It is most likely some competitor running a link check or content scrape hosted on an Amazon IP.

The DNS server is Amazon AWS which is the biggest server farm in the world - so the traffic isn't human.
The reverse DNS shows that this IP is for duckduckbot.duckduckgo.com
So the most likely thing is that you are being hit by a bot from the duckduckgo search engine.
