This was a jet, carrying the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team to Chicago, reportedly cruising at roughly 30,000 feet, when it collided with a small object. The plane landed safely, nobody was hurt, but the nose radar fairing was kind of bashed in.
Speculation is that it was a large bird. Except... this was 30,000 feet up.
There are a small handful of birds in the world that can fly that high, but none in North America as far as I know. The highest-flying birds around here can maybe reach 20,000 ft.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't Venus. I don't think it was aliens either. I'm not certain what it was.
