Sometimes people just assign themselves some IP address space, not via 
RIPE/ARIN/APNIC/etc, but just picking a address randomly. The range 
26.26.26.xx looks like such an 'assignment'.

Of course, it's bad habit to just pick a random address and use it 
inside your network, but it happens a lot, especially with rcf1918 
space. It also happens a lot that those addresses can be seen by 
tracerouting..

Hope this clears things up a bit,
