The Chicago Tribune reported the nose of the twinjet Boeing 757-200 was dented and appeared as if the plane hit something hard enough to cause the nose to invert.

The report noted a spokeswoman for Delta, said she believes the plane hit a bird as the plane descended into Chicago about 12:45 a.m. No one was hurt and the plane landed without incident. Maintenance workers will continue to investigate exactly what happened.
