It's no secret! Providing that Tools | Options... | Load/Save | 
General | Save | Save AutoRecovery information every ... Minutes is 
ticked, OpenOffice regularly but quietly salts away information about 
the current editing session. Normally, this information is purged 
when the active document is closed. If OpenOffice fails for any 
reason (hardware problem? software glitch? user malpractice?), the 
saved information is not deleted. This is detected the next time 
OpenOffice is started and the offer described above - to attempt 
OpenOffice Document Recovery, here on the document file "2017DP 
Consultation Response" - is made. If the recovery is successful, a 
version of the document is presented and the user can decide whether 
to save it instead of or as well as the original file - whatever 
condition that is in. If the recovery is not successful, the offer 
will be repeated each time OpenOffice is started. The solution in 
this case is simple: to decline the recovery process once.

Strangely, the manuals suggest that this facility saves the current 
state of documents over the originals - as if File | Save were being 
used at regular intervals. But that is not the case (and would be 
unhelpful anyway). The built-in help is somewhat clearer on the subject.

Oh, it surely does! (And the rest of us know what the cause is.)
