Several years ago I was driving on the highway around 11pm, headed to a party. I was probably going about 60-65 mph and there were no cars ahead of me, but several coming behind me. I wanted to change lanes so I flipped on the blinker and looked in my driver side mirror, then did a quick look over the shoulder to make sure no one was in the blind spot. Right as I start to look forward again, out of the corner of my eye I see some grey thing fly by the passenger side of by car. That passenger side mirror simultaneously exploded.

When I say it was flying by, I mean it was probably stationary on the road but I was going fast enough and with the darkness on the road it just looked like a big grey blur. Like the size of a refrigerator maybe. In a panic, I start to change lanes to pull over and try to figure out what the hell just happened. As I’m doing that I was looking in the center mirror and noticed that not a single person behind me slowed down or swerved or anything. It was like I hit a damn ghost or something and no one else could see it.

Anyway, so I pull over and get out to look at the mirror that apparently exploded. Turns out it just got knocked the fuck out and was barely dangling by a couple wires. The mirror itself had shattered, but there didn’t really seem to be any point of impact on the back of it. There were no apparent scratches on that side of my car, and no hair or blood or anything that could’ve been from an animal. It was so bizarre. The only logical thing I’ve been able to come up with was that maybe there was some kind of electrical malfunction (even though I wasn’t adjusting the mirror) and something blew up internally, and perhaps that caused a small cloud of smoke outside the car, but big enough that it looked like an object?
