Looks like the current news cycle is mostly pushing fanfare; everybody loves a good Alien story. It seems like the pentagon and US officials are also eager to hint that it's extra terrestrial activity - In reality it's most likely US-China relations going sour and each country shooting down the others super-secret not-so-secret-now spy drones. In a couple of decades when we have the declassified info available we'll be marvelling at how the second cold war was going on right under our noses and the pentagon convinced us it was aliens.

Others have mentioned this too but it would be funny in a sad clown sort of way if an alien species showed up to invade but were completely outmatched with respect to weapons. Like they never anticipated encountering life that spent all of its evolutionary budget on perfecting the means to destroy life.
