Maybe (probably?) it did seem crazy, but the officers sought verification from the system and seemed to get it. They were probably unaware that there was an airliner in their vicinity, as it had been incorrectly tagged as an F-14. I don't know where the actual F-14 was, but quite possibly nowhere in the vicinity of the ship.
