Indeed, it seems like human error.

1. To state the obvious, human error on the Internet can cause a
catastrophe. It's not really secure.

2. Why assume human error? I always ask why assume malice?, that does
not deny us the posibility of the oposite.
It sure would be interesting to see what traffic unallocated space gets
beyond some dark matter that floats into honey nets of sorts here and
there.

if you route 127.0.0.0/8 to a host you sometimes get interesting syslog
messages :) (sent to 127.0.0.1 on hosts with loopback misconfig'd or
'down').

At one point I'd seen 'default' advertised on a network suck down 600kpps
... that was 'entertaining'.

If someone _really_ wants the junk addressed to 127/8, they are 
welcome to have it :)

Note they're all unallocated blocks, so probably someone's attempt at 
bogon filtering got leaked inadvertently. Since they're all unallocated 
blocks, it shouldn't have done any harm, and anyone with reasonably 
intelligent routing policies should have blocked those routes anyways. :P

Ah, I believe you're right.  Thanks for clearing it up!  I had looked
up a couple of the prefixes to see if they had owners and I thought I
had seen one, but I must have made a typo.

I like my swimming pool of lava thank you very much :p
