Description of the problem	While driving approx. 60 mph on highway, 5/12/19, in light rain/mist with mild temps around 50 degrees f., i heard a sudden "bam!" and thought my windshield was shot at by a shotgun but it wasn't. Kept driving but heard a swooshing of air sound. All windows were up so i slid the shade panel open to see the sunroof and saw a hole the shape of tennessee in the middle of the sunroof with the glass around the hole pointing upward.... As though it was a forced explosion from the inside out. No broken glass or foreign object was found laying inside the shade panel. No rock or meteorite was seen flying my way while driving. Either an object fell from the sky directly into the center of my sunroof or the sunroof exploded on its own.
