Re: Any idea of what may have caused this?
First thing, welcome to Autogeek Online.
It is kinda hard to tell from the pictures but if you can maybe take a picture where the light source is halfway into the defect & on a fair bit of an angle, we may be able to see if it is something that has etched into your clear, as you have stated that you can feel it, chances are something has. This can make the base coat (colour) appear different too.

Re: Any idea of what may have caused this?
I can see what u r talking about in the first photo......looks almost as if it has a leather-like grain to it......I'm guessing etching from bird poo

Here is a better picture. As I stated before the spot is quite hard to get a good picture of. I think this shows its etched into the paint somehow.

Yep, that's definitely etching caused by bird droppings

Yep, pretty certain thats what has happened. Great job capturing it in the photo, exactly how I wanted to see it. Sorry this has happened to your paint though.

Can that be wet sanded out? Have similar on my black Ram 1500 but on my hood. Was on the hood less than 45 minutes.

Very careful and extremely slow sanding, then polishing to level the clearcoat. Just remember that the sanded area will be much thinner afterward. The clear could fail much faster than the clear around it.
