This record is considered not to come from an actual earthquake. It could be due to some other (unknown) event causing tremors, such as weather conditions, sonic booms. In other cases, officially reported earthquakes are sometimes suppressed later.
This can happen if the initial automatic calculations return an earthquake, but prove to be wrong on the subsequent (manual) revision.
The initial report is below:
Although our monitoring service initially detected network activity typical of an earthquake, there has been no confirmation by a national or international seismological agency. For this reason, it is highly unlikely that it was caused by an earthquake.

You can use your device’s location or the map to show where you were during the earthquake. Thank you!
Data for the same earthquake reported by different agencies
Info: The more agencies report the same earthquake and publish similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data. It normally takes up to a few hours for the earthquake parameters to be calculated with near optimum accuracy.
