FAA claims it did not come from an aircraft as that type of metal is not used in aircraft.
No conjecture as to its source was given, but my guess it has something to do with tthe two sattelites that wacked into each other last week.

I wouldn't expect there is much cast iron in satellites for the same reason they don't use it in aircraft.
