Bug or Feature?

Many instances today where only scouts would appear (this isn't my question). However, I did finally make it to a few instances that didn't do that and interceptors appeared. The thing is, under heavy withering fire, they put their petals back and spin rapidly. Open a black cloud portal and POOF through it.

Is that a bug or feature?

Another one had invisible impervious interceptors, pretty sure that was a bug.
 
Not sure about your specific circumstances but with regards to the spinning thing: it's part of their jumping out animation.
Before all this horrible war business kicked off when you used to find thargoids in non-human signal sources and they were non-aggressive, their usual behaviour was to scan a few things then spin-up and jump out of the instance. If you started attacking them just after they started to spin, they would sometimes abort leaving and engage you but it was a bad idea because you'd get roughly halfway through the fight and suddenly poof - the interceptor would instantly disappear into a portal right in the middle of battle, leaving you to wonder why you just wasted all that ammo.
