So I was driving on the freeway last night around 12:30 am, and all of a sudden I hear a LOUD CRACK, followed by a succession of 3-4 slightly quieter cracks, all within a span of one second. When I got home, I did a quick inspection of my front bumper and didn't see anything, so I thought it was fine. However, today when I was about to get into my car, I looked down and noticed this HUGE CRATER on the side of my door. There are also a couple of smaller scratches on the surface of my moonroof. They're very fine, but they show because the whiteness of the scratches stand out from the tint.
I showed it to my dad and friend, and they suggested that it might be from a BB pellet. Keep in mind that I was not close to any cars. There were no cars next to me, and I was about a half a mile behind the car in front of me. I was also only going 64 mph exactly. I'm not sure about their theory though. Why would someone shoot me from the other side of the freeway? I did notice some debris on the freeway before all the cracks, but however, it still is weird that the side of my car got impacted, while my front was undamaged.
Anyone have any opinions or theories on what might have happened? And any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
