Oklahoma City Thunder's plane ends up with massive dent in nose on flight to Chicago
Oklahoma City Thunder players made it to Chicago safely, but their plane did not arrive unscathed. The team's Delta charter plane was damaged during the flight from Minneapolis — with several players posting pictures on social media of the aircraft's dented nose after they landed safely.

The player comments said there was a bang they haard and felt at 30k ft. Expected to see comments below about a weather balloon.
Would love to hear more about this!
Those darn aliens! They should know they have to file a flight plan before flying their flying saucers in Alpha airspace.
I would appreciate, and many more folks interested, like the OKC Thunder team, their fans, the NBA, and the flying general public, on what is eventually found out, after an investigation. Thank you!
Looks to me like the fiberglass honeycomb failed inflight because of faulty or lack of proper maintenance. If a bird strike, there would have been blood, guts and/or feathers and most likely penetration involved. This is too clean of an oil-can effect and too symetrical, and I think it just failed and caved in. Aging radome honeycomb, without proper analytical maintenance or proper inspection it can be pretty devastating.
Holy smokes that is an insane hole in the nose of that plane. How did the players and crew not notice something was wrong until after the plane landed!?
