Temporary record skipping

So I was playing a record that I've played many times with no problem, The Wonderful Sounds of Female Vocals, a compilation by Michael Fremer. Both music and production on all the cuts is exquisite. Yet on the last track of the third side, I heard a skip. It repeated about three times and then moved on. I was shocked because my records are clean and very well protected. I pressed a record stylus brush with very short stiff bristles against the grooves as it spun on my turntable. This procedure solved the problem and the track played with no skips.

But why did it develop a skip in the first place? Since I've had this happen on several new and pristine records I'm very concerned. My Sota turntable has a dust cover so leaving a record on the turntable should not cause any sort of dust or contamination to settle upon it. And what sort of airborne contamination would lock into a groove so strongly as to cause a skip? Stylus is clean, too.
