    I am not making this stuff up.

    I only stumbled upon this because I am looking to see if any one reported a quake out in the North Pacific that struck days before the 6.5 in Nevada. I could see what was about to happen their and then was waiting for the precursor event. My guess is a 5.0-6.0 struck around 2020-05-09 2900km/1800mls west of the Nevada 6.5 somewhere near here 39°29’23.46″N 151°23’39.18″W.

    Observed: M 5.9 208km/139mls east of Prince George Canada 2020-05-16 13:37:52 UTC53.8282° N 119.575° W 9.1 km Depth

    Comments: These links show that stations reporting on this event. The top two stations are the closest COR (Corvallis Oregon, USA) and FFC (Flin Flon, CAN – great name by the way).

    I went to look at local news agencies in Canada and Facebook, to see if there are any first hand reports, just discussion about why the USGS deleted this event. None found. “The game is afoot!”

    No… your not making this up !

    M 5.9 somewhere near Cashe, Canada appeared on the USGS map at 13:55 UTC. I had just reached for my pen to log details, and it disappeared in front of my eyes within 30 seconds of appearing. Same event never appeared on EMSC site, so I assumed someone was a little trigger happy after Nevada, and made a mistake.

    Realistically, what purpose would it serve to deny the event ever took place ?

    The USGS might and could appear to be perhaps setting and agenda of some sort, difficult to see and all of that. Generally I could see a quake being adjusted in location or strength or depth semi-often. But to take 20+ seismographs and say it is not worth reporting for a 4.5+, is a little strange. Also I am on the trail of some alternative sources of seismic data…more to come.

    Lester, thank you. I did find some data about it. If you review my first link to IRIS, it shows 152 stations reporting the event. And they reported a specific depth of 9.1KM not the generic 10KM.
