    This an odd one the hole was found above the passengers cabin, the hole is on top of the plane.They haven't ruled anything out yet
    (CNN) -- FBI investigators were working Tuesday to discover what caused a small hole in the body of a US Airways jet.
    A pilot discovered the hole Monday while checking the aircraft before a flight, the airline said.
    The puncture in the Boeing 737 airliner is the size and shape of a bullet hole, but that doesn't mean someone shot at the plane, said Amy Thorenson, a spokeswoman for the FBI in Charlotte, North Carolina. Investigators don't yet know what could have caused the hole, she said Tuesday morning.
    The airline declined to comment.

    Given the often lax gun laws in the USA, why are they surprised at this?

    There will be always some fool who will think that it is funny to take a pot shot.

    He would have had to be above the plane to do it, or at least level with it

    Odd ok. Perhaps located at height and distant from the airfield. Would then have to be a high powered weapon? Perhaps it could be airbourne debris of some sort.
