They say that it was hit by a bird, but is that possible with this kind of damage?

Oklahoma City Thunder's plane had a mid-air collision with something that left an enormous dent in the nose (Close up photos)

The Oklahoma City Thunder's plane landed safely after a mid-air collision that left a huge dent in the nose of the plane.
The Thunder were traveling to Chicago for their game against the Bulls on Saturday. It is believed that the plane collided with a bird during the flight, according to ABC News. Nobody on the plane was injured.
Thunder forward Patrick Patterson took a video of the damage to the nose of the plane.
Thunder big man Steven Adams also took a photo of the damage and jokingly asked Neil deGrasse Tyson, Bill Nye, and NASA what could have caused this type of damage 30,000 feet in the air.

I've seen images of other bird strikes on the noses of passenger planes and it seems they can make pretty large holes. Also, the fact that it's a dent rather than a tearing of the fuselage suggests a 'soft' body impact rather than something hard, like hail.

Yes, I also found such images, and although it is possible to be so in this case, it is still a little bit unusual, considering that this happened very high and in the middle of the night. Not impossible, because wiki says that there are some birds that go that high (not sure if they do night flights), but none of them live in the US region.
For example, look at this case from 2008:
But I do agree that this would have to be some soft thing. Or maybe some (new) weather phenomena could cause this?

My two cents worth. I worked on P3 Orion’s in the military, turbo-prop jet engine mechanic. I have seen many bird strikes in my years. There is no mess here. You cannot believe what kind of a mess a bird strike does. You find material in the motors, smears of you know what in every seam, crack and crevasse. This is no bird here. Not to mention of the altitude that it was hit at, raises a lot of questions.
So, what was it then? What was in the sky at this altitude that could dent a nose cone that was essentially invisible? And dent the nose cone only and not shredding it apart like a bird strike would have done. So, it was either soft in structure or it got bumped and/or got out of the way. And did I state that it was invisible.
Cause and effect. The effect is the dent. The cause was invisible to the naked eye.
Let’s look at that facet. What could be there and not be seen? Well nothing that I know of, can you think of any? Nothing that is using third density technologies. Might it be someone using forth density technologies? 4D tech, that is one possibility. It would explain the unexplainable in this situation. Then this might only be in a location where third and fourth densities are overlapping, so to say. A location high up in the atmosphere where our 3D tech normally goes freely. Now with an overlapping situation, this freely used zone is going to get a little crowded. And as time goes forward it may become unusable because of this and many other geological and interplanetary anomalies reveal themselves.
How about a physical event, like an air burst. This is an elemental issue and would be invisible to the naked eye. Now I could see this happening also. Have you seen the weather lately? And I would state that this could also be an increasing event in the future as our weather gets even worse. But if this was true then there would have been turbulence and some kind of indication of a sudden jerk in the airplane. And they did state heavy turbulence.
Look at the dent, the physical evidence. It looks like what ever did this damage was spherical in shape. From the front you see an elongated dent in the direction of the upper rib. From the side view you can see the spherical shape better. Very interesting.
The basics. A nosecone of a jet airplane is a composite fiber reinforced material. It is aerodynamic is shape, hallow in structure and houses a radar component. There is the antenna that sweeps inside of this area. A dent like this would render the antenna motionless. The nosecone is very unique. It is meant to split along the seams, you can see that it crossed two of these seams and it did not affect them. Whatever impacted this nosecone did it almost simultaneously. Like the plane hit a big ping pong ball.
Another effect is what did the plane did do when this happened. It changed altitude to go below the area. Still turbulent but flyable. Kind of like someone punched the plane and said, ‘Get out of my way’. With weather being a battle in 4D, this is not far too out of the question. A nudge to tell others that we are using this airspace right now, and/or you do not want to be here right now. So, a kindly nudge, that would be a STO response. Non-damaging, but noticeable.
The end result, was that the plane diverted and made it to its destination with all of its passengers.
I would say that the STO powers that really be, intervened and took appropriate actions in this instance. It was not their time, to say. Otherwise someone would not have intervened. I would say that there was some connection to those on the flight, that they were not to depart this day. Was someone carrying a chateau crystal? Haiku …
