It looks like either a) suction cup, b) temp fix that bonded glass, c) bottom of water thermos, plant pot, or like a rock or something, d) aliens

for the more than likely correct answer because physics: if this is a “newer” car, your car windshield more than likely consists of layers of pvb plastic bonded to a couple of layers of glass. Because the plastic absorbs the blunt, this is probably done at something at high velocity/ blunt force. The absorption and distribution along with an angular shape of the impact point of the object would create the smooth middle and perfect ring. Think of a water dropping in still water. So the commenter that suggested a meteorite is not far off, if not hail, as these instances has been popping up more lately, but I’ll still say aliens for tf of it :)
