Here's the answer (thanks to Daehwan from the HISAT2 team):
CATCTTGTTTCACACTAGTCACATTCTTGTTTTAAGTGCCTTTAGTTTTAACAGTTCACTTTTTACAGTACTATTT is the reverse complement of AAATAGTACTGTAAAAAGTGAACTGTTAAAACTAAAGGCACTTAAAACAAGAATGTGACTAGTGTGAAACAAGATG, which is read 1 of HISEQ:287:CCK1AANXX:5:2307:14574:99798.

HISAT2: a surprising read shows up in alignment results
I was spot-checking the output of alignment results from HISAT2 and noticed one read (CATCTTGTTTCACACTAGTCACATTCTTGTTTTAAGTGCCTTTAGTTTTAACAGTTCACTTTTTACAGTACTATTT shown below) that does not exist in my input fastq files. Is this the result of a bug or am I missing anything?
$ hisat2 -p 40 -x hg19/genome -1 read1.fq.gz -2 read2.fq.gz 2>/dev/null | grep CATCTTGTTTCACACTAGTCACATTCTTGTTTTAAGTGCCTTTAGTTTTAACAGTTCACTTTTTACAGTACTATTT

The other two entries in the sam output with read name of HISEQ:287:CCK1AANXX:5:2307:14574:99798 are from my input fastq files as expected (a read pair).
I appreciate any comments. Thanks!
