It was just a sudden solar eclipse, don't worry about it, unless the card happened to be in the camera when you dropped it.
I agree with the glitch theory. |

I'm jumping on the glitch bandwagon too -- I think I've had a couple of odd captures where the EXIF (and output) indicated a shutter-speed of 1/4000, which I don't even have a setting for ...
The cards don't have any moving parts, so dropping them (unless, as noted, while still in the camera) should have no ill effects.
In the long ago days when we were using CF and Smart-Media cards (I have one which is a whopping 64MB -- might hold two RAW images today, 50 JPEGs then), I read an article where they put memory cards through some real-world tests and then tried to recover the images. I believe all of them passed the "left in a pocket during wash cycle" test, and a couple of them even passed the "nail to a tree" test ...
FWIW there's an annular solar eclipse coming up Sept. 1, which looks like it will be visible over much of Africa. |

Would that be likely to happen for one shot and not for the next one taken a few seconds later? |
Possible yes if it got stuck at some point then freed itself |

In this case 1/4000 was probably right because the correctly exposed photo showed the same exposure settings.
With so many people saying it's a glitch, I'm hopeful that it won't happen again. Of course I won't know until I find time to use the camera again.

The same happened to me again today while shooting for No-Land Skyscape.
I'm not sure whether it's a coincidence, but both times the problem occurred in very bright light and both were the first photo after I switched my camera on.
