I don't have the link, but I noticed last night that Phil Plait, of the Bad Astronomy blog fame (now located at Discover Magazine) had written a brief post on this, which doesn't contain much details.

People all over the world fail to identify flying objects, but it hardly means that they come from space... or are alien...

The US itself has spy drones that investigate for the military, so there is no reason whatever to imagine that other countries do not have them and have not experimented with knocking out missile defences with them ...

It's the Annunaki Special Forces probing our defenses in preparation for their return in 2012...

Luckily when the aliens attempt to invade we will be able to escape through the Stargate.

On a sad note Don Davies, the guy who played General Hammond on Stargate, died a couple weeks ago, heart attack, only 65

They had a good one on British TV about ten years ago - a documentary, featuring Roger Moore as the front man, in which they claimed to have detailed evidence that the Soviet Union had developed machines capable of emitting "depression waves" which they were planning to install in satellites and beam down onto America ... just before the Soviet Union collapsed. As a consequence of the chaos caused by the collapse of Communism the machines had fallen into the hands of Terrorists and the Russian mafia. They brought on senior Russian and American military and intelligence personel, etc., and kept it up for the whole 40 minutes ... providing step-by-step proof that what they were talking about was actually true.

It ended without the audience being enlightened to the fact what they had been watching was total fiction.

British TV has done things like this a number of times ... I presume America is no different.
