I do agree this is a stupid announcement that can't fool a young kid.

 

I guess the US officials are whom targetting or planning for some future action in the area, and they need to initiate a sort of public opinion towards a certain issue or distract the public away from a certain plan they intend to do.

 

This is a known political trick that some countries used to do. For example creating an  incident somewhere in the world so all the news focuses in the event , meanwhile they go into a pre-planned action somewhere else where no one is looking at.
