Strange observation in traffic pattern for a group of keywords

What was the source of the traffic?

Did a popular site mention you?

Did a competitor run an offline campaign you may have benefited from?

Can you ask any of the converted visitors from that time frame how they found your site?

Entire traffic came from Google organic search and the thing is we still have the same position in Google for those keywords (within top 1-2).

I guess I am confused about how come only for one day there was so much traffic and it just tapered off.

Perhaps a popular news site based an article around these keywords which led to people google searching the unpopular phrase and got you some traffic...
