Tourist just reporting what occurred for info.

You are obviously not a pilot or you would realise birds don't fly that high at night (with the possible exception of geese using mountain wave during migration). I did have a night time birdstrike out of Miami once at about 1,000', fairly sure it wasn't a drone...but still made a loud thud as it hit the windscreen! A drone, I fear, would be much louder.
