[Bro] Conn log shows massive file transfer inbetween normal browsing

I'm having some anomalies in my conn.log.

Scenario:

Internal host on my network (10.10.10.10) is browsing autotrader (20.20.20.20)

Inbetween normal bro logs for the related traffic, I have things like this showing up:

// conn.log
1524177777.577777	Ccq8hi7x7jIegYyKE7	10.10.10.10	63971	20.20.20.20	443	tcp	-	0.015780	1284714853	0	S0	T	F	0	Sa	1	48	1	44	(empty)


As I'm reading this, it shows my internal host sent ~1.2gigs of data in .015 seconds to this external host.

S0 for the conn_state "Connection attempt seen, no reply."


So bro thinks my host tried to send 1.2 gigs off-site but failed? (there are many more similar log entries for the same host)

Any ideas what can cause this?

Thanks,
Eric
