Report said possible bird strike. What? A Giant Condor?
Several birds fly that high. The record holder was a Ruppell's griffon that was sucked into a jet engine 37,900 feet on November 29, 1975.
Today (7/08) the FAA says it wasn't a bird since it was reported at FL180, too high up to be a bird. They don't know what it was, however. Perhaps it was Batman? Superman?

Well that didn't take too long....
So, who won this round?
