Don't have to hit anything for that to happen. If it looks to be growing relatively quickly, let all air out of tire and put your spare on.

Called a blister, and it means some of the plies have separated and air has intruded into the separation. Will blow out unpredictably.

I have to ask: Why? It's not like it will explode and hurt you.

To OP, everyone is correct, the tire is toast. Unrepairable. The cords in the structure of the tire have separated, and it will fail soon. Change it now, while you're in a safe place and not in a hurry.

While it's not likely to happen, it can explode and would most definitely hurt if hit.

Okay, if it was that big, I'd let the air out first. Probably with a handgun from a distance.
