You're probably looking at the wrong place, route-views tells this:

route-views.oregon-ix.net>sh ip bgp 192.0.32.0/21
BGP routing table entry for 192.0.32.0/21, version 2153568
Paths: (50 available, best #17, table Default-IP-Routing-Table)
....
   701 26711 26711 26711
     157.130.10.233 from 157.130.10.233 (137.39.3.60)
       Origin IGP, localpref 100, valid, external

Perhaps the reason you don't see the route much elsewhere in the 'net 
is because it has been deprefed by AS701 and it isn't therefore 
advertising it out.
