I had a whole load of hastle with this about 2 yr ago, (one of our upstreams is AS701 aswell), where my routers "aparently" announced a /24 at some point which the withdraw got lost deep in UUnet. To fix this temporarily, announce the /24 and then withdraw it (toward UUNET in your case) I think this was happening when I was using IOS10.3 and my config said something like router bgp XXXX network 194.x.y.0 255.255.255.0 network 194.x.0.0 255.255.0.0 summary-only ... And thus the route did get briefly announced and withdrawn by me. I also have some recollection of an IOS bug where withdraws did get lost which was spotted in the AS7007 problem..

Hello..
one of our customers (germany.net, AS6751) is announcing us 151.189.0.0/16. We announce this to our both upstreams ECRC (AS1273) and Ebone (1755).
Since a few days a lot of german ISPs ask us, why 151.189.0.0/24 is routed via UU.net to the USA and then goes back to germany.
