I'm not sure what it is, but I'm in the camp that it's most likely a rock. But a very interesting rock! Especially considering it changed its trajectory but not its spin. It's extremely unlikely to be a probe because it's heading in a different direction from where it came from. And if it's an interstellar traveler, it's probably going too slow, or at least hasn't bothered to pick up speed as it exits.
I don't think we'll ever truly know enough about it. Even as just a rock, there's a ton to learn there! And sadly we'll only ever have a small slice of data about it.
