The lack of scraping or blood/hair looks like a uniform pressure or overpressure wave similar to a concussion without debris. The scorching noted indicates an explosion in the vicinity of the car from my way of thinking.

But of what?

Magnetic force capable of doing that would leave the entire vehicle permanently magnetised, since it was moving in relation to the causal event, so I would think

magnetism is a force of electrons or electric charges in motion. If that motion is due to electrons moving, its classified as electromagnetism. If that motion is due to spinning its a permanent magnet.

if it were a deer, that deer would have been visible from aways out and have actually started to run out into the road to hit at a glance angle. no way a deer runs full tilt in the road at the direct moment of that car going by,and causing that much damage broadside. car would have been going to fast, damage area is to big. to much damage for there not to be trace evidence left behind from an animal

A guy I used to work with was driving the shop truck (03 f350 6.uhoh) and it was dusk, he was clipping along at about 70mph, and a deer ran right into the side of the shop truck. Smashed up the box right behind the cab and crushed it in so bad that it needed a new box. It can happen!

I'm still convinced it was a blast wave.

Other side was not damaged.

Disorientation during the event could account for it being percieved as "Just a nudge"

I still believe the car was sitting still, if it was in motion, why didn't the side curtain air bags go off? They are standard equipment on that car, which is a Mitsubishi Lancer. I know someone that has a 2007 or 2008 Lancer, that was hit in the right side with a fork lift, and the damage, while being more centralized, was about the same at impact. I know the Side curtain air bags went off on the passenger side and I think they went off on the drivers side too.

NiteMare before the others ask I'll answer that an USO is not a traveling show to entertain the troops but an Unidentified SUBMERGED Object. Unidentified submerged object - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't blame people for seeing or believing in UFOs giving the constant media bombardment. It's just that I don't, every UFO sighting that I am aware of has been explained, now before someone goes "theres this one time (in any state) that we done saw some bright lights and no one not even the air force knows why" please save it I don't feel like getting into the whole are UFOs real or not. There is unexplained phenomena, I won't deny that, I just don't believe in them that's all.

I always ask someone that doesnt believe in them WHEN they say there is no such thing, to prove there isnt. Its one of those things, cant prove them, cant prove there isnt such things.

For the record there are lots that havent been explained, and lots that the military as stammered and stuttered and gave the "swamp gas" explanation for!

Nothing wrong with not believing that there arent unidentified flying objects though
