A number of people have looked into this story, and it appears now to be a hoax. No one can find an astronomer by the name of Craig Kasnov at SETI, and a thread I saw over at Godlike Productions claims that the "objects" are artifacts of defects on the film of photos taken of that sector of space 20 years ago.
Furthermore, a fellow claiming the name of Craig Kasnoff (not Kasnov) has chimed in, saying that he:
1) is associated with the Seti@home site;
2) is not an astronomer or astrophysicist;
3) did not make any claim concerning approaching objects.
I'm beginning to think that the "Examiner" site may be a disinformation project. This isn't the first dodgy thing they've printed.
Sorry for getting everybody all worked up.
