I notice you are US based. Is it mandatory to report all strikes?
It's impossible to mandate a subjective call.

With no overt symptoms the pilots won't take the time to fill out a report "might have hit a bird"

From after the fact walkaround inspections it looks like only 10% of the strikes get reported. That's good because it confirms the tolerance of the machine to the event to begin with.
