What are the chances that this is a piece of Earth that was "splashed" into orbit by an ancient asteroidal impact, and finally its orbit brought it back?
Enough velocity to escape, but oribital elements tying it to the earth-moon gravitational system?

Lots of ice out there. However, the isotope ratios will give us a clue. Since this is over 7 years old now, I will try to find out.
