Looking at one log, the most persistant announcer of bogon space is AS 4554 (Bill Manning), Net 39.0.0.0/8. I don't know Mr. Manning's intentions, malicious or otherwise.as has been stated on this list several times over the past few years... net 39 was left in my care by my previous boss.
The Cymru Team lists 39.0.0.0/8 as a bogon. Its a serious problem. Over the last two decades, records of address assignments have been lost. Yes, its just a 32-bit number (or 16-bit number or 128-bit number). A missing registry record doesn't cause a problem, unless someone starts blackholing routes or reusing addresses. While I think many of the bogons are mistakes, and some are due to malicious activity; we need to recognize the limitations of our data sources. If people are going to start blackholing previously allocated address space, or sub-delegations, our data isn't that great. As the saying goes, you can't prove a negative. We can confirm a positive registration.
