Is someone trying to hack the system or what? Someone is trying to use SIP or similar software through your proxy. A transparently intercepting proxy may expect to see that nowdays as more non-HTTP software are using the only unblocked port available. If you don't use interception, then the client may be broken or your squid may need to use extension_methods for them.
