• I think they should check the ground below this incident - something may be there - not a bird.

  • I agree; probably fall out from all the space garbage as in comparrison the fine UFO crafts- well this jet wouldn't have survived.

• Could a bird have caused that kind of damage?
  What about a drone?
  Any thoughts?

• It may have been a bird. Although the weight of a bird is almost insignificant to that of an airplane, bird attacks cause a lot of damage.

  • At 30,000 feet?

• A bird on 30000 ft....? Come on

• Surprised they didn't say it was a weather balloon. Give ne a break. Disclosure, disclosure, disclosure.

• There was a Coyame Mexico UFO incident that was a reported mid-air collision between a UFO and a small airplane.

• This isn't the first time this has happened. I recall another incident within the last 5 years where a commercial jetliner had very similar nose cone damage. The, too, happened at high altitude. I can't recall the exact date or the airline, but a google search should find it. They also wrote it off as a bird strike. The problems with these explanations are the very high altitudes -- 30,000 feet -- where no bird could possibly fly. And in the latest case there is the fact that it happened after midnight. Some birds do migrate at night to avoid predators, but they tend to be small, so it's hard to come up any that would be large enough to do this degree of damage. There is also the fact that there is no blood on the noise cone or any other physical remains. I've seen photos of bird strikes that involve geese and there is usually a great of blood left on the skin of the aircraft. And, most intriguing is the almost perfect round impact site. One would image a bird strike to be more irregular. It seems much more likely that the plane struck something spherical.

  • Start reading about birds. Geese have been observed at over 32 00 feet and the highest altitude where a plane has collided with a bird, is at 37 000 feet. That happened in 1973 over Africa. When you read about birds, you will also find that geese migrate at these altitudes AT NIGHT ! It's amazing what one can find if one makes an effort.

• Well, it was probably the planet Venus, swamp gas, or a weather balloon. They did find a reindeer that had been hit by something big, on the ground below where this happened maybe one of Santa's helpers was flying around checking out the magic dust...
  In reality, wtf flies at 30,000 feet? There's not enough oxygen to breathe up there plus it's pretty cold.

• OK, Busted
  I looked up birds that can fly that high and found four, Rüppell's vulture, Common crane, Bar-headed goose, and a Whooper swan and more an Alpine chough can fly at 26,500ft, a Whooper swan at 27,000ft, a Bearded vulture at 24,000ft So I guess birds can get up that high and since that is a fact, well, it's probably one of these birds.

• Obviously it must have been anything but a UFO - how closed minded people are even in 2017!

  • anything BUT? you have the closed mind, tony.
