The report, as filed

Me and my mother went out on our back porch for a cigarette. While she was talking to me I could see about 7 lights in a line slowly moving into view. these lights never deviated or changed position making it seem to be 1 craft. My mom could see my face as I thought in my head "If that thing starts moving, I am OUTTA HERE" sure enough as my mom turns around slowly in horror it now starts heading our way. recorded a video and dialogue between my mom and I as well as the craft is captured. craft was a compilation of 7 small lights bundled closely together. craft almost 'waited' for my mom to turn around as well before it started its dance. it would quickly maneuver 3 different directions impossibly before going completely invisible and showing up miles or a mile from last seen area. it did this maybe 5 or 6 times IN 5 or 6 seconds. Moved so quickly even my mother kept saying Why?? lights were pink on outside edges with violet or purple for the inside! 5 lights. its movements defied conventional physics, Newtonian forces would have destroyed anything else attempting that. As scared as i was, i did not want my mom to run inside without me. I explained to my mother that this craft is the united states navy x-37 - using mass reduction drive together with piezoelectric superconducting material (ultrasonic vibrations causing noble gas to ionize) she understandably didn't know what the hell i was talking about. I explained 'Ok, its meant to refill combat planes on the field, needing those movements and maneuvers not just to get around but to evade incoming fire . craft was with us for around 5 minutes now appearing overhead and a mile away in the same second. finally in the video (video shows craft as 1 blurry purple ball) I say 'Oh i think i can hear it, sounds exactly like an airplane' because craft was completely silent the entire time, as i said that i could see a regular commercial airline start to come around from the to! ps of houses. As soon as that happened, this craft became ...e! mbarrass ed? it stopped moving crazy and put itself on a straight trajectory, accelerating instantly but not going too insanely fast it b-lined until it went below horizon. my mother wouldn't go to sleep unless she found something similar online. which she did amazingly, and only based on the movements it was doing in the video were exactly the same speed and velocity as we saw. by 4 am my mother finally went to sleep content with what she saw online and in person that night. still confused, but happy someone else had filmed it. (object did leave a trail once before disappearing, prompting my body to think the ground was moving. I stood up but only that once did it seem to bounce and leave a trail)
