Whatever "struck" the Airbus apparently didn't even scratch the paint, or there would've been photos by now.

Plastic bag, or mylar balloon would make no scratches either.

Whatever the outcome, I hope that it is given official closure, but if it is NOT a drone, that won't make a newsworthy article. The "naysayers" will simply say, "well, maybe not this time....but just wait....it will happen!".

Gerald....I still haven't seen your photos. Can you describe them if you can't link them?
