Just read this TSB report:

To sum it up, the First Officer took a controlled rest but didn't follow procedure to notify the head flight attendant, he overslept the allowed 40 minutes. He just woke up from his nap when TCAS picked up an opposite–direction United States Air Force Boeing C–17 at FL340 (1000' below). The Captain was monitoring the TCAS, The FO mistook the planet Venus for the C-17 aircraft coming at them from above. FO reacted by pushing the aircraft into a dive injuring 16 on board.

 

Here is a YouTube video on-board the flight after the incident showing damage to the panels, at the time the passengers thought it was turbulence:
