=== 2008: Greece (VAN) ===
After 2006, VAN claim that all alarms related to SES activity have been made public by posting at [[arxiv.org]]. Such SES activity is evaluated using a new method they call 'natural time'. One such report was posted on Feb. 1, 2008, two weeks before the strongest earthquake in Greece during the period 1983–2011. This earthquake occurred on February 14, 2008, with magnitude (Mw) 6.9. VAN's report was also described in an article in the [[Ethnos (newspaper)|newspaper ''Ethnos'']] on Feb. 10, 2008.<ref>{{Harvnb|Apostolidis|2008}}; {{Harvnb|Uyeda|Kamogawa|2008}}; {{Harvnb|Chouliaras|2009}}; Uyeda 2010.{{full citation needed|date=May 2020}}</ref> However, Gerassimos Papadopoulos commented that the VAN reports were confusing and ambiguous, and that "none of the claims for successful VAN predictions is justified."<ref>{{Harvnb|Papadopoulos|2010}}.</ref> A reply to this comment, which insisted on the prediction's accuracy, was published in the same issue.<ref>{{Harvnb|Uyeda|Kamogawa|2010}}</ref>
