Shadowing a flight seems really far fetched, but I suppose not impossible. I still think they were whale watching 100 feet off the deck on their way to their favourite island destination with a 7000' strip. Mind you this would kill their airspeed/efficiency and their range would not be nearly as far.

As for blips on the radar. Birds can show a return on a radar screen, so erroneous returns do happen.
