[amsat-bb] LightSail Data?

The packet modems relay on a CRC checksum of the packets to validate the 
data received as a good packet.

In some situations, like yours when a modem is listening a long time, 
the noise can "forge" a "good" packet. This is a statistically proved 
fact, the CRC is not as strong as we wish for this task.

I'm not saying that this is a noise forged packet, but it's a possibility.
