ATTACKED? Calling All FBI/ Physics/ Glass Specialists in The OzBargain Community

Hi all,

Calling all investigators.
Heard a loud bang, and saw a crack on my home window on the second floor at 830pm

Shattered Glass Attack by Human-if so what? Bird? or Is this a Natural Occurrence?

Edited: no ball found. Could it be a gun? a tiny rock?

    Soccer Ball?

    • The last time I booted a ball through the glass was in year 5. The ball went through; what time did you hear the bang?

      • it is in the second floor though. No balls found and heard the bang at 830

        • The ball I booted through the window was through a second storey classroom window which happened during recess. Kids would be at school by 8.30am you would think. Looks a little too big for a bird.

    wait until tomorrow and see if anything left outside of window. it should be a ball shape item hit your window

    If it was done by a human then there might be a projectile lying around somewhere.

    If it was done by an animal (e.g bird, snek, woolly mammoth) then it might already gone.

    I work at the FBI. Somewhere out there, something is watching you. There are alien forces acting in ways we can't perceive. Are we alone in the universe? Impossible. When you consider the wonders that exist all around us. Voodoo priests of Haiti, Tibetan Numerologists of Appalachia. The unsolved mysteries of…Unsolved Mysteries. The truth…is out there!

    Anyway, I think it was a tennis ball.

    Elon Musk today announced he thinks we are one big video game that aliens are playing. The crack could be glitch in the software.

    • GTA: Earth…now to find some hookers… :)

      • The Hookers Downloadable content is not available for players under the age of 18.

        HOOKERS DLC available from Rockstar today for 599 (USD)

    Probably a soccer ball. Gun bullets do not produce holes like this. Same with tiny rocks, cracks would extend from the middle

    • Ughhh, looks like a ballistic specialist from CSI.

      Look at the pattern of shattered glass.
      1. no tiny hole - not sharp and high speed object.
      2. shattering pattern not pointing towards one centre - again confirm object is blunt and spread the force evenly until the weakest point starts to crack.
      3. not complete circle - object has to come from a higher angle. And on 2nd floor, the object would have come parabola.

    Blame winter. My guess… your window frame has contracted due to the change in temperature and has caused a stress in the pane of glass. This or aliens.

    • This, and glass is notorious for sometimes just randomly cracking, particularly clear glass pool fences etc. Check window frames for rot/ rust, is there direct heat near the glass? If not, just unlucky.

  • Are you going to tape up the window until it can be fixed?

      African or European?

  • Does it reek of cheap cologne outside the window??? David Beckham could be responsible for this…

  • Looks like Ironman

      You'd better hope some low-life doesn't come in here and personally attack you by insulting your mental health for attempting humour like that…oh hang on a tic, no need to worry, that low-life in another thread was you! :/

        Wow! Was anyone else surprised by the twist at the end? I never would have guessed it was me the whole time. Brilliant use of italics my friend.

        So I'm a low life, living the high life, just trying to stay alive. ahahahah. Staying alive. Staying alive.

    To be honest, OP you'll get better results and useful information by doing your own investigations.

    Knock on each neighbour's door tell them what happened. Ask them if or what they heard at 8:30pm. Peek around to see if they have any teenage children or basketballs/soccer balls/footballs/etc.

    You might be surprised at the responses you get. Some might be appreciative that you warned them about funny business in the area. Some will connect it with a similar experience they had with their windows a year ago. Some will recall quirky non-related events which might also interest you. Some will not open their door. Some will be in domestic/relationship disputes throwing each other's junk off the balcony.

    Even if there was an FBI/Coroner on OzBargain they would still be useless as they cannot examine the scene of the crime. Eg. weather (wind, hail, frost), lighting, surrounding location (forest, sporting oval, courtyard, fencing, pedestrian access), trajectory/vantage points, etc.

  • It's from a ball of some kind. Something large and soft on the descent downwards and hitting the window. Definitely not a gunshot

  • A ball, and an accident.

    A soccer ball, kicked by a weak, sickly child :(

    • +3

      As a kind hearted human being, I'd let the child go with a light scolding.

      But as a Professional Ozbargainer I'd make the parents pay for damages.

  • Drone. Might be a free drone (with a broken prop) outside.

  • No ball found? Would venture to say that perhaps the culprit is a fat owl…. a fat owl who was drunk on a Friday night and failed to apply his brakes properly…

  • The most probable explanation is ball lightning.

  • A fat antman
