The views went crazy!

Yeh, that's probably the best way to find out, just wanted to see if anyone shared this experience.

Somebody shared it somewhere most likely. Some share spikes last longer than others depending on where or who shared it. If you get lucky this will be just the start, sometimes a website will post to their site, then an hour or so later post to their Facebook wall and then it REALLY blows up. This one really surprised me back last may, right where you see the blue starting was right after I got a Tweet saying to check their website. The huge spike is when they posted to Facebook... Haven't had one like this since then which makes me sad. In about 2 days you'll be able to click playback locations/embedded views and it will likely have a spike. Here's where you can find what website it was shared on. I have tracked things like this down and found ways to have them share more videos sometimes on my smaller spikes.

Wait until YouTube updates today's analytics (will take a day or two.) Then go into your traffic sources for the 29th. You'll be able to see if most of those views came from suggested videos, youtube search, external, etc. Hopefully, they all came from suggested videos.

Yeah, I agree with this.

Looking at that graph on the right, it's either YouTube experimenting putting your video in and out of the suggested videos OR it's been shared on social media or a website somewhere. "Suggested videos" would be the most lucrative, like @Painter says.

If I had to bet money, I'd say it looks like Twitter traffic from quite a big Twitter account.
 
As others have mentioned... It got shared by someone with some pull. I had that happen a few times, and it generated a fair bit of traffic. Nothing that lingered though, as soon as the pool dried up it turned back to a few views a day if that.
 
2 of my videos did that. I look up the title of the videos that my videos are named and they were at the top so thats why mine did it.
