I rode to work on Friday and went out of town to work. I left the bike parked in our shop.
Saturday, when I got back, I move the bike into the parking lot so the roll up doors could be shut and it kind of acted a little funny but once I was moving, it seemed fine. I even did a quick look around.
On my way home, the bike was acting very heavy in the turns, caught road lines and wobbled some and I was thinking it was just the road. I ride the superslab and was traveling at 80 MPH. I was rounding a bend when the back end started wobbling and sliding which caused the bars to start wobbling. Luckily I was able to get it onto the shoulder safely. Took a quick look and the rear tire was completely flat. Called a tow truck to get her home and while I was waiting, I moved the bike in small increments looking for some road debris and found nothing. Once I got her back into her house, I tried airing up the rear and it wouldn't fill past 10psi and would drop right back to zero in a couple of seconds. I felt air rushing from under the fender so I moved her around and found this:

That appears to be a puncture right in the middle of my tire tread. It's about 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" long.
I am almost 100% positive that I didn't run over anything (front tire is fine).
Please give some thoughts as to what could have caused this.
