A VAN‐prediction was announced on January 6, 1991, through the French newspaper “Le Monde” and on January 8–10, 1991, through Greek newspapers and TV stations. We evaluate this prediction on the basis of a letter which was sent by Prof. Varotsos (without date) to the Greek Minister of Public Works, and by considering previous VAN‐publications as well as recent seismological data for the candidate regions. We conclude that what was observed at ASS station (northern Greece) on December 31, 1990, was not SES‐activity but another disturbance or noise.
