This amazing piece of footage is believed to have originated from somewhere in New Mexico and it is thought to have been shot sometime during 1997. The lenticular craft, surrounded by a glowing plasma, can be seen pancaking into the New Mexico desert, where it bounces up into the air after impact, leaving a huge cloud of dust. Prior to impact, its trajectory changes intelligently as it tries to avoid impact. Right after impact, the intensity of the plasma increases immensely as more power is applied. After impact, the leading edge rises too much, indicating loss of control. It then skips through the air, passing a couple of telegraph poles, and hits the ground again, where it disintegrates into a huge shower of glowing debris. Unfortunately the quality of the clip is poor but it is worth a look all the same. Could it be test flight footage from White Sands perhaps?
