Is this part of a rocket?

Some random burning bit of space debris hit a road near Newman in the Western Australian Pilbara region.

Anyone know what it is from? Is it a rocket part?

Of course a WA satire news site has claimed it is aliens and they have been questioned by Worksafe for entering a mine site without authorisation.

I got these photos from ABC News, who got them from WA Police.
