We discovered a bug in the XAcars pirep scripts that unfortunately caused false distance reports. This bug was only introduced last month, when I tried to fix another distance bug with pilots who briefly lost their internet connection. Due to a bad workaround it now recorded your longest distance and never forgot that, so all subsequent (shorter) flights had that same distance.
It is fixed now and will hopefully not happen again. However, I can not correct those faulty distances in past records. It didn't affect your points, though, because the calculation of points does only consider flight time, not distance.
Sorry for the trouble and thanks to Heinz Andersen who pointed me to this bug.
