Does a video show how multiple laser beams scanned the ground in the instant before the Venezuela earthquakes struck<\/span>? No, that’s not true: One clip in the video was published on TikTok on March 18, 2026, months before earthquakes struck Venezuela on June 24, 2026. The video had already circulated widely with a caption calling it a “converging beam event” before it was recaptioned to associate it with the earthquakes. Additionally, the June 24 quakes struck shortly after 6 p.m. local time when it was still daylight in Venezuela. <\/span><\/p>\n The video resurfaced in a post<\/a> (archived here<\/a>) published by the X account @369Jessica369 on June 28, 2026. It was captioned in Chinese, translated automatically by Grok:<\/p>\n An instant before the Venezuela earthquake struck, multiple laser beams scanned the ground below.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n This is a screenshot from the video which has been formatted to appear like a breaking news story with a “\u00daltima hora” chyron :<\/span><\/p>\n\n
