What Just Flew Past The Sun?
I saw this and immediately thought of all the times Star Trek clipped a star (The klingon civil war, Worfs brother does it, Picard does it a couple times, STNG a couple episodes where they went close to a star as a main theme, Kirk uses 3 times to go back and forward in time). So, maybe it was just the Federation coming for a visit? Also a Fox News Interview where Tucker basically says UFOs are now legitimate and they discuss the OHare Airport sighting from a few years ago and the lack of anyone wanting to even admit it happened (except for the 40-50 people who saw it).

A better series in my opinion is John Ringo's "Troy Rising" series.
His work with Timothy Zahn is a little better (probably because Zahn is great at twists and turns of plot) and his cooperative efforts with female writers are the worst.
As to the other things? Government? the NWO creatures, (which a like Aliens of the 3rd kind). They can project just about anything in the sky AND give it solidity!
As to the more strange stuff...I'd put a sign on each of our satellites stating: Warning! Enter at your own risk.
