“”Thursday after the plane’s windshield hit an object, cracking it.””

Strange writing but like any other article anymore...Thursday - what Thursday - no date - “last Thursday.” I guess that’s it.

How about “an object hit the plane’s windshield?”

They say weather balloon, but they mean alien spacecraft.

Apparently it was the object which was cracked.

Weather balloon? That’s just what they want you to believe.
Here’s the real culprit.

The result of having people write stories who didn't learn English as a first language because they get paid less to do the job.

Drones and balloons need to be licensed, tracked and overseen by government aviation authorities. Illegal and/or unlicensed operation, particularly in designated commercial air corridors or military airspace need to be severely punished with significant fines and licensing revocation. Additional federal regulators will need to be hired and assigned to deal with these circumstances. All airborn devices found to be out of compliance should be forfeited and/or destroyed.

I remember in the 1960s when a buzzard went through the windshield of a B-52 bomber.

Doesn’t the aircraft have a proximity warning device? Or is a weather balloon too small for it to spot?
