(We could not locate the object, no other cars around) - anyhow it penetrated through the bumper and clipped a plastic tank inside the bumper. This small tank contained coolant.The tank itself is intact. The black tube that leads from the bottom of this tank up towards the radiator shattered at the point that it joined to the plastic tank. The plastic tank is immediately empty.It was dark out and I could not see enough to be more specific.
