Oh, I don't know... There are a dozen or so of us here who enjoy these articles!
That said, this looks curiously like a partially melted fragment of a hull.... (Is it time to watch a battle from Babylon 5 tonight?)
I enjoy them quite a bit myself, hence my melancholy comment about threads following such articles normally descending into joke fests.
I agree with your take on the photo. At first glance it does look like melted metal.
