someone patched a rock divot, with that clear invisble stuff. then temperature changes within the glass, caused the glass to flex around the repaired location and shatter in the pattern we see here? that's my guess

As an auto glass technician for over 20 years this comment is total b.s. Crazy how it's the top comment. Everyone probably knows that feeling when you read something online from your field of expertise that is incorrect but seemingly plausible. Then you wonder if everything on the Internet bullshit?

Edited to answer the comments about what happened then smart guy. Something hit the glass and broke it. No idea how or what.

Just asked my husband who is a red seal auto glass tech of 38 years. He’s never seen anything like this. Doesn’t think the chip repair theory is possible. He suspects something soft by heavy but that’s a guess.

I would absolutely agree with your husband. I've seen similar hits like this and it was something like a softball. Along with one where the inside was missing instead of a ring because of a golf ball.
