Passenger jets, radar retuning and 'objects'?

So the radar has been 're-tuned' and revealed there could be a bit of a rash of different kinds of objects floating about at an altitude that is a hazard to passenger aviation, and therefore need to be 'shot down'
What would be the likely outcome of a passenger jet at 500 mph running in to one of these objects?
How come this scenario has been allowed to come about?
Have we just been lucky up to now?
