Looks like a fire extinguisher spray pattern, but not totally sure. If you can blow it off with your breath, it shouldn't cause any damage to your paint. Hopefully it comes off easily.
I had a similar problem with the punkass kids in my old neighborhood. They would smash my mail box for no reason other than fun. That happend twice randomly. I dislike stupid people. 
Kids used to do that to my grandpa. He reinforced his box with concrete. They tried to smash it...prob hurt themselves...punks!

The first time it happend, they knocked the mail box down and split it in two. I suggested to get a concret box, but it rarely happend and the parents thought it wasn't necessary. The second time it happend they just dented the aluminum and we just popped it out.
Austin, do you have any stupid drop-outs that might find that funny anywhere near your house? It might of been some random vandalism that just happend to your car.

1: call popos

Def Fire ext, I work around them all of the time, I wouldn't taste it though, it may be a Halon ext which sucks all of the oxygen from where it is so the fire can't breath.

The white stuff in the gas door looks a heck of a lot like sugar to me (hard to tell from the pic). It could just be a little of the fire extinguisher chemical. Either way I don't know if I'd take the chance driving it. Has it been "myth busted" if sugar in the gas tank actually damages a car? I'm sure it can't be good

Having had to use a fire extinguisher inside our shop, I concur that it looks like extinguisher residue. We had to hose down a police car we were lettering when an errant welding spark caught a blanket on fire.  Burning blanket ended up on the hood of the police car, and the car was quickly sprayed with the extinguisher. It leaves a yellowish fine powder. Washes right off with no ill effects.

I'm 95% positive that that one got busted.

The other thing to notice too is that salt puts out fires, so the texture and taste sort of reinforce that idea as well. Hey I'm just speaking out my asz but chemically it's true
