I had almost the same signature today. Weird packets attempted to leave
the internal network having spoofed IP source address but were dropped by
the firewall, so no DNS-related traffic was triggered. Anyhow my logs
show:

first series of
0.0.0.0,68 -> 255.255.255.255,67 PR udp len 20 328 
(looks like BOOTP) 

then
169.254.65.154,138 -> 169.254.255.255,138 PR udp len 20 205
169.254.65.154,137 -> 169.254.255.255,137 PR udp len 20 78
alternating, then a long series of
169.254.65.154,137 -> 169.254.255.255,137 PR udp len 20 78
(please note same subnet numbers as in the letter above!)

once immediately after BOOTP-like packets I got:
169.254.65.154 -> 224.0.0.2 PR icmp len 20 28 icmp 10/0
(multicast ?!)

First series at 11:41 - 11:43 c.e.t., BOOTP queries repeated 11:46 -
13:29, second series at 13:31, third at 13:35. 

That looks like a DDOS attempt but I don't like two things:
1 - too few packets to 169.254.255.255
2 - I don't know what could have triggered it since no traffic is allowed
inside the network (statefull firewalling). 

169.254.0.0 is assigned to IANA according to ARIN WHOIS.
