Default Long Strings of Gibberish in G Analytics Keyword Report?

I've wondered this for a while but have never really researched it. Does anyone know why there are long strings of gibberish in the Google analytics keyword report? For instance, one of the sites I monitored shows 5 visitors for the following search string:

"f400e79a3fb22a7ba7a7eef1e7b05972c03c484eb9403 d07"

I have 5 visits in my Google Analytics from-

Another 5 from -

I think those are "alien" hits

Really though, I have seen those too. Could they be from people clicking on your Google cache?
