There's even more in the 2002 updated version, which I had the link to somewhere but can't find right this second.
"They" are here.
Here is one of the mentions and its in the highest priorty section:
3.3.2. PINNACLE NUCFLASH (OPREP-3PNF) reports the actual or possible detonation of a nuclear weapon which risks the outbreak of nuclear war. This report has the highest precedence in the OPREP-3 reporting structure. Report any of the following:
Accidental, unauthorized, or unexplained nuclear detonation or possible detonation.
Accidental or unauthorized launch of a nuclear-armed or nuclear-capable missile in the direction of, or having the capability to reach another nuclear-capable country.
Unauthorized flight of, or deviation from, an approved flight plan by a nuclear armed or nuclear-capable aircraft with the capability to penetrate the airspace of another nuclear-capable country.
Detection of unidentified objects by a missile warning system or interference (experienced by such a system or related communications) that appears threatening and could create a risk of nuclear war.

Did you consider the fact that enemy crafts can also be unidentified objects if they decide to attack and invade US airspace? Kind of short-sighted if you ask me to say that they're talking about aliens..
