I'm seeing the following announcement:

*  2001:430::/32    3ffe:1ced:ff05::2
                                                           0 22 10566 5594 13193 109 17965 5609 4554 278 6939 2497 5994 i

                                                           0 109 3748 3786 10566 8379 8277 45328 2042 6435 6175 2497 5994 i

                                                           0 1930 10566 5594 13193 109 17965 5609 4554 278 6939 2497 5994 i

                                                           0 6435 6175 10566 5594 13193 109 17965 5609 4554 278 6939 2497 5994 i
*>                  3ffe:81d0:ffff:2::44
                                                           0 6939 3748 3786 10566 8379 8277 45328 2042 6435 6175 2497 5994 i


2001:430::/32 has not been assigned:

[whois.arin.net]
ARIN-001                            2001:0400:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/23
DISN-LES-V6                         2001:0430:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/35

I am pretty sure that if this was legit, I would be seeing it only one or two ASNs into
AS22.

The origin AS5994 is not assigned according to ARIN:


[whois.arin.net]
No match for "5994".

So, can someone tell me why:

1) I'm seeing a prefix that is not assigned yet.
2) I'm seeing it announced from an ASN that is not assigned.
