Is this just some serious lampshading?

There were reports a few months ago of the Falcon 9 rocket that was streaking across the skies causing all sorts of UFO reports, accidents, and people thinking we were under some sort of alien invasion. It was funny and noteworthy enough for even Mr Musk to get his jokes in on Twitter.

On the surface this comes off as a perfect joke given the world we are in right now (like really, I found this rather amusing when it was posted) but I started to wonder if this was just some smart lampshading on Musk's part. By stumbling from one video to the next I found this one below. It highlights what the voiceover claims to be a UFO dismantling a missile mid flight which seemed really cool looking... and somewhat familiar.

What to you think? There are the very subtle differences in how the [for lack of a better word] "haze" appears around the objects but the shapes are pretty uncanny.
