“Windscreen being sent to NTSB laboratories for examination.”The strike occurred Thursday, during a United Airlines flight from Denver to Los Angeles. Object’s Origin Not ConfirmedThe captain of the flight reportedly described the object that hit the plane as “space debris.” This has not been confirmed, however. So was it space debris? That was the initial conclusion of the pilot, but a meteor is more likely than space debris. That is at least an order of magnitude greater than the amount of human-made space debris that survives reentry through Earth’s atmosphere.
