An unknown force damaged a woman’s car as she drove on Lake-Cook Road in Northbrook, Illinois on 4 November 2008, at around 9:19 p.m., according to the Northbrook Star.

No paint was removed, and it’s unlikely that the car hit a deer, since no hair or blood was found.

Quote from the article:
“ ‘ ... The entire left side of my car appears to be scorched but no paint was removed,’ the driver is quoted as saying on the website.”

Director of Illinois MUFON, Sam Maranto (not Matrano) has investigated this case.
