Police say they have no record of reports of an airplane crash that occurred in the city of Raleigh and no reports of injury or property damage have been made.
The FAA arrived at the site around midday.
Delta Air Lines told the agency that Flight 3247 landed safely at Raleigh-Durham International Airport, but the plane was missing part of a wing flap.
The Boeing 737-900 flew out of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
The FAA is investigating whether the object found in the Raleigh driveway is from the plane.
Delta said in a statement, "After the aircraft landed safely, it was observed that a portion of the left wing's trailing edge flap was not in place. Delta is fully supporting retrieval efforts and will cooperate with investigations as nothing is more important than safety."
