The wisp of smoke is a wisp of smoke, nothing more important than that. If something living in hyperspace bothers you...good, it should. The Psi Corps article is in frame for a reason. Yes, we sometimes put additional or important information in the background, but I don't think we can be fair and assume that everyone sees it, so if you don't see it in one place, it's stated out loud later on...the background stuff is to give the alert viewer a fighting chance to guess some stuff BEFORE it happens; when stuff DOES finally happen, all the required information is supplied at that time.
