A few potential explinations are deliberate misdirection intended for actual programs or towards foreign intelligence services, a filing or paperwork mistake, testing the waters for Mass disclosure, or infighting between the Navy releasing information and the Air Force or some other branch that owns the craft and has tested it on Navy latest and greatest assets.

My cynical experience at going through many pseudo science article makes me more inclined to believe that someone is just using Navy's name to fuel a scam.

Maybe someone clueless at the Navy was a tool, or maybe they just got into the zeitgeist that using official positions to pull a scam is the trendy thing to do.
