There's a slim chance it could be some kind of unidentified bot, but it'll probably turn up in referrers sooner or later. I don't know why but they do seem to lag.

I'd love to think I'm being mentioned on mass media outlets but very highly unlikely. Any chance it could be a bot or do all bots come in through referrers?

But it could also be a media mention: newspaper, tv, or radio. That typically drives no-referrer traffic to your home page.

Any possible explanations?
