I can't give you a NOC contact, but I can perhaps fill in some of the
routing history of the situation.
Using GRADUS (http://gradus.renesys.com), I identified the networks from
your description (hopefully the right ones :), looked into the patterns of
advertisement, and reconstructed the timeline (all times GMT).
None of these blackholing more-specifics were being advertised before
19th November 2002. The sequencing of events suggests to me that all six
networks "belong to" and are being managed by a single organization.
Someone from BBN may be able to shed more light regarding the "ownership"
of the 157.237.137.0/24 subnet.

First route. Genuity starts originating 157.237.137.0/24, and
continues to do so for 51 days.
22 Nov 2002 (18:11)
Supernet starts originating 157.237.200.0/22.
02 Dec 2002 (20:03)
Supernet starts advertising 157.237.141.0/24.
10 Jan 2003 (01:04)
Supernet starts originating 157.237.142.0/24.
10 Jan 2003 (17:00)
Genuity abruptly stops originating 157.237.137.0/24, leaving
them providerless.
10 Jan 2003 (20:12)
Supernet takes over origination of 157.237.137.0/24 as well.
15 Jan 2003 (13:26)
Supernet starts originating 157.237.143.0/24 and 157.237.144.0/24
together.
20 Jan 2003 (23:34)
Your customer starts advertising the full legacy B space (157.237.0.0/16),
single-homed out of AS26797. It has not been routable to this point.
22 Jan 2003 (17:00)
AS2116 starts advertising the /16 as well. SuperNet is now blackholing
your customer by advertising the six more-specifics.
Good luck,
