I think it's more coincidental than ironic, but I could be wrong

It has been testified to by countless (hundreds in fact) military officials and government authorities. The Air Force itself admitted that many craft sighted were not it's own even though they performed extremely complex aeronautical maneuevers. Please go here [disclosureproject.org] or here [ufoevidence.org], or here [cufos.org] if you would like to do further reading.
In case there is any question, no I am not wearing a tinfoil hat. Yes I am an aerospace engineer.

Also coincidental, the Psycho star Janet Leigh that died today was also 77.
