Recently, the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves
(NANOGrav) claimed the detection of a stochastic common-spectrum process of the
pulsar timing array (PTA) time residuals from their 12.5 year data, which might
be the first detection of the stochastic background of gravitational waves
(GWs). We show that the amplitude and the power index of such waves imply that
they could be the secondary GWs induced by the peaked curvature perturbation
with a dust-like post inflationary era with $-0.091lesssim wlesssim0.048$.
Such stochastic background of GWs naturally predicts substantial existence of
planet-mass primordial black holes (PBHs), which can be the lensing objects for
the ultrashort-timescale microlensing events observed by the Optical
Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE).
