I was following a yahoo link .....came on this....anyone seen something like this before?? did someone simply paint a wrecked car to make it look this way?
NORTHBROOK, ILLINOIS, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 04, 2008, 21:20 HRS. (LOCAL)
A young woman was driving at 40-45 mph along Lake Cook Road, when her car suddenly lurched to the right for no reason that was apparent to her. There were no cars within sight on the road, and she had not seen any pedestrian or animal near the car. She stopped her car immediately, got out, and apparently was flabbergasted by the appearance of the left side of her automobile.
The investigating police officer could not provide an adequate explanation for the damage. He noted that there was no damaged paint, and no animal hair, feathers, or blood, evident on the damaged area of the car. NUFORC has passed the case along to Mr. Sam Maranto, Illinois State Director for the Mutual UFO Network (“MUFON”), for follow-up investigation.
We have no reason to believe that the incident was UFO-related, but we have no explanation for how the extensive damage to the car could have occurred. If any of the visitors to our site have ever witnessed this type of damage to a car, we would welcome comments or suggestions.

The entire left side of my car appears to be scorched but no paint was removed.
I was driving 40-45 miles per hour heading north toward I-94 East towards Chicago on Lake Cook Road. While I was in the middle lane, I felt a nudge on the left of my car which made my car shift to the right. I did not swerve out of the lane and gained control back quickly.
I slowed down and as I got my bearings, I realized that my left side mirror was knocked off and so I turned right onto Revere Drive and put on my hazard lights.
I got out of the car and saw that I had several dents on the side of my car. There were two that were deeper and larger than the others; one was located in front of the rear wheel and the other was in the center of the driver door.
I called 911 to file a police report and the officer said that I was side swiped by another car but, there were not any cars around me before or after the hit and also there were no paint scratches from other cars on my car.

The space/time gap slowly decreases and inches closer to itself. There's no impact damage on the surface of the paint at all. Definitely third dimensional. There ARE paint flakes at the stress points to show it did bend with the metal.

Northbrook is known for testing advanced thermal weapons on Lake Cook Road...![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
There were a ton of those water barrels up and down Lake cook during the road work/restructure....Lake cook and the Eisenhower. I bet she was texting or doing something other than paying attention to the road and popped one of those. (they flex and displace the water when struck) Or it was a large air blast from construction equipment....though without marks dings from debris its hard to figure that one. But if it was at the right time when a air hammer released the pressure that would move the car and pop the panels in.
