Might seem a bit inscrutable if you're not up on planetary geology. Bottom line is the rock appears to predate the formation of our solar system, making it interstellar in origin. It's impact on Earth seems to be associated with an impact formed glass known as Libyan Desert Glass, found in the Sahara Desert region of Libya. I have a specimen of Libyan Desert Glass, (it's a lot prettier then this strangest of meteorites known), and will try to post a photo to this thread at some point.
Some meteorites include inclusions that represent material from a supernova outside our own solar system prior to our system's formation. But this seems to be the first actual rock that is interstellar in origin....
