Some great thoughts!! Love the inventiveness of this group - clearly slightly insane, but definitely inventive!! Cloaked Romulans and the Death Star tractor beam are clearly the likely cause!!
Sadly from the point of view of creating a good story, I think the tyre burst is the most likely reason, although that crane thing was well past the car in front when we felt the impact, so surprised it would have hit him too.
Sonic boom - still a possible - we were just north of Nottingham on the M1, so there are airforce bases around there - however they are only supposed to go supersonic over the sea unless there is an emergency like the one mentioned by Gambalunga - they usually "own up" to those events shortly after but I can't find any reports of them. There were thunderstorms about on Monday I think - the clouds don't look like thunder storm clouds from the video clip, but ...maybe!
Not a jaguar red, Gambalunga - a boring Mazda SUV!!
Thanks to all!!
