Most likely machines looking for DHCP servers. They use 0.0.0.0 as a
source address during the discover phase. I've also frequently seen
broken packets with source addresses in the 1-net coming in from the
Internet.

Local broadcasts (255.255.255.255) are going to fall into this
range. Other than that, there really shouldn't be much going on up
there in the Class E range.

You're logging these, so you should see some of them. I assume this is
the default deny catching _everything_ that doesn't pass. There is
undoubtably a _lot_ of different stuff going on in here.
