Etwas aus dem „Weltraum“ könnte gerade einen Flug der United Airlines über Utah getroffen haben | Das NTSB sagt, es untersuche eine Windschutzscheibe einer 737 MAX nach einem seltsamen Angriff während des Fluges, der auch mehrere Schnittwunden am Arm eines Piloten verursachte, der es als „Weltraummüll“ bezeichnete.

Still zero proof it’s space debris at this point, just throwing sensationalized headlines around for clicks
I was worried this would eventually become an issue.
I recall reading that the earth is passing through a trail left by Haileys Comet right now, meteor showers can be seen at night over the next few days.
Perhaps one of those meteor fragments is what is responsible
“So was it space debris? It is impossible to know without more data” but let’s post a click bait headline anyway.
Let’s not call it „space debris“ until we can determine the source of origin. If it’s American space junk, then it’s just a lovely atmospheric fireworks display. Anybody else’s junk is deadly bombardment of innocent fisherman.
Aircraft manufacturers have used the „[Chicken Gun](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIP1KFhvnRk)“ to test jet aircraft windshields and canopies for 50 years.
As for what hit this jet, the jury is out but hopefully not for long. Incredibly bad luck if it was space junk.
Maybe the 737 Max’s windshield failed and they are trying to cover it up with this space junk story. Now ask yourself whose story makes more sense.
Because there is no way a windscreen would fail all on its own. :: Boeing_CEO_sweating_side_eye.jpeg::
I feel like I just saw news articles regarding unprecedented numbers of starlink satellites falling out of the sky, and now this. Coincidence?
The plane’s path doesn’t line up with any [known reentry tracks](https://x.com/planet4589/status/1979542263853470154) as of yet
Urging everyone to follow the Ars links to the photos, they’re really something. Looks like the object hit the corner of the windscreen where it meets the frame. Folks in the cockpit were very fortunate, even given the injuries. My money is on some type of space junk based on the pics, hope we find out
Of all the aircraft models out there it has to be a 737 Max. Man this aircraft is just doomed. Even pure bad luck comes for it.
A pilot will see splatter and grime, given its extremely high altitude but I trust him and not space chicken or do I?
I’m more interested in the talking, sentient arm
I just want to tell you both good luck, we’re all counting on you.
