Yes actually they claim to have shot down one a few months back... that also belonged to the U.S. http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/?p=7426

In any case, all of these cases are either fake, natural phenomenon, man made crafts like experimental planes, spy planes or rocket exhaust which can be seen from great distances under proper atmospheric conditions.

Some people desperately want to believe that there are UFO's roaming around here so they get fooled by these sightings. There may be life elsewhere in the universe but there is no credible evidence of this till now.
