Given its shape and size appears to have changed substantially as it passed through the solar system[1], it seems like the comet theory is the best to explain what it was. In terms of its shape, the article also suggests that was misleading and it may have been much more flat and at least one, possibly two orders of magnitude smaller than originally believed.
