Avi Loeb 'believes' it's another alien tech interstellar meteor, except this one 'touched down' to become a meteorite.
The fruitless hunt for MH370 may give some clue as to how long this one will go on for.
If you were in a craft on a collision course with a planet, don't you think that you might just ease off on the throttle and perhaps look for some way to slow down rather than ploughing into the planets surface? If it hit as fast as suggested, it didn't try to stop, which means it wasn't controlled by anything intelligent (or with a survival instinct).

Perhaps eons of utterly boring interstellar travel sapped any survival instinct. 'After all this, just a shitty class 5a planet coming up - best to end it and go out in a blaze of glory'.
Son of Oumuamua. Methinks it's a case of spicing up a narrative in hope of gov funding continuing. Curious to know how they figured it was 'stronger than iron'.
