Thats not usually how exercises work. Ive been guard on a live firing range for f18s, usually there is a designated target, the area is cleared for everything and the pilots are thoroughly briefed enough to know when and where and at what they are firing. The shooting range is kept under guard and the guards are contacted before the approach to make sure no one has tried entering...
I'm more inclined to believe that there actually was a glitch/accident aboard, either that or the most incompetent pilot in the world.

About the only question that matters is if they were in the operations zone. If they were, claiming the missile misfired is probably their way of not calling the journalists complete retards. If not, I'm not surprised the military isn't openly admitting they fucked up.
