Quick Google.Images search for golf ball hits and there are several that look similar.

Yea probably some kids hitting stuff then, I'll try and get a clearer look when I get home. I'm just really glad it didn't dent any of the panels, that would've been a bigger problem. Also as long as somebody didn't do it intentionally I'm not gonna worry about it, I just hope it wasn't intentional.

I think its safe to say a fast-moving, small and approximately circular shaped object. What it is, nobody can tell. Rock, ball bearing, pellet, golf ball, you name it.

Do I win a prize for suggesting ball bearing? Why did I think that? I used to restore and still own several pinball machines.

Some a hole did that...not by accident. Ball bearings don't drop from the sky.

I'll send this ball bearing to you to keep? hahaha
You think it wasn't an accident? Someone actually walked up to the car and did that? I was just thinking they played with a slingshot or something and shot it in the air and it happened to hit the wrong spot. Either that or just throwing it as far as they could not caring where it falls.

No hole, just a weblike crack in the middle and shattered glass around that. Good thing no holes as I don't have time this week to get it replaced and it wouldn't have been good if it rained.

That is smaller than a pinball. However, I also have a Pirates of the Caribbean toy (but real) pinball machine that I pimped out with LED lighting and stuff and that is probably the ball size for that machine. It is also the size ball from the old coin operated pitch and bat machines . I don't know if you are old enough to know what I am talking about. They used to be in bowling alleys.

It is to centered in your windshield I cant help thinking it wasn't an accident. Probably a kid with a wrist rocket slingshot as a ball that small probably wouldn't hit the windshield with enough force to cause that damage otherwise.

Unless it fell out of an aircraft or something.
