeets’ earlier warning, posted on his “X” account the preceding day, Friday.

Following the initial quake, a flurry of aftershocks occurred, followed by another significant earthquake at 2:49 AM inland, approximately 40 kilometers from Hualien on the eastern coast. The Central Weather Bureau reported a total of 10 tremors of varying intensities on the island after midnight on Friday/Saturday.

In his recent tweets, Hoogerbeets highlighted new planetary alignments and movements that he believed could trigger further seismic activity in Taiwan and its surroundings within the next two days. He specifically mentioned the potential for a strong quake on April 27/28.

Hoogerbeets commented on the image on his “X” platform , saying, “Obvious clustering of stronger tremors (M ≥ 5.6) occurred with the planetary geometry (purple/red peaks) in the forecast period. The high lunar peak (green) yesterday can result in a strong shake 27/28 April. A new video will be posted later today.”
