Windshield Hit by Spherical UFO

While driving on the West on the I70 m (East of Thompson Springs, Utah -52 miles west of the heart f Grand Junction Co) on a spring morning of 2004 or 2005 (Can't recall) my windshield literally exploded. The speed of my car would have been between 70 and 80 mph. In that instant near the center of the passenger side windshield there was a PERFECTLY spherical impact crater. The size of which was large grapefruit (ish). The impact into the glass was ~ 2-3 inches in but it did not go through the glass. I thought possibly I saw a glint before the impact but truthfully I am not sure. The force of this impact destroyed my entire windshield. Of course I immediately pulled over. There was not a car on the road and it was perfectly beautiful blue sky morning. If you go to google maps and look at the street view where I described you will see exactly the terrain. But literally there is nothing but scrubby low high desert vegetation. No overpasses no people nothing. ! It is quite barren. After pulling over the 1st thing I did was look and touch lightly touch the inside impacted glass in the car and was amazed the perfect spherical shape. Unfortunately, as I touched it because the glass was so fine it easily started to deform (just a little) and for some odd reason I choose not to take a photo (even though phones then were not the greatest this was dumb). After I got done looking at the inside and pondering what the hell caused this (going through the logical choices (Rock / Stone, bird or possibly debris from an aircraft ?of meteoroid?? in the most logical order. I get out of the car and examine the impact from the outside.. Again it is perfectly spherical, and there is no blood, feathers, dust, debris, moisture .. Nothing. Looking at the area where the incident occurred there is nothing no people no bridges nothing natural that would cause anything like this. In retrospect the force required for that type of incident had to be very grea! t but the fact there was no remnants suggests to me that the o! bject th at hit the windshield would have had to reverse itself in a 180 degree manner .. I have looked for similar incidents but have never come across one before. So I thought I would share.
