Not sure if you have read this yet but here is an interesting account of some F/A-18 pilots and Navy ships tracking an object by radar and eyes on visual after being deployed to the objects location. What is described is an AAV that is seen and recorded as being able to achieve such movement and speeds.

What Dave didn’t know was for the past several days, Princeton had been picking up some bizarre returns on their Death Star-worthy SPY-1 radar. On several occasions beginning 10 November, the Fire Control Officer and the extremely experienced Fire Control Senior Chief had detected multiple returns descending from far above the radar’s scan volume–somewhere higher than 80,000 ft. The targets, dubbed Anomalous Aerial Vehicles (AAVs), would drop from above 80K to hover roughly 50 feet off the water in a matter of seconds.
