Chinese Airplane Collides with an Unknown Object Mid-Flight?

Chinese Airplane Collides with an Unknown Object Mid-Flight?

Ever since I watched LOST, I’ve had absolutely no desire to fly on an airplane again. And today’s story doesn’t alleviate any fears I have of flying. So on June 4th, 2013 a Chinese passenger flight took off towards Guangzhou. 40 mins. into the flight however, the plane collided with an unknown object and forced the plane to turn around and land back at the departure point due to “worsened performance” issues. After passengers were safely escorted off, maintenance crews saw the nose of the plane had a huge dent in it. This prompted an internal investigation that is currently still going on. Photos of the dented plane have been posted to the internet and people have begun to speculate what exactly collided with the plane. Some have suggested that it was a bird, but the plane was flying at 26,000 feet which is to high for any know bird (The highest flying bird is the Bar-headed goose, which has been recorded at around 21,000 feet). There are paint transfer marks, which has ruled out the ‘collapsing air pressure in the nose’ theory. 

I was gonna make a “Made in China” joke, but I felt it would be to much of a CHEAP joke! (That was horrible) Anyways, I’m not sure what could’ve hit the plane. Even if it was a bird, that would have to have been one big bird to make a dent that big. If it was something known, than I’d probably go with a rogue meteor. It was falling to Earth and the plane just happened to be in the right (or I guess wrong) spot for them to collide. If it was something unknown, then I guess we have to go with it being a UFO. So depending on what you believe in, this story could go either way. If you don’t really believe in UFOs/aiens then you’ll probably think it was a meteor or something of that sort. If you do believe in UFOs/aliens, then you’ll probably think it was a UFO or something of alien origin. As of right now, there is no right or wrong answer, it’s just a matter of what you believe it most likely was. I personally think it was probably a meteor or some kind of space junk. But, what do you think it was? Could it have been a UFO or was it something like a meteor?
