I think this chap has hit the nail on the head.
I was looking through some of the game files , from memory I think it was Airstrike in the cfg folder and I do remember seeing a section related to probability of friendly air strike on contact reports.

So its definatly a posability
If so why has no one reported it till now ?

I tried an experiment over the weekend. I came accross a large task force and had ony two torpedoes left. I fired off the two torpedoes and scored a DD and slipped away. I then radioed in a convoy report and recieved the "Good find will assign assets" message. So I decided to follow the convoy a while.

I followed for a day and a half and nothing happened. Maybe they were scared of it. It was probably the biggest TF Ive seen what with two carriers and some battleships, pretty sure one was a Yamato.
