The associated quake IDs were pt16149050 and us20005yqp. A short time later the quake with ID pt16149050 disappeared from the feed and was instead listed as an alternate quake ID in the ids property for us20005yqp. </div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">Can you tell us anything about what caused this, and what the proper terminology is for such occurrences? For example, is this what you would call a “ghost” event?</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">Also, is there an errata associated with the real time feeds where we can verify any mistaken events that may have been reported and withdrawn? I couldn’t find anything on <a href="http://earthquake.usgs.gov">earthquake.usgs.gov</a> about that particular quake pt16149050 being in error.</div><div class="bloop_container"><div class="bloop_frame"> </div></div><div><br></div>Thanks in advance!<div><br></div><div>Kind regards,</div><div>James<br><div id="bloop_sign_1464447954664779008" class="bloop_sign"><div style="font-family:helvetica,arial;font-size:13px"><br><div>James Richards<br>Artisan Global LLC</div><div><a href="mailto:james@artisanglobal.com">james@artisanglobal.com</a></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></body></html>
