Caution: reading the comments section of that post may cause you to pound your head into a wall.
What kind of narcissistic egotism causes these people to think that they're qualified as an expert on all subjects and that the world NEEDS to hears their comments?
Remember that Martin Bishop guy? It's him in every comment: zero experience or knowledge, yet uber confident and opinionated.

Drone collides with 737 in Africa:
Airlive is reporting that a drone collided with a Boeing 737-700 as it was on approach to Tete, Mozambique airport on Thursday. The 737 landed safely, but the right-hand side of the nose dome and fuselage were badly damaged.
The plane was carrying 80 passengers and a crew of 6, according to the Aviation Herald, which has more pictures of the damaged nose dome. "The crew heard a loud bang," they report, adding that "no abnormal indications followed. The crew, suspecting a bird strike, continued the approach for a safe landing." But USA Today notes that "While pilots have reported hundreds of sightings of drones near planes, previous suspected collisions have been debunked."

If it collided on approach and the nose was damaged as in the photos but the pitot tubes just aft are untouched that is hard to believe. I like the stairs or catering truck theory and a good cya story much better.

So much for speculation.....NOTHING hit this airplane, in the air or on the ground.
