An unidentified object broke the windscreen of a Boeing 737 MAX 8, reportedly injuring the pilot

A United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 has been struck by a mysterious object mid-flight, which some suspect may have been debris from space.

United Flight 1093 took off from Denver, Colorado, on Thursday with 140 people on board and was scheduled to land in Los Angeles. About 40 minutes after its departure, the aircraft began descending unexpectedly while flying over Utah and was diverted to Salt Lake City.

Unverified images on social media appear to show fuselage damage and broken glass in the cockpit, as well as blood on the pilot’s arm.
