Bird/airplane collisions are a real problem, routinely leading to airplane damage and occasionally bringing down planes and killing its occupants. Wired explains that it gets weirder:
And its not just birds. Sometimes jet-stream encounters can take a page from the X-Files. “We’ve had frogs, turtles, snakes. We had a cat once that was struck at some high altitude,” said the Smithsonian’s Dove. She says birds like hawks and herons will occasionally drop their quarries into oncoming planes. “The other day we had a bird strike. We sent the sample to the DNA lab and it came back as rabbit. How do you explain to the FAA that we had a rabbit strike at 1,800 feet?”
Yow.
I’d say somebody has been having some WILD Dreams!! (or was it a nightmare??)
