Fortean. The strange case of the Seattle Windshield Pitting Epidemic. Thanks to Alan at HistoryLink.On April 15, 1954, Bellingham, Seattle and other Washington communities are in the grip of a strange phenomenon -- tiny holes, pits, and dings have seemingly appeared in the windshields of cars at an unprecedented rate.
