Here is a little insight:
If there is an event that "vanishes" or "is being withheld from the public" you might want to do a couple of things before jumping to the
conspiracy conclusion:
1) Look at the USGS pages for Global Earthquakes. If there is an event somewhere in the world within ~30 minutes before then the earthquake is a
"false alarm". Meaning that the teleseismic waves triggered the automatic system and made it through the systems teleseism filter.
2) Find webicorders for the Montana region. The seis.utah.edu webicorders for MCID should show something fairly large. In fact for a 3.2 there should
be some coherent signal on most of the UUSS webicorders.
3) Use logic, not paranoia. The scientific community would not allow valuable data like a 3.2 ANYWHERE to just go missing.
4) There is also a site www.iris.edu that has many interesting links and you can access any station data for as long as that data was made available
to IRIS.

as quickly as it started it stops. Look forward to a paper being written by the Yellowstone Volcanic Observatory in the next couple of years showing
any minute uplift or change in the hydrothermal system|
