You have identified the strategy within your post.
Send in helicopters or jets.
It may be in part that there is an attempt to intercept (although probably a futile one) however by having 'our' equipment in the area within minutes means that there is an explanation complete with radar and ATC logs.

Although this is an unexplained curiousity to alot of people, it poses an uncontrolable threat to those who define thier world in terms of challenges to thier authority/power.
As far as TPTB starting something...I'm not worried. If UFO's are real (and I believe they are) they represent a technical capability far beyond anything we have. Even assuming for a moment that Roswell and other's have happened, and that we have back-engineered vehicles from alien technology...there is a tremendous difference between copying something and understanding the fundamentals that make it possible.
We may be able to replicate some alien tech's, but I doubt we would be able to reproduce it all.
As an example, my boy Leo D, designed the modern bicycle hundreds of years ago. It could't be built for centuries however because the materials and manufacturing techniques didn't exist. To go a step further, if someone were to discover a Predator drone crashed in a desert and were to study it and reproduce it...are they developing a tech that can stand up to the full force of the USAF?
I find it disturbing that so much media reporting on this topic has lately been focused on 'ET is coming to get us'. If that were true, we'd be gone already.
The only thing the actions of TPTB accomplish is endangering the lives of the people they send up to intercept these objects. Not that the UFO's pose a threat directly, but 'our' pilots and systems may be negatively affected by close proximity or just striaght up get in the way similar to someone trying to beat a light and getting hit by another driver.
Compared to what is likely 'out there' I think Douglas Adams in his 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' series probably summed Earth and it's inhabitants up the best...
