Seems that the Soviets launched a new satellite, the 
Earth Radar Monitor (ERM).  This device captures
information describing exact locations of all radar
bases on earth.  Clearly if the Soviets had this information
they would be all set to invade, as they could preemptively
strike all radar bases.
Unfortunately, the satellite with said vital information
fell to earth.  The Soviets dispatched a destroyer to pick
it up, but the Americans sent a helicopter which got there
first, lassoed the satellite and returned it to the U.S.

This just goes to show that the whirlybird catches the ERM.

Yours in humor(?)
