I was leaning towards the theory that the debris object was a chunk of ice, until I viewed the video. The 'dance' of the debris object is- IMHO, uncharateristic of how a heavier piece of debris, such as a chunk of ice would behave, versus a piece of foam.
IMHO If it's foam, damage seems less likely.

Yes, I did see the other debris object, impact video capture. It's hard to reach a conclusion as to what the debris object is, by watching it, and the moment of impact by the debris object is visually distorted. You can tell there was a debris object impact and you can summize that it was near where you mentioned (wheel well).

Glad you saw the 'dance' too. You apparently are one of the very few who can see it on your equipment, besides me.
I just read another response where he said that ice would be heavier and thus more likely to maintain it's momentum with the vehicle than would the foam, therefore, be traveling slower relative speed.
