Observed Thargoid behavior I have never heard of before

I searched and haven't found any reports or videos of what I'm about to descibe.

If this is already known, my apologies.

If this is new, is there somewhere I can report it? I went to the Canonn site and couldn't find where to submit a report.

I was in Musca Dark Region PJ-P b6-1. I had just visited Geological Survey 23B on the third planet. I was trying to jump to HIP 62154 to go to Fort Xeno for repairs, reload and turn in data. My cargo was 1 Agri-Medicine(brought with in attempt to communicate, maybe they needed heals?), 1 Occupied Escape Pod (from crashed SRV) and 1 H.E. Suits (from crashed SRV).

Krait Phantom - slightly engineered. Guardian Frameshift Drive Booster is the only Guardian tech onboard. Multi-cannons for self defense against NPC gankers. Xeno Scanner.

I totally forgot to try the FSS and DSS.

So, I jump out from Musca Dark Region PJ-P b6-1 to HIP 62154. I'm hyperdicted by a Basilisk and a Cyclops. Lately I've been hyperdicted by 3 Interceptors, one will scan me the other two will hang back. The scanning thargoid is lit green, the two flanking are lit red. This time, one was running silent? No lights. No colors. The other was lit red. Neither one of them scanned me. Both stayed in formation next to each other at 480m and mirrored every move I made. I tried everything I could. Xeno scanner, Jettisoning cargo one at a time, Comp scanner got me data. Nothing evoked a responce. They just did the creepy mirror thing like the creature at the end of Annihilation. I deployed my hardpoints, scanned them both with the Xeno scanner and retracted the hardpoints. I did nothing provocative. I did not fire on them. My ship is for exploration. 3D shield, SRV bay, DSS, a cargo rack, GFSDB, Fuel scoop. I entertained Laural and Hardy for over 20 minutes before attempting to leave. I had to boost away for over 5 minutes to enter low wake. Each boost allowed the bar on the FSD Charging to go up by 1. They stayed with me doggedly. I never left Musca Dark Region PJ-P b6-1. Their hyperdiction kept me in system. The only thing I could deduce was they didn't want me to leave. I'm going back in and will remember to try the FSS and maybe the DSS. I'll also see if I can get OBS running. It was very dark out there. I turned my lights on so I could see them. There was no apparent reaction to my lights. Pics coming shortly.
[edit]
If anyone has any ideas that are non violent I'm all ears.
Not the time on the HUD in the top right. Not sure if it means anything to anyone, but this wasn't what I've experienced or heard about happening during an interdiction.

pretty common - they've always had a chance to do that.

The more recent one is where the one that's supposed to scan you actually just jumps away without even disabling you, leaving her mates just staring at you. Thargoids : fickle.
 
Oh no kidding? Yeah they didn't EMP me or scan me. I'm going to try beer and maybe some rare alcohols. Maybe some food cartridges? Are there potatoes on the market? Maybe Beer, Fish and Potatoes and they'll do something? Fish and chips with the pinwheels

Chocolate. You know how ants which are also insects go for chocolate.
