A Delta Airlines that had just departed from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas (KAUS) in Texas Saturday returned to the airport after it collided with something authorities say may have been a bird or a drone.

Delta Spokeswoman Savannah Huddelston told CNN that there were 126 passengers and five crew aboard the Airbus A319.
