Men In Black Plot?

Alexis, Heidi and I sat on a trampoline in suburbia. The air was cool right after the sunset. My phone rang and I answered it. Then from behind me I got a glimpse of what I first thought was a satellite but knew something was wrong because it was way too close. It looked like an old satellite receiver dish but the size of a house. The flying thing crashed into houses and trees about a halfmile away from us. I screamed into my phone “holy shit holy shit something crashed into the earth.” But it didn’t come to a stop, the flying object got back up into the air and out to space. I thought that would be the only one and we were safe. I looked up and another one was heading towards us. It hit the ground a handful of houses away and pushed cars and debris towards Heidi, Alexis and I. I thought we were all going to die by an RV trailer rolling towards us or get crushed by dirt or something so I yelled that I loved them both. Instead of getting crushed we jumped inside the RV with another guy. Someone had been all packed up for a trip, with grocery bags of food and some guns. The RV didn’t stay still for long. It must have been pushed by another offset from the crashing satellite objects. We gained speed and started going downhill and into a wooded area. The unfamiliar guy was an exterminator and said he knew why this was happening. I thought maybe we should stay inside the camper for a bit until things outside quieted down but the exterminator said we must act fast if we had any chance at beating this thing. We got to a stream and Guy said hi to two lizards the size of my arm. They talked back. They were working on building something in the stream and had some tools. I snapped a lizard neck and Guy got the other. Then we hid their bodies under some rocks and kept moving. Guy said it was the lizards and bugs getting help from relatives from other planets to take over the world. So we must kill as many lizards and bugs as we can. We stomped through the forest taking time out to smash geckos. A stone wall was crawling with ants and Guy was trying to tell me the best way to scrape and kill them as I frantically rubbed the wall with a smaller rock. I told him “I’m fucking freaking out man just let me do it how I want.” And then I woke up. . .
