Did you have the parking brake enabled while it was in/near the base?? The physics in the game are pretty weird when you go to sleep and fast forward time, it's possible that it just caught collision somewhere and gained speed and just flew away. Same thing happens with Kerfurs but usually they clip underground/underneath the base.
Edit: You're also not even close to the day where an event occurs where that would be a possible thing that could happen (not intentionally, trust me it probably won't happen again) so I'll chalk it up to weird physics.
