Is my guess that it was a Canada goose that flew inside a jet engine on Air Force-2 as it was departing Laconia Airport, creating engine sparks and requiring the plane to circle back, land, and get replaced by a second airplane. An Air Force repair team flew in to repair the damaged engine, as well.
Weighing from 10-15 lbs, a Canada goose is an even-steven match in a fight with a bald eagle, so they normally keep their distance from one, another. The head, beak, entire body and energy plus the loud honking sound are its weapon when it goes to repel another invader bird from its territory.
So, what was that Canada goose thinking? ....
Canada geese do not really "think" so much, they seem to act on their learned and inherited instincts and can be very protective of their territory. Honking loud and aggressive honks has given them the name, 'honkers' ....... as in ........ incoming honkers dead ahead ..... arrgghh! ...... pull up, pull up!

Correction: Just learned the plane, Air Force Two, was departing from Manchester Airport, formerly Grenier Field-US Army Air Corps, and not Laconia Airport. Here's the best video news on it I could find .......
