Noticed this on my garage camera last night. Shows how the windshield reflects infrared radiation. Thought it was cool and just wanted to share!!

So, is this a ghost story? What is the object pointed at via the red arrow, why would there be a shadow that pointed with the green arrow, and why can we see through the driver side edge?

Maybe you drove with your windows down and the cargo cover blew up front?

I'll grab the camera off the shelf when I get home and do a follow up investigation!

That appears to be the garage door opener and a shadow on the ceiling. The reflective coating acts like a mirror so you will see objects reflected in it.

Apologies for the dumb question... the Mach-Es come with an anti-IR coating/screen on the windshield?

Don't feel bad - I had the same question, just didn't ask it (thanks for taking the bullet, there)
